Comments and new postings were blocked for most of today (Monday) by my web hosting service, Lunarpages. They are back on now. Lunarpages is unhappy with Movable Type, the software that L.A. Observed and many other bloggers use, but apologized for rashly shutting down this site without advance notice. I've found a new host that works closely with Movable Type, and is cheaper with more features, and will be moving the site there. (Thanks to everybody for the great suggestions!) If the transition goes smoothly, you won't even notice. I'll let you know who the new host is once things are working there.

Blogging may also be lighter (and maybe bumpier) this week because I'll be traveling to Gainesville to participate as a panelist in the Symposium on Converged Journalism at the University of Florida. JD Lasica, Sheila Lennon, Jennifer Balderama, Mark Glaser and Elizabeth Spiers are among the online journos who are participating.
