For those of you who tried to visit my site earlier today you may have been confronted with a dreaded “connection timeout” page instead of my lovely blog.
Sorry. That really stinks.
I spent much of the morning in contact with my web host’s customer service (most of it with me on hold, interspersed with questions like “so do you know what’s wrong with it yet? is it fixed?” to which they would answer no, not yet, and we don’t know) The whole experience was very frustrating.
The good news is that it now appears to be up and running again (hooray 
) I also took the opportunity while the site was down to do a much needed upgrade to my blogging platform, so it should have fixed a few of the little bugs that have been plaguing me for the last few months. I have gotten emails that my comments were not working, but they should be good to go now. Please let me know if you have trouble leaving me a comment, I love to hear when things are screwy so I can fix them!
And the last little piece of business.. I’m not sure what happened to any emails that I received today while my server was in internet limbo and not available, so if you sent me a message earlier today PLEASE don’t be upset if it bounced or you did not get a reply. I’d really appreciate if you could resend.
Thanks for your patience with the site maintenance, now back to our regularly scheduled programming
