I Just Hacked Brian Gardner’s Site

HA, So this guy who’s supposed to be some WordPress guru thinks he’s invincible, huh?????

I just hacked my way into his admin panel and am writing this post, and updated nicely (Perez Hilton style) his mugshot.

Some guru, can’t even keep a hacker out of his site….. what a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, off to destroy his StudioPress sites!!!!!!!!!

    if the site was really hacked the design would look more like PerezHilton!

    Should’ve changed your entire theme Brian!

    Good one.

    Here’s a funny story that just happened this morning; Apparently when I recently updated one of my blogs, still had a remnant of Brian’s code for the enews in it,.. I thought I had caught it soon enough but apparently not. I got a call from a subscriber/friend of this morning telling me my site had been hacked or something and some junk about some Brian Gardner site…

  15. Thanks for the laugh this morning!!

  22. Andover IT says:

    Mmmm quite like it if am honest. Any idea when you are going to release it and will it be part of the All-Theme Package?

  23. Jeremiah says:

    Not too bad, at least it got me here from Twitter. Lol.

  24. Lee says:

    That must have driven massive traffic. :) Impressive headliner – I almost forgot today’s date…

  25. I’m a babe in the woods with all this stuff so you really got me!! A friend recommended that I purchase one of your themes and well you can fill in the blanks from there. I LOVE your sense of humor!! By the way, this is the first time I did this!!!!

  26. Loof Lirpa says:

    Hi My name is Loof Lirpa.

  27. You’re right!!!! Oh No!!! The same thing happenned to Small Potato – Remember that guy?

  30. Mayur Somani says:

    Nice one :)

  31. Bill says:

    Oh no! I was just getting ready to purchase several of Brian’s themes, but not if his work is not secure! I cannot afford to have my sites hacked like this. I will take my business elsewhere. Sorry, Mr. gardner, but you should really learn some basic CSS security.

  32. Lyndon says:

    Wow. I nearly believed it until I saw the moustache and beard.
    Good one Brian. Ha ha ha

  33. erick says:

    Happy April!

  36. Tillman says:

    Ha Ha, ok I fell for it. I forgot what day it was since we were your all hyped for Conflicker at work. Nice :)

  37. Glenn says:

    You got me, for sure. Way to go Brian

  38. You goofball! I almost fell for it.

  39. David says:

    Is this Brian’s way of telling us that he and Small Potato might be working together in the future?

  40. I kinda like the new photo.

  41. Uncle S says:

    You think you had a bad day yesterday? I was invaded by Space Aliens.

  42. Dvorah says:

    Well, I’m glad that some of you guys got it, I went poking around trying to figure out what he was talking about.

    I got distracted by the tagline on his header about being a Starbucks Addict since 1974.

    Brian, does that mean you started drinking coffee when you were born or does all this blogging keep you looking so young?

    Thanks for all you do,
    D’vorah

  43. Nataly says:

    Lol I thought it’s so hard to hack something like that but you Brian looks like have some valuable knowledge or that was just some kind of luck? -)) anyways this is pretty funny story -) It was nice!-)

  44. Md says:

  46. Barb says:

    WOW, i fell for it. That was a good joke to play on folks. Great sense of humor. Love it!

  47. The failure of Brian to prank his readers is proof to how discerning the readers are. :)

  48. STLrealtor says:

    Wow, interesting concept, hack your own site! Hey, you did a great job on the realtors theme, I hadnt heard of you before, but now will be checking back frequently.
