This blog was formerly THE RILEY AND MAX BARKER BLOG. Unfortunately, that blog has disappeared. I was "self-hosting" using WordPress but after pushing a few links to "Update" WordPress, the screen went blank. I spoke to my site host (Yahoo!) and they were as usual very helpful but it was a Wordpress problem. WordPress help is nonexistent unless you call Help-feeds trolling help. So after several days of fretting I abandoned the idea of retrieving it.
