What to do after some blog downtime

My blog (this one) has been down for almost a week now. What a mission, what a ballsup, what a pain in mine and Justin's asses.Initially we thought we were dealing with a server problem. Not so much.Then we thought it was a DNS problem. Not so much (not so good after many email arguments).Eventually Justin discovered that a plugin I was using was messing with things in a huge way. So we (when I say "we" I mean Justin) upgraded to WP 2.2 and deleted the plugin.This seems to have worked and all that has happened in the interim is that I have dropped in ALL rankings EVERYWHERE. Oh well..It was a refreshing break not having this blog on the back of my mind constantly. The break did come at a bad time though with many things to blog about that were extremely important and obviously groundbreaking at the time. Now, they are all meaningless!!Anyways, here's to a new lease on this blogs life. I am going to get back in to this blog and make things happen. I am going to plan my blogging like I do on SA Rocks and move forward from there.
