Hey John... Unless you fixed your web site at the exact same time I did this test... you've got to remove Greymatter ASAP!

This morning many of us found your front page had gone back in time to April 13. While many folk were befuddled by this oddity, I used my superior intellect to surmise that Greymatter had overwritten your front page.

It happened this way:

1) A user, coming via a deep link on another web site, visited an old Greymatter-powered page. The user posted a comment. Greymatter then overwrote your front page to reflect the new message totals, as they existed on the last day you used Greymatter.

2) Regular WebWord users got totally confused this morning and ran around like chickens with their heads cut off. One user even reset his system clock to April 13 to alleviate the pressure building inside his brain.

3) I remained calm. I was one cool customer. I proceeded to use Google cache to identify, visit and post a new message on a Moveable Type powered page. And thus I returned everyone to present day, at least for the time being.

Yes, I saved the day. Bow and kiss my ring.

Jack, you bastard...this means I have to pay my mortgage in 2 days! I don't believe you've saved the day at all. I was very happy turning time backwards, thanks.

my favorite "portal" is still Yahoo! as it does most of the things i want it to do. it doesn't do it with my style, so maybe there is the opportunity? usability testing would reveal a few improvement options. 8^)

My portal is my list of bookmarks. They are all mine, no extras.
