Sorry. The webmaster of Brokencountry.com knocked the site off the the servers. I was trying to adjust the time of the site. What this means is the time that an article is posted to the site is not accurate. This causes two problems. First and most important, it is not accurately reporting the time of the post to Google. This causes the site to be improperly indexed by Google.

Second, it makes it nearly impossible to break any news. Lets say I’m in Hollywood doing some shopping. I see Tiger Woods getting out of a car with a hooker and snap a picture. I immediately blog it, but it happened at 11 am and my site puts the post time at 6 pm. Well every other news site and blog sees the picture and the story, post it themselves, and Google automatically sends the traffic to their site because my site put up the wrong time. Get it? Good.

So I start doing the research as to why the time is not showing up correctly. I have the UTC time offset correct. I have the correct server time. But still the site time is wrong. I found this WordPress site that said that it may be a problem with my “permalinks” string and the way it was working with the web server.

So being the rocket surgeon that I am, I decided to try to fix it. Bang, down goes the site. I am a moron when it comes to these things and it was my own stupidity that caused the problem. My humblest apologies to all of my loyal minions that frequent the brokencountry. JD
