As you may have noticed, our most recent WordPress upgrade has not gone as planned. We have this gorgeous new design (which we hope you’re seeing right now) and a glitch in WordPress continually reverts the site back to the boring and unattractive default design. After trying everything the pros have suggested and more (forced database upgrade, revert to backup and re-do the upgrade, etc. etc. etc…), we’re back to the drawing board and may have to start the site from scratch in order to stabilize it. (Though if you’re a wordpress pro who knows php coding, please email or leave a comment if you’d be willing to help us save this one!)

Rest assured we have backed everything up multiple times, and if it appears that some contests/comments are gone, they are not. We have all of your comments saved and will be able to draw contest winners as usual. We’ll do our best to reinstate everything but it may take a while and we’re not positive that the comments will come back in a way that’s visible to our readers.

Thanks for sticking with us through this – we’re glad to see our traffic hasn’t dropped off at all. We’ll continue to bring you the daily goods & giveaways as we stumble through design-land blindly!
