Today, during my lunch break at work, I thought I would tweak a few things on the site. I edited the style sheets from the editor, hit save and my entire design got destroyed. Somehow I had managed to replace my main site styles with my print stylesheet (do a print preview and you will see how it looks).
The silly thing is I noticed the styles weren't identical when I was editing them, but I didn't think to check. If I had spent one minute working things out then I could have saved a whole load of problems. As it was Binary Moon had the wrong style on it for about 6 hours, before I got home to return things to normal.
So, the lesson for today is - double check things, in particular when something seems out of place.

Ugh, that sounds like a nightmare!
I shudder to remember the countless number of silly mistakes such as this that I have been the perpatrator of.
It wasn't a big problem. I had a recent version locally at home - it was just annoying that I would do something so silly. I am normally quite careful with this sort of thing.
