Did you notice that “5 Minutes for Mom” crashed massively tonight?
Ugh… We’ve been down all evening… I’ve been going nuts!
Our home page was the only page that would show. Every other page gave a 404 error message.
Needless to say I have had a very frustrating night. I am literally drowning in work, and just as I was starting on my pile of backlogged blog listings, WordPress decided to screw up our site. Completely.
I still do not know what happened and nor does our hosting company, but I hit save on our crafting blogs page and suddenly no page in our site would appear. Go figure!
We were forced to restore our entire site from backup. Thankfully our hosting company had a backup from the day before.
So, please forgive us that all the comments from today were lost. (I republished the last post because that was lost too.)
And on top of that, my email went down. It turns out I just ran out of disk space, but since I didn’t know if the problem was related or not, I didn’t realize it. Woops. I’m going to go clear out some mail from my server now.
So, if you tried to email us this evening, please resend your email tomorrow and hopefully it’ll be working by then.
And for those of you patiently waiting for your blog and site listings to appear, please bear with me. I will try very hard to get caught up in the next couple of days.
Thank you all for your patience!
