Site was hacked

Hi folks,
Sorry if any of your comments have disappeared or if you have had problems with the site today. Some crud decided it would be fun to trash the site. Anyway, I had to have my host restore from a backup and I lost (at least) yesterday and today's work. I have republished today's article, but if you had comments they are gone.

In the process, I have learned some new things about securing the site, so I guess that is a good thing. However, I could have done without the stress and time consumption.

I apologize for any inconvenience you may have had.
