“Pinky Carruthuers. Blue-Blaze Irregular.”

I apologize, but it’s been a long time since I created this blog - long enough that I’ve forgotten who y’all are. If you came over from LJ, Welcome! and I’ve already added you to appropriate viewing groups based on your username. But if you created a user name that’s not obviously linked to an LJ name or some other name I’m familiar with, then I apologize, but I have definitely forgotten who you are.

So if you’d like to enjoy privileges you’ve already earned (by being such a good buddy!), then please let me know who you are on this blog so I can make sure you see all appropriate posts.

Feel free to let me know here in comments or in e-mail at malcolm.gin@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Basically, I installed the wrong version of a security plugin (Role Manager, Owen Winkler - only for WP 2.0) on the wrong version of WordPress (2.5.1) and got my own Admin account locked out of Plugin Management (which I needed to properly uninstall the bad plugin and install the good one). Read further to know the sequence of events, the problem I caused myself, and how I got out of it.
