I’m adding the plugins for our site. Podcasting. Amazon. Oh, and yes, the stereotypical Digg/Del.ico.us/etc. links. Speaking of Amazon, I’m supposed to be getting a review copy of Ready 2 Rumble Revolution for the Wii.

During my conversations about the domain problem, I mentioned to Powweb how a spammer had taken over my blog and I’d have to wipe out the MySQL database. Which I did on Saturday, and then I had configured this site and was doing testing all Sunday. I was getting ready to import my thousands of…
