I’ve recovered what I can from the old blog database and moved it up to WordPress.com. I guess if anyone can keep wordpress secure it’s these guys, so fingers crossed we’ll have more luck this time.
I noticed quite a few nasty things in old blog — it looks like some spammers had got in much earlier than the last attack and set up a load of hidden divs containing link spam in loads of the old posts. I’m thinking a monitoring service that alerts you of suspicious activity on your blog would be handy…. another one for the ideas book!
So where are we? Well the blog is back now – I’ve just got to buy some WordPress.com credits and point the DNS at this site so we have blog.britblog.com back. I guess the theme could do with a tweak, but that’s not critical.
Next I’m going to see what I can do with the BritBlog directory itself. First pass will be a read-only version of the site I should think. Not sure on the timescales for this yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
