Private: The Great Cracked Transfer JP.com Implosion, Week Two
October 28th, 2007 Posted in Blog PostsThus ends the second weekend of me desperately trying to rebuild my site as a result of one HELL of a lot of code going bad after Cracked.com’s recent site upgrade. (I used to work with them and had my webpage on-site, meaning a lot of code that worked at the time is now retarded.)
The upshot is I’ve had to completely rebuild my site from scratch on WordPress, and with some 500-odd entries, I’m sure you can imagine how easy a transfer like that’s been.
As of now, I’d say about 75% of the site works and can be accessed from the sidebar on the right. Content that had unique coding will have to be redone manually. At a guess, this is gonna mean most of the most popular areas of the site, including Back of the Bible, Superman Comics, Batman Comics, Batman Primer, Lordo Ringfellow, Me and Fred Savage, News Skim Comics, etc etc etc.
I’ll be getting these various areas of the site online throughout November, and appreciate the patience of what few readers have even bothered to remain with the site throughout this unfortunate bullshit parade of massive code breakdown. Hopefully I’ll be able to get things shipshape over the next several weeks as time warrants (rest assured, at least, that I’m aware of what’s broken and it’s on the list); tweak the look of the existing site; and finally open up a thread in the forum for any errors I might have missed.
In the meantime, my funny wife Karla’s been spending all of her free time USING the WordPress interface instead of eating up entire weekends transfering archived content onto it, and so unlike myself actually has new updates. Read them here.
Lastly, if you’ve got any bookmarks to JP.com, to the forum or otherwise, remember that a “cracked” in the URL is the Kiss of Death for the new site. All URLs should be forwarding to plain ol’ “jaypinkerton.com.” If you’re finding otherwise, you’re using old code, sir.

The weird thing is the first thing that shows up if you google “jaypinkerton” is the new cracked blogs thing. Just odd nothing more (except if they are stealing your hits deliberately)

I’m really not getting the feeling I’m getting my money’s worth here, Mr. Pinkerton.
Also, please fix the link to the Perry Bible Fellowship. I like one-stop shopping.

So when’s this gonna be done Pinkerton?
Not at all related, but, been checking your stuff since 2003 (not in a gay way) and Karla’s stuff too (she’s not quite as prolific a writer apparently though eh?), keep it up man you’re hilarious.
BTW the old cubicle blues? I actually lifted buzzwords from them for a few business ed. assignments, unsurprisingly they still work.

Dear Jay Pinkerton,
You have a really entertaining website with many humorous thoughts and writings. Been checking your website for updates every other day or so for the past…oh few years. Havn’t been much disappointed as of yet. Question though, what happened to Cracked? If I may ask, why did you leave? That site now is mostly filled with people who think they’re funny, and having their work posted on Cracked fuels their beliefs of being funny…despite being as funny as watching a sick baby monkey confuse it’s water for paint and you have to stand there and watch it drink the whoooole thing.
Anyway, great website and keep up the funnies.

There is nothing more infuriating than website snafus. Been there. We’re working the same side of the street, trust you’ll be back soon. Maybe a Stephon Marbury moment will help:
With rumors flying that he will soon be an ex-Knick, Stephon Marbury’s groundbreaking Madison Square Garden internship program, “Romping With Starbury,” appears in peril. The program arranged for women 21-and-under to have “fun” with Marbury in the backseat of his SUV. “This is a sad day,” said the Knicks’ president and coach, Isiah Thomas.
