This morning HostGator has made everyone change their passwords to a strong password. This is no big deal until you go to access anything that uses your mysql database. Just a heads up, this can royally screw your blog access. Being the administrator for more than half a dozen blogs and bbs hosted on HostGator. To fix this problem you can do one of two things, but only one of them will probably get done today.

1) Cry to support for a fix.

2) Download your wp-congig.php manually change the password

To your new one then upload it overwriting the old file.

Have fun and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day

I know what you are thinking Blog College… WTF! I decided what was really lacking was a bulletin board forum for bloggers. Almost any subject you could want to talk about has its own bulletin boards, usually several. However I have never heard of one for bloggers, much less been directed towards one by pushy bloggers trying to sell their crap. In the absence of anything else I have put together my first ever bbs. You can find the Blog College at http://bradtheblogboy.com/forum/
