A couple days go by, and I feel like a should add a thought to my comment above, which I made while extremely annoyed...

No matter where I host my blog, downtime is a reality. I was being pissy because I'd spent the whole day waiting for things to go back online. Right now del.icio.us is down. Tomorrow it'll be someone else. I could re-code everything in wordpress and host it on any server I choose, but that's not actually any guarantee that there won't be downtime there at some point.

So yeah, Hugh's right, shit happens. Of course, *his blog* was up when he said that! ;-)

I think it's a storm in a teacup. Shit happens. By this time next week everyone will have forgotten about it.

btw I think your suit gets shipped this week. I just got mine (navy blue 3-piece with bright blue f-you pinstripes)...

Whaddya think of the shirt idea?

I tried about 6 different blog platforms on my way to TypePad... and on the whole, I've been very happy with the level of control I get with my pro account. Not to say that there aren't features I'd love to have which either don't exist there yet, or have to be hacked into the code by hand.

But this is pretty upsetting. Enough so that I will think about transitioning somewhere else when my subscription is up. I hate the idea of recoding everything from the ground up, but, still. The downtime is a very bad thing.
