Oh My God……

It appears the cash was too sweet to pass up.

Meow. What are we, in high school?

It looks like the lady used an ill-considered template when she built her blog; this kind of thing happens.

I've got no dog in whatever y'all have going on, save that Julie said some nice things about a company that I work for.

Ill conceived blog template? Give me a friggin break. If you're "good" enough to sell your network to Sugar Inc, you should know better. No one just insterted the code into a template she unwittingly used. That scenario is more preposterous than the plot of a Scooby Doo episode.

@bdunbar: Actually, since Almost Girl uses a pretty standard default template, there wouldn't be any hidden "porn" coding included in there. It would've been added after that the fact…

The template is one of the most common default WordPress Templates out there and it is easy to edit. I also have a hard time believing that a woman who ran a blog network would not know how to sell and insert links such as those. At the very least, she would notice them because the google ads pick up on them. So either she put them there, or she is incompetent at blogging and other computer related activities. Neither is good.

Wow, so Julie's saying that she PAID someone to put up her blog when she could have done it herself for free? I'll say that's pretty incompetent.

I’ll say that’s pretty incompetent.

So you wire your own house, do your own plumbing, do all of your own car repair and never eat a meal in a restaurant?

You're awesome, then. However, if you have ever hired someone to do something for you that is otherwise trivial, like cooking a meal, you're a hypocrite.

Which isn't a big vice in my book, but since y'all are being all high school perhaps you might think so.

Doing a WP install is easy. But the hour spent can also be put to productive use doing something else.

If she has the cash and wants it hired out it's not evidence of an incompetent, just an economic choice.

Well then I guess she just gave us all a reason to do things like that ourselves… the person she hired spit into her food.

the person she hired spit into her food.

Supposedly that happens a lot more than people think. Or than they want to think.

Me, I'm always nice to wait staff.

Thanks to a good friend for the tip off on this (giving me a good chuckle during Fashion Week). Julie did not "unknowingly" insert this into her blog. Anyone who knows her, knows that she is sleeping with a seriously adept web master.

With all the stupid plans I've heard her spin over the years with how she planned to monetize Coutourture, I'm sure those two resorted to this before they started making legitimate money by fooling PopSugar into thinking that they had a legitimate property to sell.

What kills me is that after all the time that Julie's spent trying to "earn bloggers some legitimacy" (and making money off their backs) this week she slammed the bloggers who have been covering Fashion Week in the tents. It's obvious that Lil' Miss Midwest is pissed that she's not the only one with access now. You can say "meow!" but it was that post that led all of us to discover this source code.

Read said post about how Julie is "bored" now that bloggers other than her have access here: http://almostgirl.coffeespoons.org/?p=1232

Payback's a bitch Julie!

I don't know her - perhaps that gives me some perspective.

Your logic is faulty, but typical of an industry like yours. Y'all don't make anything useful to anyone, nothing you do lasts, your industry is of passing interest to only a small fraction of people in the world.

It reminds me of the saw about church politics - they're so petty and hateful because the stakes are so small.

She took the links out of her source code for awhile there, but they are back in. She's shifted them down to the "footer" section. I guess in hopes of hiding them further?

Too funny.

Oh, and bdunbar: If you consider the above logic being faulty, then what industry are you in? There are hardly any industries these days that are truly necessary to our survival. And do you really know what industries ANY of these commenters work in? I don't believe anyone posted their resumes. You are ASSuming that people are in fashion, when in reality, Julie is in Fashion. The rest may very well not be.
Just my 2 cents.
