Doing the happy dance!!
Thanks to my dear friend, Mariana, whom I’ve only known for a short time but who is dear to my heart has took (almost) a full day (I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of you for doing this) to fix a MAJOR problem on my site for me.
Apparently, my site was hacked because I never updated my WordPress account (don’t ever let this happen people!) and my password was the same for 2 years (a huge no-no!). It also messed up my Feedburner email updates so no one was getting my blog updates. It was insane!
I felt insane.
After asking numerous times on Twitter if anyone knew how to fix a feedburner problem, numerous phone calls to Godaddy (which were no help at all!) and many hours on the internet trying to find a solution (which I could not find anywhere, including Google), she did it all in about 6 hours.
She actually took time away from her life to help a blogger in need – Now that’s what I call a friend. Thanks girl!! You’re the best! I owe you big time!
I would’ve NEVER gotten this to work out without her help. I really thought it was the end for New York Chica. I lost all hope and was not motivated at all.
So thanks again Mariana! This post is for you! 🙂

Aww, thanks for this sweet post! I know how long you had been dealing with this problem (3 weeks!!!) and that is a LONG time. I take every obstacle as a learning experience… this may happen to me one day and I’d like to know how to fix the problem, you know? I’m so glad I was able to help and hope everything is back to normal! (((Hugs)))
Yay!!
The blogging community is one of the most supportive out there and most willing to lend a hand! Glad that you are up and running again. I went through some feedburner issues myself recently and I know how hard it is to work around!
I can’t believe you got hacked. That really sucks. I wonder why people do that. And Mariana rocks. She is such a wonderful lady!!
