"Congratulations! An email to reset your password has been sent to the e-mail address you've provided." I'm not sure that's worth of a "Congratulations!" but thanks, I did forget my password.... again.
Now which email did that go to? - Blake

If you're a WordPress user make sure you don't have a username "admin" or "administrator" or something common like that. There's a big botnet doing bruteforce attacks against WP sites using common names and passwords. They are scanning ALL WP sites, even yours. YES YOU
All fiximimcated! For some reason our admin account was a guest account. Probably because we can't change usernames & I made a new one for me when we got all set up. We just deleted the damn thing. - Jezmynne Dene
Thanks, Betsy! Blake, ignore my email. - laura x from BuddyFeed
You're welcome. I had to look it up, too. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Did this a while ago, but a good reminder nonetheless. - Catherine Pellegrino
Done. - Jenica
Done, done, done, and done. And done. (I use a lot of WP installs...) - Chris Z.
And an additional recommendation from my web host: http://support.hostgator.com/article... - Mark H
OKAY. - Marie
Carp. I have to wait until Monday to check one. :( - LB: #TeamMonique
All done! - Hedgehog
Done. Thanks! - Mike Nencetti
It will not let me do the fix. - laura x from BuddyFeed
Laura, this is how I did it on my 3 installs: logged in as admin, created a second admin account, logged out, checked the new admin login, deleted the old admin account (I was prompted to attribute the posts authored by that admin account to another account and I chose the new admin account), logged out and checked that the blog had survived. - Stephen le Francoeur
I did the same, TNSF - Mike Nencetti from iPhone
Historic Burrito Summit Underscores Genius of Chipotle, Deliciousness of La Taqueria: http://www.slate.com/blogs...
Ignore everything except: "Chipotle is offering a better burrito-based business proposition. Chipotle has better-designed spaces, with greater menu visibility and superior clarity as to what your options are. Chipotle's lines move substantially faster. " - Blake
"...Chipotle brings us exactly what innovators have always brought us... the very best product in the world." - Blake
But how would they handle a soul food chain? - Chris Z.
http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips... Warning: the Chipotle joke in this clip is in VERY poor taste... - LibrarianOnTheLoose
Really? To that writer, a chain is automatically better than a local restaurant, even if the food is better at the local restaurant? (Yes, I read the whole article. Therefore, McDonald's is automatically better than your best local burger place--because they can mass-produce them all the same everywhere. Geez.) - Walt Crawford
Oh, and Blake? Very clever, leaving off the "not" before "the very best product." You should work for movie studios, editing reviewer's comments... Gotta admit, when I go out to lunch, I'll take great local food over good "business propositions" any day of the week. - Walt Crawford
I thought the writer was looking at it from a economic standpoint? Anyhow, Walt I think your localvore taste is well established. This article is intended for people who aren't from the land of the true burrito. - kendrak
Kendra: Not the way I read it. He's saying that mass production/scalability is better even if the product's not as good. That "food business proposition" beats food. Think I'll go to Pizza Hut next time I'm in Chicago...or just call Domino's. I believe local businesses are good for community health (fiscal & otherwise) in general--not just restaurants. Especially if they offer better products. - Walt Crawford
You're both wrong, as you can see what he said was "...Chipotle brings us... the very best product in the world." But we already knew that :-) - Blake
Walt, you may be many things... but I'd never consider you to be "the masses", which is what Chipotle, Pizza Hut and most major chains are targeting. A blessing and a curse of the Bay Area Bubble. - kendrak
Kendra: I don't think it has a lot to do with the Bay Area. Angelenos would scoff at the idea that Chipotle was better than their local tacquerias; so would, I'd guess, people in San Antonio and lots of other places. I don't have especially elevated tastes--I'm a gourmand, not a gourmet--but I do prefer local to homogenized. - Walt Crawford
Actually, the comments on the article seem to suggest that towns all over the country have good local burrito-makers (and probably good local pizzerias). (As for Bay Area: I read Michael Bauer's restaurant reviews, and 90% of the time I say "not a place I'd want to eat"--usually because too $$$ or too Foodie.) - Walt Crawford
High five to the guy that came up with the best headline I read today: "Can Wall Street Manage Wealthy Women?" I'm hoping the subtitle was "And how can we get them back into the kitchen"
The default answer to news story headlines is "No" :-p - Hedgehog
Best spam ever... "Dear Blake, I thought your readers and fans might be interested in this week’s exciting announcement from" ... That's great news, I have fans! Is there a club? I'd be willing to speak live at any meetings you might be holding.

What city is this in? Anyone have a coupon code for the registration? The $1,675 is kinda steep. - Yo Joe. No, go slow.
Oh, it's totally with it at that price. Practically a bargain. I still need to figure out my costume. Ooh, I'll be a spammer! - ellbeecee
We can all agree that the car going through the window was 100%, completely, unequivocally the fault of Ferris Bueller and NONE of the blame should rest on Cameron, right?
RIGHT - kendrak
At the time of filming, the original 250 GT California model was worth $350,000.[5] Since the release of the film, it has become one of the most expensive cars ever sold, going at auction in 2008 for $10,976,000 - Blake
So really John Hughes is to blame. - kendrak
You know about the theory that the Ferris Bueller character doesn't really exist, and the events of the movie are all just part of a fever dream of Cameron's? That Ferris Bueller is his alter-ego, essentially http://metatalk.metafilter.com/17671... - Meg V. Meg
Heh. Ferris Bueller is Tyler Durden. - Victor Ganata
Researchers studying facebook Likes concluded that “the best predictors of high intelligence include people who like ‘Thunderstorms,’ ‘The Colbert Report,’ ‘Science,’ and ‘Curly Fries,’ whereas low intelligence was indicated by Liking ‘Sephora,’ ‘I Love Being A Mom,’ ‘Harley Davidson,’ and ‘Lady Antebellum.’
OMG I LOVE CURLY FRIES - Blake
I would have thought one predictor of high intelligence was staying the hell away from Likes and other insidious Facebook thingies. But that wouldn't research well. - Walt Crawford
Everyone who likes this post is also very intelligent. - Blake
How about liking "I fucking love science" which is one of my faves? - John Dupuis
But I like my neighbor's dog, Harley Davidson. :-) - Betsy #TeamMonique
I should name my next dog curly science fries. - Yo Joe. No, go slow.

Hoping ALA council will draft a resolution on that Oreos commercial #librariannightmares
Yeah, no Oreos in the library. - Mary Carmen
If that is your answer MC then I say Good day! - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Unless they give the oreos to the librarians - Katy S
No, its not...but you know how those ALA resolutions go. - Mary Carmen
I SAID GOOD DAY! - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
so you're not supposed to give them cookies? shit. this is why i don't work public services. - jambina
I worked in public services and got food from patrons, including home baked cookies that I tossed right in the garbage. Have you smelled some of those people? Oreos, provided the seals were still intact would be better, though... - WebGoddess
We had a couple of elderly patrons who brought cakes (from a local bakery) for the whole staff once a year. - Betsy #TeamMonique
I'll see what I can do ;) - ~Courtney F
I've received - and appreciated - sealed and store-wrapped chocolates from the public, but the people who tended to bring us "home made" stuff were those we were least likely to trust in the cleanliness of their kitchen. - WebGoddess

Do they have Action? It didn't run for long, so it'd be easy to watch the whole thing and move on to something else... - Chris Z.
Workaholics is my fave. - Rochelle's favorite Royce
Black Books. You might have been Bernard in another life, I bet. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
