			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a time, I had a website. It was at www.joelcreese.com (a URL that&#8217;s remarkably similar to this one). I posted all of my clips, my resume, and some writing there. It wasn&#8217;t exactly beautiful, but I liked it.</p>
<p>Then I stopped going there, and I stopped using the site. It was comforting that the site existed, but it lay fallow. Once full of life, it was a withered stalk in a frozen field.</p>
<p>Then it died. I won&#8217;t blame bluehost, the site that owns the server (or whatever). But suddenly, all of my content was simply gone. Worse, not only that, but when I called to try to rectify the problem, they had someone else&#8217;s credit card info (?) and someone else&#8217;s email address (??), so I couldn&#8217;t even get to my dashboard (Wordpress nerd talk alert!).</p>
<p>Finally, after a three-hour chat with someone from Bluehost&#8217;s support, the problem has been fixed. All of the content that was here is gone, but at least the shell is here. The seed is here. And lo, it shall grow.</p>
