Apologies. Something really weird happened and I had to reinstall WordPress. Not sure but I think that means any links from Google, and even your user passwords might have been broken. Fortunately there's a sweet Export function, so I was able to keep our posts anyway.
I'm still working on getting things back to normal
Thanks for all the recent posts.

My Google Reader feeds were disconnected and I had to delete the old ones and re-subscribe. The problem was that I had installed the blog into the top level directory. So when I updated to the newer version, the updater automatically built a new top level directory that I believe was causing problems. The new install puts WordPress into a separate folder called blog. That made big problems with the old database, which I don't know squat about- how to reconnect a database (note to self: read book about php and MySql.)
