(This is a continuation of my 5 part post  20. I Wanted to Make My Own Mistakes, Until I realized that It Was Much Easier to Let Others Screw Up. )
After erasing my blog and completing the process of shock, hysterical laughter, and panic, I called my friend and Technical Wizard Jason Spiro. To say the least Jason is brilliant, if he can’t figure it out himself he knows where to take you to solve the problem. In my case he had a few suggestions, but ultimately the route he took me, was something called IRC , which is basically a real time chat room for group conversations. Jason then had me download an interface called X-Chat, which aids you in accessing the IRC. After loading up the programme, putting in my user name, and selecting the “freenode” channel, it asked me to choose my group Jason had me type in #wordpress (you always need the pound sign). Suddenly I’m in a chat room with 182 WordPress Techies. I asked my question, and a user by the name of “Meller Time”, who after kindly reprimanding me for not backing up my files, helped me to begin piecing back together my blog.
The IRC and its Technical Wizards are a great resource for solving many of your tech problems.
Here is the super tip that Meller time gave me.
