server woops

[Betsy]

If anyone got themselves knocked off line before with a server error, sorry. I was trying to get rid of an ill-behaved spider and in the process, crashed the site. But hey, the spider is gone!

Hammers can be very effective sometimes, as long as you don't use it to put in a misplaced carriage return...hmmmmpphhh :smash: :pat:

Ding-dong the spider's dead, the spider's dead; ding-dong the wicked spider's dead! :happydanc

(to the tune of the song from The Wizard of Oz)

Thanks to the Wizard of BLO (Betsy) :magic-2:
