Blog Problems

I'm sure some of you have noticed the difficulty lately with comments or entries being double posted, or with it sometimes showing that you can't leave comments. There are times when the cgi files needed to execute posting comments or entries are not reachable over the last few days. I've talked to my domain hosting company and they say they are doing updates on the server that my domain is hosted on, but they hope to have it finished soon. In the meantime, if you go to post a comment and it just seems to hang there and doesn't connect, don't bother to try it again - it likely did go through and will show up a little while later. I hope you all have more patience than I do for things like this.
