We pulled the site, backed up all the content, and wiped it clean, but didn't realize that by doing so, we would lose all our Wordpress settings, and design elements. So Colin and I will basically have to rebuild the site from the ground up. There's a morale to this sad story, kids; update your Wordpress software frequently. We hadn't in months, and the virus took advantage of a security vulnerability that was taken care of several updates back. I still heartily recommend Wordpress; God knows I wouldn't want to have a blog on Blogger right now, with how they're pulling down blogs that post MP3s willy nilly.
