What happened to the Italy stuff?

Published by Kim at 7:02 pm under Travel

A few months back one of my first attempts at blogging, a travel blog for a trip to Italy, was hacked. It seemed there was a bit of a security hole in the software we used for that blog – it wasn’t the same setup we use now. Someone crawled in through and started sending phishing messages for banking passwords. Buggers…

Naturally, to stop the spam, our hosting provider chopped the whole kimgoodyear.com site immediately. The shortest route to getting back online was to sacrifice the travel blog along with all the purdy Italy pictures. No contest there… the blog was gone within minutes of us learning of the problem.

Don’t get me wrong, our host did the proper thing – it was totally our fault for having software installed on the server that posed a security risk. But it was also sorta sad – there was a lot of nice pictures in there, and nice commentary – all gone forever. In truth, the whole thing was a combined effort of myself and the guy that would become my one and only web minion and personal whipping post, Randy. We took turns adding entries, and in retrospect, he dragged me (sometimes kicking and screaming) into the world of the Internet and online exposure.

So, for a litany of reasons (to celebrate the upcoming one year anniversary of this blog / because we are in the slow season for this wedding photographer / because these blog posts are approaching pathetic) starting this Monday we’ve decided to re-live the trip, day-by-day, right here in the new blog. The Category (right under the post title above) for these re-posts will be “Travel”.

It was exactly 19 months back from the 19th of this month (on September 19, 2005) that it all started. We’ll post on the same day of the month that we did back then, complete with pictures, and perhaps with a new bit of self mocking, just so no-one else feels the need to do it.
