Update 10:00am EST:
An update on site uptime: After much wrangling, and hours on the phone with tech support, I’ve been able to restore the site fully to its state as of Friday afternoon. For those who tried to leave a comment, browse the archives, or do anything other than viewing the (cached) homepage over the weekend, welcome back. Things should be working normally again. Posting to return to normal soon. And thanks for your patience.

Downgraded: This site’s backend

Just an administrative note: This site’s database crashed over the weekend. In a big way. (Thanks for the emails letting me know you couldn’t move beyond the homepage — which was cached.) I’m still working to restore the content that was lost in the crash — the last two weeks’ worth of content, basically.
