OK, so the blog is broken. All that spam has caused my hosting company to suspend the account, meaning I can’t access it via ftp.
In the meantime, I’ve moved hosts and set-up the blog again. I’m just waiting to import the past 4 years of posts to get it all back to normal! Currently, this is the only post on the entire blog! Strange huh?
I hope to get everything back to its usual state by Monday, but for now please be patient.
So we’re back from Egypt and the photos are up on Flickr. We had a great time away and really enjoyed spending time with our friends Dominic, Claire, Rebecca, Joshua, Brian and Liz by the seaside.
Apologies if you’ve tried to comment on the blog in the past few days, access was suspended due to the huge amount of comment spam coming through. Although none of it got live on the site, I returned to a spam folder of around 17,000 comments! Things are back to normal now though.
Oh yes, and I bought a Canon EOS 400D Camera! I’ve wanted an SLR for a looong time and with the income from Dj-ing recently, felt it was finally viable. Although Tim Abbott preferred the Nikon D40x, there was a good deal on the Canon in Duty Free with an 8GB Compact Flash Card thrown in. I’m really happy with the outstanding picture quality.
Anyway, now we’re home there may actually be some interesting posts coming up soon…
I’ve had a lot of problems with Spam on this blog recently due to some changes with plug-ins. For some reason or other my hosting server can’t contact to Akismet so I’m trying out some other options which ultimately seem less than good! Anyone got some helpful suggestions?
What all this means for you, dear reader, is that you may have to put up with slow page loading and odd comments with unhelpful links for a short while until I figure out a more permanent solution. Sorry!
