Blog*Spot maintenance is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24 from 4:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Pacific time (7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Eastern). Sincere apologies for any inconvenience this causes. The load on the Blog*Spot servers has been growing at an unexpectedly increasing rate over the last few weeks, and today we saw the most stress yet. The work tomorrow should improve the performance of the Blog*Spot file server, and this should help overall performance, pending the addition of more web servers.
