Yes, it’s back up! While I had planned to continue work on my rear spring pads tonight (I’m completely redoing the angles on my spring pads — but I’ll save that update for the future), the site had to take priority.
THE PROBLEM:
It turns out that when a website uses more than its alotted CPU % (which differs from bandwidth and server space), my webhost (anhosting) will simply take down everything related to the offending URL (in my case, anything with ewillys.com attached to it). Super Freaking Inconvenient!!!!
I believe the offending issues included 1) a highly problematic spammer out of China 2) a problem with the translation plugin, which was causing all kinds of slow downs and 3) possibly issues with talk backs, which are almost entirely used by spammers. So, I have dealt with each of these issues. I also optimized and reduced the size of the database. I believe I am noticing noticeably faster downloads based on my experience tonight.
ALSO:
I’ve upgraded the wordpress software to 3.0 and completely rebuilt the menus within the new auto-menu schematic (which you probably won’t notice, but it makes it easier for me to rearrange the main menu and add other menus anywhere in the site).
I haven’t yet got the mapping working yet, so I still need to do that (not sure what’s going on there). So, on Tuesday the site might be down for a little while as I update stuff a little more.
If you use a rss reader, I might have taken that down temporarily.
