By the time you see this the crisis will be over, because if it wasn’t over you wouldn’t be seeing this.

We had a major server bite the dust this morning. Pro(2) is publishing (for most blogs). Publishing is off for basic and template editing is down for all. Working on getting the back-up online.
That was sometime this morning. I’m still waiting. Another reason I should get my own domain name and find a webhost, but from past experience, that is not necessarily an any more reliable way to go.
