a) i fixed the blog. as stAllio correctly pointed out, sensory research's server upgrade changed the directory where public files are stored, thus rendering blogger confused. so, mcdeviltoast, if you wondered, that's what the deal was, and (as you can see) it's fixed.

b) the reason i didnt notice was that my power supply on my home PC died. ugh. no internet all weekend is killing me. i have to go get it replaced.
