The site kept freezing. I think I'll be going to a VPS sooner rather than later. I put the Comic Press ad back up right before your post, and I bet that is what did it. The site kept freezing.

Fortunately, when I hit refresh the page came back just fine. It would be just my luck to come here and congratulate you for solving the problem with your site, only to somehow tank it again for you. Or at least give the appearance. :( (I'm actually aware that simply submitting a post couldn't damage your site. But I was raised Catholic. Enough said.)

No advertising dollars, no book sales! One of the plug-ins I have had to deactivate: The Comic Press t-shirt ad. It was really eating up the cpu, and when I turn it on, the site slows to a crawl. I think we're going to have to do without it. I've tried it three times today. I kinda miss the sidebar gallery, but whatever. And how. No advertising dollars, no book sales!

I couldn't call, fax, or e-mail anyone -- and my job was to conduct surveys of area businesses! I had to sit around with my thumb up my you-know-where while watching little clocks with wings flying out the window. (Not really, but you get the idea.) I can only imagine how much worse it must be when you're the business owner and you have a major systems outage like that. Anyway, glad to see the site back up and running.
