I am trying to find out why the site has been down for the last few hours. It was something to do with my web host.
Apologies to anyone who was met with the dreaded “Page cannot be displayed” message. I was getting it myself when I tried to access the blog via my smartphone – and then when I got home discovered that it wasn’t the smartphone that was to blame!
I have recently switched packages, but everything was working this morning so I don’t think it was that.
Edit 9/4/2013: 1&1 have confirmed they have a problem. Please ignore any pop ups warning of “referer errors”. This is a part of the problem, and sorry for further downtime today.
Edit 12/4/2013: 1&1 have revealed that the downtime is due to ongoing attacks by hackers, targeting WordPress and Joomla platforms.
Again, apologies for any outages. They’re completely out of my control at the moment.
