  • What Not To Do On A Tuesday Night

    Posted on July 17th, 2007 Lewis 4 comments

    After a brief heart attack this evening Lewis Empire is back up and running. I was trying to figure out a problem with my comments and spent a little time surfing the web for an answer. The problem was that whenever someone posted a comment they received a blank screen. Jarle at The Personal Development Blog even sent me a quick email last week about the problem (Thanks Jarle!)

    Some of the things I read online told me that I should change the domain name in my WordPress admin - Options section. Is it because I’ve been working so hard on my patio that my mind shut off? Maybe, but I decided to delete the domain name and press update anyways. If you’ve never done this before I would not suggest doing it. You will be greeted by a beautiful WordPress screen that says,

    It appears that this Blog does not exist, please click here to start a new blog

    I immediately tried using my FTP account to upload a previously backed-up copy of my options-general.php file. No luck. Then I tried hitting BACK on my browser (which showed me the original screen) added the URI back and hit update…I got the same message!

    All did not end up so badly. I simply resigned to the fact that I was dead-in-the-water and that all the great comments I’ve received (not to mention the posts) were gone. I pressed OK, entered my domain name again and moved on. All of a sudden, Lewis Empire reappeared and all posts and comments were back! With some minor adjustments - like removing the extra About page and duplicated Uncategorized category - everything was back to normal (even my heart rate.) Also, the blank comment redirect screen is now also gone so apparently I fixed the problem.

    For a blogger, thinking you just lost your entire blog can be devastating. I hope this post can spare even one person the terror of my evening.

    On a lighter note, here are some other things I can think of that should never be done on a Tuesday night:

    • Watch Mortal Combat II the movie
    • Eat Sushi you just bought at a convenient store
    • Hammer your thumb with a rubber mallet
    • Lock your keys in the car in the middle of nowhere
    • Not drink enough water when digging (that’s digging dirt) in 100 degree weather
    • Put your sunglasses in your pocket and sit down
    • Eat an entire thing of cotton candy (is there a name for the paper roller?)
    • Find out your backyard project will cost about 75% more than you originally estimated
    • Have a nap in your bed and forget about a pocket full of sand

    Actually, these items should probably never be done on any night. Also, in case you were wondering, yes I did just summarize my week! Don’t worry, the good and great far outweighed the above list of bad…

    1. You should also never play softball when it’s over 30 degrees and the humidity is at 100%. Talk about Heart Attack.

      Thanks for the info on the domain name though, I’ll be sure not to do that.

    2. Hey Lewis, you missed something. Something big enough..

      What about having sex with your partner on Tuesday night? It might be the better solution for everyone… hahaha… just kidding…

    3. [...] The Learning curve for blogging and driving traffic to your site is steep (especially when you have Wordpress issues) but I think I’ve got a great handle on it now. What I didn’t realize was the amazing [...]
