3:30 p.m. - it’s done…the server was down from approximately 1:55 to 3:30 p.m. MDT. If you tried to get here and could not - wasn’t your problem.
My hosting company has let me know that the specific server which hosts “From the Front Porch” is failing…before it fails completely they will move everything to a brand new server. They tell me there will be a 30-45 minute period of time when everything will be offline. This will happen sometime today.
Generally, a server failure happens gradually and they would start noticing and do a changeover on a weekend night with a lot of advanced notice. Apparently, this server is all of a sudden showing a dramatic number of errors and to avoid a complete outage that would require recovery from backup and more downtime, they decided on a short notice, short outage scenario. Works for me!

Ugh. I’ve had server problems before, and it’s not fun. Glad they’re taking care of it for you.
