Today Is Bug Fix Day
Thanks to MimiDavis and unseelie(?) for finding and reporting two bugs to me today. Both were very serious ones, but now they're fixed.

MimiDavis' bug affected both BlogSkins and Blogger usernames and passwords. As you may or may not know, I encrypt all passwords that are stored in my database. That is done so that if anyone were to hack into this site, they would have a more difficult time stealing your passwords. Well, the encryption key that I used was 12 characters long. It turns out that if your password was more than 12 characters long, the encryption process would chop it off after 12. Stupid. So I went in, changed the key to 50 characters, and re-encrypted everyone's passwords. This is probably the reason why some of you were/are having refresh/apply/login problems. My sincere apologies and huge thanks to MimiDavis. If you suspect that your BlogSkins password has been a victim of this bug, please visit our lost password page to have your password e-mailed to you so that you can check.

The other bug was the search page. It didn't work. At all. Probably hasn't worked for a long time. I got rid of skin versions a while ago, but didn't change the search page to accomodate that. Stupid again. Now it works. Thanks.
