As suspected, my web host says that the problem is with my gallery software, and that I will have to take it up with the Coppermine folks. IDTS. The problem is a database corruption issue, which the Coppermine folks can do fuck all about. So my brain nearly implodiated, and then I cried. I don’t know why I was surprised, because I was expecting my web host to give me the brush off. I should have been prepared for it.
Anyway, there is no way in hell that I’m going to be able to unsnarl the mess, so I think what I’m going to do is try to point everything at Flickr. Of course, that makes me want to cry, too. I got a hundred posts done, which leaves 1062 to go. I think it may take me awhile!
On the bright–but no less frustrating–side, this means that I don’t have to try to keep any sort of unified theme going between Coppermine and WordPress. I spent some time weeding out my existing theme templates, and I uploaded a few new ones that look promising. The one I settled on seems to be pretty stable, though, of course, it doesn’t behave properly in IE. Instead of two sidebars, y’all will see just one. Be thankful that it’s not in the middle of the page, because at this point, I’m so fed up that I just don’t care.
I like the basic look of this template, but I can’t stand the weird line spacing after image files, so I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it.
