The site seems to have some big problems right now – I’m having lots of trouble with my WordPress dashboard – not able to upload/make changes to posts… it nearly took as long to get this weeks comic to publish as it did to draw it, which is hugely frustrating!

The site seems to also to be very slow to respond at times as well, and it seems a bit random as to when it decides to work or not – I’ve logged delays of over 30 seconds in serving a page in some cases.  If you’ve been experiencing delays I can only apologise and thank you for your patience.  Based on previous experience, my site is hosted on a troublesome shared server.  It was fixed briefly but it’s back to it’s old tricks again it seems.

There’s also the  possibility that some malicious code has squeaked in under the radar – there have been a few reports recently of sophisticated spambots targetting wordpress blogs, and I’ve even had to delete a false admin account that had been created remotely on my blog control panel a couple of weeks ago.   The upshot of all of this is that I’m going to take some time this weekend to try and upgrade wordpress and restore older backup templates where possible.  The upshot of that is FtB might be unavailable for a few hours over the next few days, or if I really screw up (I am rubbish at the internet!), the next few weeks!  Ah no, hopefully it won’t come to that…

Fingers crossed!
