  Hey guys,

  For some reason, when I type the web address of my blog in, all I get is a blank screen.

  What’s the blog URL? Can’t help if we can’t see it for ourselves.

  Seems to be fine now, but when I go to the relevant blog in “My Dashboard” I get an error message

  When I try to click to new post it goes into URL http:///wp-admin/post-new.php and says “Cannot find server”

  Someone else reported a vanishing blog earlier today. Email support at wordpress dot com. Someone is tinkering behind the scenes and needs to fix that.

  So this is a common problem? Do you know how it would have happened?

  No, it’s not a common problem. I have no idea what happened. But it happened to someone else today and once she alerted staff her blog got fixed, so do that.

  Cool, thanks.

  How long does it normally take them to get around to fixing problems?

  Forever on weekends, unless they’re feeling benevolent. Normal hours are 9-5 M-F PDT. But you never can tell when one of them will check the email and start tinkering.

  Yeah, I didn’t take time difference into the equation!
