 * Yeah. ::wry grin:: I get that about the backups. But the panic-inducing stimuli
   of a boss screaming “We’ve been hacked! The Website is down! Fix It! Fix it with
   tape! Now!” kinda harsh your Zen mellow. And restoring from backups not being
   something one is all that comfortable with… Well, yes. Not really. In any case,
   I didn’t.
 * So what happens if I do surgery on the database and remove the incrementer? (
   I don’t see any behavior resulting in duplicate slugs being worse than orphaning
   any future posts and pages.)

 * The assumption that the content wouldn’t map “correctly” is bootless, as the 
   desired behavior is the “incorrect” behavior. The intent is to allow the same
   content to map to the same slug seamlessly.
 * The site is ottoprint.com. The code is that which generates the internal link
   buttons in the header of each post (the red buttons)

 * We experienced an exploit which apparently struck against our server and wiped
   out our chart of categories, which had to be rebuilt. The only one which has 
   this added-increment is the category with the slug wbnd. The ancillary posts 
   which fall under that product thus cannot be found without the visitor to the
   site knowing the actual URL of the post desired — which might be problematic.
   Otherwise, I’ll have to hard-code those links, which becomes MOST awkward. It
   seems to me the sensible thing would be to eliminate the incrementing suffix 
   to the slug. Which is what I’m asking for assistance in doing.
 * What is happening is that, if I assign a new post to the category Wristbands,
   it is assigned the slug wbnd-2 and cannot be found by our navigational armature.
   This is a problem I would prefer to avoid.

 * I just did a word search on all the .css files in the NextGen install and the
   word “shutterset” is nowhere in there. In the nextgen-gallery.php file, there
   is a reference to shuttersettings in an array (line 348). Nothing else I could
   find.
 * However, I, too, would like to know how to style the actual image as displayed
   on the page, and not just the border. Been searching docs for some time and, 
   so far, no joy.

 * That is the detritus of an abandoned experiment. And eliminating it fixed the
   problem. Guess who won’t do THAT again. Thanks ever-so.
