OMFG! A Swear Ring and Swearing Update

by

Great news! The new swear-ring styles that I pre-sold on Kickstarter have come in sooner than expected. I will be sending them out this weekend.

I already got one OMG set out to gorgeous blogger Solo Lisa. The rings came in handy when Lisa wanted to express her love for particularly delicious ramen.

Click Lisa to read her blog post.

Lisa already has a set of the original swear rings.

This means Lisa can mix and match her rings to create an OMFG set. I look forward to getting a picture of that.

I had my own OMFG moment earlier today. Yesterday, I discovered that my soon-to-be-ex-hosting-company, GoDaddy, suffered its THIRD hack attack in a matter of months. I thought my site was clear … and then I saw that the name of my necklace category had been changed in the side navigation.

Look at the first item under Categories.

What the fuck is this fucking fuckery! I’m annoyed. I’ve been threatening to change hosts forever but I’ve been too damn lazy. Now I’m motivated. HostGator, here I come. Until that’s done, y’all should let me know if you find any strangely hostile navigation on my site. I love swearing, but there are limits!

  1. GoDaddy sucks, it’s true, but that’s also kind of hilarious.

    People may have thought it was a saucy new marketing scheme of yours.

  3. It’s strange they only changed that ONE category. But maybe it’s a testament to your jewelry awesomeness that the hackers found them so amazing, they left them alone.

  4. Oh dear! what happened when you clicked on it?!

    My bf had a similar thing happen with his website being hacked through go daddy, I showed him your prior post to kind of work through it

  8. My anti-spam word may be “dontrun,” but I’ll be right behind you in this case, madame. Luckily… so far… I haven’t had that happen to me. That said, if there’s a reason why GD isn’t on WordPress.org’s list of preferred providers, this might be such an example.

    In the meantime, hide yo’ kidz, hide yo’ wives, hide yo’ huzbandz and hide yo’ blogs ‘cuz they be hackin’ e’erbody out there!

  11. That hacking biz, that they changed it to fuck off, is quite hilarious albeit extremely annoying. I do sympathise as I had my shit hacked a couple of months ago and there was nothing I could do but wait it out. It pretty much de-railed any blogging activity for ages and even when it all came good, I had lost the impetus. Meh.
    On a jolly note, I cannot wait to receive my OMG rings. So very excited to have new jewels.

  12. Ha love the opening photo! Goes perfectly with your ring!

    It sucks when ones host gets hacked! I hope changing hosts goes ok.

    Happy friday hun!

  14. Definitely time to change hosts if this happens more than once.

    Swear rings = cool

    Hackers changing site navigation to swearing = not cool

  17. Hey there Wendy! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I am loving you funny writing style and I’m now a follower.

    Have a great weekend!

  19. Yikes! Sorry to hear about your host issues. One of my coworkers uses HostGator I think; she’s had only good experiences with them.

    P.S. Thanks for the blog shout-out. 🙂

  20. fuckery is the best delineation of fuck!!

    I wish I could publish some of my poetic fuckery so i could afford an OMFG!!!!!!!!!!

  22. So much better than a plain old knuckleduster!

    Mixed with your Marie Antoinette ring – I wouldn’t mind donning something like that on my hand too!

    xx F.M.

  23. OMFG is right!! Thankfully that seems to be the only thing they changed. Might want to check Google Webmaster and make sure your keywords weren’t messed with. xx
