Sorry about the lack of posts. I'm certain that many of you have been encountering 503 errors when trying to access our humble little blog.
This has been going on for two weeks. This past weekend Typepad moved to a new server. Unfortunately there are now even more problems. The foremost being the inability to upload photos to posts.
In case you're wondering; here are the links to the Twitter posts -I would do screenshots, but of course I can't upload images.
And then of course, there's more "fun" instore:
"Typepad will be conducting additional maintenance this coming weekend to address lingering issues as part of the continued migration to the new data center."
I'm still eating and taking photos of food and hopefully will be back posting soon!
I'll respond to comments when I'm able. Sorry to say that I'm not receiving comments and notifications (i.e. my Help Ticket updates) until sometimes 12 hours after the comments posted.
Wish me luck!
Gotta love "upgrades" that end up breaking everything.

I'm just impressed Typepad still exists.

This was happening before the upgrade Jason....though it seems things are now worse!
I hope so Kat!
This is really bad ST.
Well Dave, Blogger still exists, right?

I would be just a little concerned that Typepad no longer accepts new signups, and are pushing people to WordPress on bluehost.
I think the writing is on the wall...

Yes Peter, I'm reviewing options. Of course we have over 4850 posts so......

I'm sure you've run across some of those companies that will migrate your Typepad blog to WordPress. Even so, I'm sure it would be a very painful experience -- while you might retain all your posts (and comments?), the look and feel of your site would surely change significantly. That said, it seems that WordPress is where it's at -- now and for the foreseeable future.

Yes, I'm hoping I can have time to plan things out Peter. To make it as smooth and seamless as possible.
