Troubles
Doin' the tech voodoo...
Sorry, kids, I'm working on the server troubles. I don't think it's the server itself; something we're running on the box is overwhelming MySQL, and I'm trying to figure out what. Please be patient. Thanks.

We were the targets of a Denial of Service (DOS) attack, according to our provider--an attempt to take the box down, not over. It was targeted at the box that is shared by TheNewHomemaker.com, Hipmama.com and Girl-mom.com. We don't know who it was or why we were targeted; it was probably just a random thing, a "hey kids, let's see if we can kill this box." Our service provider has taken some steps to protect us. We're also just about out of processor space, which means Bee and I will need to pungle up some $$ for some more RAM. Thanks for everyone's patience.
