Hi folks, I’m upgrading the software and customizing a new theme. If the place looks a little weird, you’ve probably caught me in the middle of it. I hope to have it done in the next few days. Thanks for stopping by! ...

Update: ok, the RSS isn’t working at all. I have a friend who is going to take a look at it for me this week. So by Friday it should be fixed. ::fingers crossed:: I am just testing my RSS with this post. ...

Ugh. Site was down for a few hours. I upgraded & had some problems. Seems to be ok now. Now I’m off to catch up on all the other things I neglected this afternoon. ...

This is not the fault of BFM, this is an ongoing Soapblox issue. Average downtime is 6.5 hours. ...

Alright this is starting to make me mad. We’re paying for an advertising campaign to send traffic to the site, and we have ads on the site. BFM is losing readers and revenue. Last time BFM was down for nearly 8 hours. I don’t know what the problem is today but hopefully it will be fixed on EDT. Maybe we could get moved to a more reliable server. ...

At 6:10am the Soapblox server that BFM is on went offline. I don’t know why this happened, but it appears that all Soapblox sites on this IP are down. Sorry about that … hopefully it will be back up before anyone even reads this. ...

As a result there may be some technical issues to work out. If you subscribed via RSS you may have to update your feedreader. (http://bloggingformichigan.com/feed). We may also lose our regular spot in the google blog alerts … &#...

It’s It was Wizard’s b-day. Yesterday. I missed it. Wizard is the best blogger when it comes to state level issues.

Just a note on a new blog, http://bloggingformichigan.com/. ...
