The folks at mblog support tell me that the recent problems are all fixed. You may have noticed the sidebar on the left disappearing and reappearing, in whole or in part, seemingly at random, over the last few days. Apparently they were running short of hard drive space and have the problem fixed. I now also have the means to post my entries to two different blogs at once, so from now on I'll be posting all of my entries both here and at my old Blogger page so I have a backup in case this one goes down permanently. Frankly, I have my doubts about mblog. It's a free hosting service, but they don't put ads on the page the way blogspot does, so I can't figure out how they support themselves and keep it going. Anyway, if it ever goes down, jump back to my old page and everything should be there.
