It’s taken a few days, but I have finally rolled back the website from Wordpress 2.7. Not sure I’ll be updating to that again soon… If I do I’ll have to test it out on another domain first!…

I was trying to do a five minute upgrade to the new Wordpress 2.7 and what a disaster!…

I lost all my pages and post… However I did have an exported back-up and manage to import a lot of stuff from that, not everything mind.

Of-course I just ran the five minute upgrade just before I was due to go away for a few days, so this bodged together recovery version of the site will have to do until I get back! 

It’s been a whole 8 years since SkinMarvin.com came in to existance…

I did have a bit of a geo cities website before then, but even I can hardly remember how that looked…

The website has changed quite a lot in all that time, most recetnly with this new WordPress powered version of the site.

I’m really happy with the results and looking forward to making the site even better than ever!

…Here’s hoping for another 8 years!

I’ve been that bust working on the new-look website I didn’t even notice that my hits counter has just topped 2,000,000+.

That’s 2 million unique visitots (based on unique IP address visit per day) to the site!.

Not bad eh! Now if only I had a dollar for each one…  

I’ve moved all the discussions over from the old site to the new one.

All the discussions on the old site where closed a while ago, but as the new site is based on Blog software, all the discussions are now open again, so you can start posting again. If you do want to post you will have to register on the site with a valid email address, username and password (something secure please). All posts are past through a pretty strict spam filter before being passed to me for final approval, so don’t waste your and mine time with them spammy posts…

If you’ve got some ideas for new discussions I’ll start a new ‘Suggested’ bit in the discussions section for you to suggest stuff.
