Wow. This site truly is cursed. I have troubles here that I just don't have on any other sites I build. I suppose it's a combination of this being one of my earlier endeavors, as well as a guinea pig for all kinds of experiments. Oh, and I think the database's server once held a digital copy of the Nekronomicon.

Many recent nodes disappeared from the site. I have no explanation yet; I had not imported content or otherwise hacked the database, yet the nodes just aren't there.

Sorry to would-be readers who saw Site Temporarily Unavailable error id: "bad_httpd_conf" for an inderminate number of hours. "Now what?", I wailed...

Fortunately, this was easy to fix. It's not a Drupal thing (whew!), as spidersilk points out here. It's a glitch chez Dreamhost, which the ISP addresses in their support wiki. Calling up and re-setting my domain hosting settings fixed things within minutes.

Whew! It's up!

About a year ago, I wrote a Book of how-to pages as a beginner's site admin manual, which I used to get clients up and running. I've now relocated the Book here, for your edification and amusement as well. (Not a mean task; read more here.)

I've started gathering up my many Drupal questions, whether from this site, from the Drupal.org forums, or elsewhere, into a single list. I hope that this will be of use to Drupalites – especially the hapless one that needs help the most, me.

I'd like this to become true Q&A, though it's starting with lots of Q and little A. Many of my questions remained unanswered. If you can help out with those, the many blessings of the Drop-Headed One will be upon you. In any case, I have many, many questions still to input, so please check in often.
