  • Early this morning, though my site here “appeared”, my blogs had “vanished” and were effectively inaccessible--even to me.  


     


    Overload!  Xanga was listing and my site was impacted.  But what?



    I tried everything to reinvorgate my site: eliminating all *Header* material, all *Website Stat* material, all *More Stuff* and all graphics. I even eliminated over 360 entries from my SIR list (long overdue, yet with over 280 entries still remaining) but still was blogless. Those were rough waters that I was sailing in .


     


    It appeared the error was a Server timeout involving loading the Blogring module.  For the moment, the Blogring module is gone—and my blogs have returned.  I’m glad that the Xanga techs figured that out promptly.

    Still, it's triage time at Xanga. It looks like: 1) the *Newly Updated* list is gone, 2) the *Featured Content* list is curtailed from 100 entries to 20, 3) the *Blogrings* module is gone, and 4) though they returned the *Stats Box* to the Premium customers (is that the problem?), they eliminated the cumulative stats for everyone that accrue over your Xanga lifetime (as previously viewable in your Public Profile) and now just have relativistic week-to-week resetting stats.  I was closing in on 600 subscribers, but getting a read on that crossing is somewhat problematic now—unless matters emerge from this barrage of triage and return to normalcy.
