  the messege goes:

  “Goshdarnit!

  Something has gone wrong with our servers. It’s probably Matt’s fault.

  We’ve just been notified of the problem.

  Hopefully this should be fixed ASAP, so kindly reload in a minute and things should be back to normal.”

  im getting really pissed off, i fix most of the errors on my page yet still, this is really messing with my readers.

  You’ve got a lot of media on your front page. Try limiting the number of blog posts you show.

  You already pointed at this problem in these other threads:

  I really don’t see the point of opening a new thread a day for the same issue.

  Try removing the categories widget from your sidebar. There are nearly 2300 categories listed. A dropdown list that long is essentially unusable, and it adds 140kb to the size of every page view download.

  The widget was still there when I checked. I removed it for you and it seems fine now (and loads much faster too).

  There’s no specific number. The problem seems to be not with categories in general but with the categories widget. It uses a lot of memory when there are so many categories. For the sort of use on your blog you might find tags are more appropriate – you don’t have to create them in advance, just add a few when you write each post.
