Please note that the software that runs this blog, dasBlog, has been updated (to v1.9). Therefore I'll likely be attempting an update of the server later today (Tuesday). If strange things are afoot, that is likely the culprit.
I'll post again when the update is complete ... or when I've reverted back to v1.8.
Update: I think the update to 1.9 stuck. If you have problems, please drop me an email (address on sidebar ... ) Thanks!
