Site problems, but I’m back (hopefully).
I use a shared hosting account provided by BlueHost, which allows me to keep costs down for running this site. The downside of this is, however, that there was a pretty major denial-of-service attack against the server where I host my site.
Fortunately, my site’s structure seems to have survived the attack, even though I was getting all kinds of errors for the past 4 days (which kept me from posting anything, unfortunately — I was only able to comment on posts).
The site also got flooded with comment spam, some of which was actually getting through the various safeguards I put in place to prevent it. I’ve now installed some new protection measures which will hopefully keep things from getting too spammy any time soon.
So if you noticed any weird site behaviour over the past few days, that would be the explanation. Thanks for you patience with the site problems, and thanks again for stopping by Vertigo Guy.
