So, under the strain of some big links that brought as much traffic to this blog in one day as it normally receives in a week, the server crashed. I think that a link from The Corner, of all places, sent it over the edge.

Yes, the The Corner broke my blog; and to my amazement, they weren’t even criticizing me at the time.

It was a crazy couple of hours — it’s extremely frustrating to know that thousands of people are coming to your site and getting “Site Not Found” errors. I contacted my server administrator, only to be told that this was “the worst possible moment” for a crash — he was right in the middle of moving out of his Brooklyn apartment. But he graciously stopped what he was doing and began to remedy the situation.

Things are calmer now, so I’ll return the sidebar to its former glory as quickly as possible.

My day, as hectic as it seemed, was nothing compared to what Shakespeare’s Sister experienced this morning. Please help her out if you can — she is one of our brightest lights.
