The Blog Peoria Network

I’ve been braining storming with my advisers, and a solution should be coming soon on what do do about the frequent outages. The change will probably be somewhat less drastic than I earlier thought. I need to wait to hear from some local folks, then I’ll make an announcement.

It’s essential that a change be made, because the current situation isn’t working for my host, it’s not working for me and not for readers and fellow bloggers. I want to grow this site, and it can’t happen when I can’t even open admin pages every time I try.

At about this time last night, I tried to install a script that was designed to reduce the load to the server created by the increased number of blogs running on the Blog Peoria Project. That increased sever load was knocking offline all sites using this shared server.

Unfortunately, as soon as I installed the script and activated it, my site became completely unusable. I manually deleted the files I had uploaded and removed any changes made to filed that already existed. The problem only got worse.
