Woke up this morning, fired up the trusty ol’ web browser, and stared in panic at my blogroll.

Every damned link pointed to some conniving bint called Laura whose blog I won’t link to. This fine, upstanding trollop apparently had her hacker boyfriend go into Blogrolling.com and change everyone’s ‘roll so that every link pointed to her website. As of 8am the News page at Blogrolling.com had nothing about this, so I sent off a support email… and turned off my ‘roll, as well as Wendi’s.

I’m debating turning it back on again, and will do so only if my list can be restored, not if I have to rebuild it from scratch. Even then I may decide to go back to a hand-built link list. It’ll decrease the load time and increase the security, two very good things. It’ll suck, though, not to have recently updated sites marked accordingly. Oh well. Small price to pay, eh?

UPDATE: It’s fixed, and while I still intend to convert over to a self-hosted link list I probably won’t do so right away (too much on my plate right now!). I should take the time to mention that for a free service, Blogrolling is one helluva nifty deal. Just for the record.
