 * I’m using the [Maintenance Mode](http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/maintenance-mode-plugin/)
   plugin (2.2) and when I activate it, I can’t see my site, I just see the maintenance
   mode page, even when I am logged in. I’m using WP 2.1. Is there some setting 
   I could be missing somewhere?

 * To anyone with this problem now in 2008, this plugin will hijack your site. It
   adds a ton of Meta tags in all of your WordPress files. For more information 
   on what they say, email me at abray918 at yahoo dot com. I know how to fix it.
