Yahoo… We’re Back Up!!!

March 7, 2008 by Susan

We are so terribly sorry for the untimely massive crash our server had last night at 12:01AM right as we were about to publish the Ultimate Blog Party Post.

We’re still not sure exactly what went wrong… but Janice and I were both working on the post and accidently collided our updates. I tried to hit Stop on my browser and I don’t know if that corrupted something.

But what a nightmare! Literally… we were up most of the night tearing our hair out as we tried to fix it. Finally after attempting several solutions we finally are back up and running.

Thank you for your patience.

We especially want to apologize to those of you who stayed up late and were all set to link up right when the party was supposed to start. We feel terribly about it.

But I think the next best thing is for us to just put the past behind us and…

PARTY!!!

We’ll publish The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 momentarily…

We had thought that maybe we should post a new start time so that everyone has equal opportunity to get linked up at the top… BUT… after chatting more about it with our team, we think that delaying the post further will just make matters worse. So many of you already have your party posts up and are partying as I type this.

So we think the best solution is to just hurry up and publish our party post with the Mr. Linky so that those of you who are trying to hop from party to party can find your way without stumbling aimlessly throughout the blogosphere knocking on doors looking for parties.

Sound good? Let’s get our dancing shoes on… get your party post url ready to add to Mr Linky as fast as you can… and then let’s DANCE!

It is getting close…
It’s The Ultimate Blog Party 2008!

    Yes, I guess it is a Rock and Roll party now.
    A rocky start, but every one rolled once it got going! While you were down, people partied on at my blog and I partied at theirs so I guess, we all know alternative routes and shortcuts to the party line.

    Glad things worked out. I hope you get some rest.

    Uhh — second try to post this comment as I got some kind of invalidation page popping up. My other comment on the other post went through ok.
