Help! I can't see my own blog. If you're reading this help me out ...

Sometime in the evening of Friday July 2, every Blogware blog I know of, including my own, fell off the Web, so far as I can tell. And yet, friends in the U.S. say their Blogware blogs are working fine. One correspondent suggested there was a connectivity issue with ATT Canada. Whatever it is, it's now Saturday monring July 3 and I can't see my blog, Accordion Guy's blog, Ross Rader's blog, and some other sites. I'm connecting to the Net from home through the Cogeco cable. You can help me get a sense of what this problem is by sending me some e-mail and letting me know where you are and what time you were reading this. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I wasn't able to access to Blogware websites either but it looks like everything is back. Curious what went wrong.

Hi David , I noticed this same problem a few days ago , when I returned from a concert and a few days away

I had went to look at my own site and nothing and then I went to your site and nada

I emailed Blogware and they said they could see my site
They proved it by sending me to http://www.anonymizer.com
where I was able to see my own account

I then contacted Cogeco , who said it was a DNS server problem and it would take a few days too fix

Today Im up again

TTYl
