… and after a hiatus that I hope will be the longest that happens after six years of writing this blog.<\/p>\n

The URL for librariansmatter.com was not redirecting to librariansmatter.com\/blog. After poking about and talking to my very nice and patient friend Blake<\/a>, I found that the .htaccess file had been altered to point somewhere else and that the installation had some very suspicious files injected into it. I spent yesterday backing it all up, blowing away what was there and re-installing WordPress.<\/p>\n

My life, similarly, has been feeling a bit hacked in the last 12 months, but I am hoping that in 2013 I can focus a little more on doing some of the things I prefer to do – like blogging here and at FQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am facilitating three workshops and am chairing a panel at two conferences in February in Brisbane next year, so I hope to provide more details in separate posts over the next couple of days. \u00a0Given that the day-long workshop is all about installing and using WordPress, rebuilding my blog was a (great? welcome?) opportunity to take some screenshots of how to install and tweak a WordPress site…really, thanks hackers…<\/p>\n

I am also hoping to start another Flickr project for the new year. Having done a daily image for 2009 and then again in 2011 I am aiming to take an image each day in 2013 of things that make me happy… so if you are in my Flickr contacts and were part of the Daily Image project in 2011, you may be getting an email from me soon…<\/p>\n

(I’d like to say thanks to\u00a0Melanie in Germany who took time out when she received an automatically generated “hello world” post in her RSS feed to find out what had happened and send me an encouraging email).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
