wow. so much shit can happen in a day or two. switched my original site to SSL – and in doing so my website magically disappeared – and no help received from the providers. the original was not backed up (of course) – so I had to begin again. Decided to just take the extra step and secure my own domain (theactualrealjason.com). This has automatic SSL and it’s free. So TL;DR – started over and am currently rebuilding my templates.
