Map Mistakes, & Under Attack

The 'Virtual Tour' map was still in my Firefox browser, but had disappeared from Internet Explorer. (I think THE greatest frustration in web development is that different brands of browsers, and different versions of same, display pages differently. What works in one may not in another.) I found that when i'd added a link to the Joss House Association to the description of the Joss House, the quotes enclosing the link so baffled IE that it couldn't interpret the map's javascript. So i fixed it (all it took was a '\' in front of each quote). Also discovered i'd forgotten to transfer over several support files when i moved from AllThingsTrinity.us to TrinityCounty.com. Now the map looks & acts much better.

Couldn't get into the database editor; Travis at Velocity (who hopped right on it, he's a good man) reset it; he reports that an automated process had been trying to break into the FTP service. (Once inside, it could mess with the files, adding, changing, deleting.)

Why would anyone mess with TrinityCounty.com?

oh, and i improved the individual 'Site' display, e.g. Almay Ranch Resort.
