   Also: my word counts over there are not updated. I’ve been getting some writing done, just not any updating.

   Never mind. They fixed themselves.

   Assuming the “they” that fixed themselves are the word counts and not the forums:

   Seems like your forum admin account should be your blog admin account. If you don’t have access to that then resetting it is possible if you have access to the site’s files or database.

      I’m a lot like the people in Silo 1. I’m in charge of all this, it somehow holds together and keeps trudging forward in a semi-operational manner, but I have no frickin’ clue how any of it works. I can’t even remember how I set this site up, installed it on a server somewhere, paid for hosting, any of that stuff. The database hasn’t been backed up in years. It’s all a mystery to me. And yet: I’m in charge.

      There’s a metaphor in here for something.

   Ah, well, I do this web stuff for a living. I guess that puts me in mechanical. I am familiar with the blog software you are using and can work out where it is being hosted. Feel free to email with questions (you should be able to see my address from your side).
