Warning: My portfolio site crashed right before a big submission deadline

Last Tuesday at 8pm I hit submit on my ArtStation link for a job application and got a 500 error. My whole portfolio site was down for 6 hours because some automatic plugin update broke the theme. Had to scramble at 2am to rebuild the gallery page from a backup.

@angela728 my backup turned into a full-blown gremlin once. @taylor.brooke knows the shame.

Honestly, at least you didn't accidentally delete your backup like I did once.

Oh @angela728, I've been there too and it's a special kind of panic when your backup is gone.
