Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! We’re Fixed!

We started another week of Consumerist blogging with a heavy heart; we were sure we were looking at a third week pregnant with the ongoing technical difficulties that we've come to expect from a thoroughly borked Movable Type install, miscarrying a slurry of errors for us every time we lightly pressed upon its belly to make a post.

We started another week of Consumerist blogging with a heavy heart; we were sure we were looking at a third week pregnant with the ongoing technical difficulties that we’ve come to expect from a thoroughly borked Movable Type install, miscarrying a slurry of errors for us every time we lightly pressed upon its belly to make a post.

In fact, we were so sure that the site continued to be hosed that we were five posts in before we realized that the Gawker tech shamans have apparently spent the weekend curing many of The Consumerist’s woes.

Here’s what’s fixed right now, as far as we can tell:

1) Comment links are working!
2) Read more links are working!
3) RSS feed is working!
4) Tag links are working!

In fact, as far as we can tell, all the problems that have tormented you, Joe or Jane Consumerist, over the past couple weeks have healed themselves.

If there’s anything you can see that is still broken, send us an email and we’ll pass it on to the tech team and try to come up with a work around. Not to jinx it, but as far as we can tell, it’s business as usual.

Thank Christ… also, his disciples on Earth in the Gawker Tech Team!
