  Is WordPress updating? Or are services down? My blog will not load. I can obviously access WordPress.com, but not my own blog, nor can I access it through my account.

  I can use saved cache to load an old version, but the active blog won’t load. Like it doesn’t exist. Need to work!!!!!!!! WordPress, please fix this!!!!!!!!!!!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I think it must be a connection issue, because it loaded very quickly for me. You can try http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to test if your blog is okay even when you can’t see it.

  Thanks for that link. Yes, it is supposedly up…I understand the connectivity possibility, but I have no problem going to/laoding any other site. I can even log into my wordpress account & access ‘manage my blogs,’ yet my blog still won’t load.

  Never had this problem before. I have left this blog account open in several tabs at a time whilst updating, but I wouldn’t think this has anything to do w/ it.

  Will you please provide us with some details so we can try to help you?

  1. How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Can you access any of these directly?

  P.S. My hunch is that you are in Europe and you are not using the secure https:// log-in. Am I right?

  It just started working just now. Bizarre.

  Was using Googlechrome, also tried Safari. Both recently updated. Cache is regularly cleared. No problems loading any other website. Cookies were not an issue. …
