Typepad has been a MESS for a couple of weeks now. They had trouble with theit transition to new servers, they got hit with a DDoS attack, and then they spent, like, a week saying, "We are working very hard!" while nobody's blog would load. Or maybe parts of it would load in a sad and cockeyed way, but also maybe they wouldn't. People for whom blogs are a revenue source are big mad -- they've been losing advertisers, freaking out. Typepad just kept posting the same useless stuff on Twitter. Working hard! Getting better!
Now I have no idea what is involved here, and I can imagine that a subscription blogging service does not have a lot of money to spend on customer service reps here in the year of Our Lord 2022, but that seems like a terrible way to do business. However! Tonight, for the first time in a while, my blog will load. I am happy to see its pale-yellow 2004-era face again. If you have things to say but have been deterred by the endlessly loading comment interface, I'd love to hear from you. NaBloPoMo topic suggestions are welcome.
