  So I blog here, first time in days, hit “publish” and get the message ‘wait a few minutes.’ Could anyone please define: “few minutes”? –I need to log off now, how long till I can try publishing? I’ve seen the message before. I ask that a definition of “few” be included with the message. Blog subject is way timely…but if I get booted while waiting to publish….
  Thanks,

  Poppy

  Like yourself, we have not been given any information about this “server maintenance” event. There is another thread on this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=12677

  I seriously doubt they would know how long it would take them to do something either. One can not predict the future.

  I find that a few seconds is long enough. Just hit refresh…I’ve never seen the message twice in a row though it does seem to be a regular occurrence.

  I have seen this message repeatedly displayed on my blog for about 3 days, about a week ago. I’m no longer getting this message now. And I note Matt says: “We also brought online a new datacenter with Server Beach in San Antonio.” That means that there is probably a lot of load re-balancing that must take place. http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/07/02/june-wrap-up/
