So, what the heck happened? Drive failure? Power outage? Giant hamster destroy the facility? And I can't remember if you own or lease your server, but I hope someone owes you money for the downtime.

The servers are in Dallas. They're run by Softlayer, but they're self-managed, so if something goes wrong with the hardware Softlayer fixes it (they did - the RAID card died). If something goes wrong with the software (like out of date backups) it's all on me. D'oh!

Hey Leo, something like this may be what you're looking for? (I'm attempting to paste the code as is. We'll see how that goes.) If the following code doesn't work, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts for the appropriate info. Also, I've never used it, but I came across this page explaining how to do similar with two plugins: http://tinyurl.com/4drtkc
Thanks! You can twitter me /tollie if you want to reply as to if this works or not.
Thanks Tollie. Looks right - I'll give it a try and let you know!

Works - as you can see. The only thing I changed is <?php the_content(); ?> to <?php the_excerpt(); ?>. Thanks SO much! It's nice that as I lose memory cells they're recreated in the community!
I think I can officially say that Leoville.com is done. Now to turn my attention to the TWiT Army Canteen and the contributors' forums.

Site looks good Leo. I must say I haven't been around here in months or listed to you twit's. I was in intensive care for MRSA pneumonia. It was a bit touch and go. All that I could think of.."I will never use my puter again?" quite interesting they have WIFI in the hospital even in ICU..and use of my cell phone. Quite surreal.
The site look wonderful......"I will be back!!!"

Leo your site looks great. I must say I haven't been around for months....I was in the ICU with antibiotic resistant pneumonia. Didn't think I was going to make it for a while there. I am back.... All that I worried was ..."will I ever use my puter again?"
Hospital was WiFI..quite surreal using puter and cell phone in ICU. I am back and getting stronger everyday.
Peace a

Leo...since I'm having problems getting my account started and I can't find where to post a comment about Macbreak Weekly 107 this is the next best thing I could think of. You were talking about Jailbroken iPhones and the apps. Well Intelliscreen I had to pay for a years service on it. It includes no ads and unlimited tech support for a year. So I don't know if that counts or not but not all the apps are free.

stuff happens, and sometimes it sucks, just happy you got a back up system in place now, Leoville is looking great again. I just noticed the SeV (sponsored?) add in the sidebar, maybe a good idea to put it a little higher? I never noticed it, and I sure am interested!
Keep up the good work!

leo...how did you get your shelfari to be a shelf and not a pedestal?
Did our accounts on TWiT Army get deleted? It's not liking me.

Welcome back Leo :) You're site is looking good. I like the fall background (hehe) I been having some issues with Wordpress my self, I had a plugin for TWiT that causes some massive errors in my database. I'm not sure why. But I didn't delete it and got rid of the plugin and my site seems to be working correctly again. I hope you don't mind me posting. I been trying to get out in the blogging world.
Saying Hi to you from Vermont!
