  I was already logged into this account this morning, but I havn’t been able to get to WordPress.com to log into my other account.

  http://outsider222.wordpress.com

  And I notice that I can’t get to the categories that Google brings up about that blog, although this account seems to be OK.

  Is it just me, or everybody? Is it due to the migration?

  Thanks!

  There was a DOS attack on wordpress.com this morning and I don’t think things are completely back to normal yet.

  Yes, currently wordpress.com is still under a relatively large Denial of Service attack. While we work to mitigate the situation, we have temporarily disabled the site so that it does not affect the availability of your blogs.

  In the mean time, to login to your blog, you can go to http://blog.wordpress.com/wp-login.php where “blog” is your blog name.

  Ouch. I thought that might be the case.

  (…where did I put that tinfoil hat??)

  LOL

  I would get paranoid and suspect that someone in Maine government did this.

  (… except of course, nobody in Maine government knows how to run a computer:

  Thanks.
