  I can get into my blog but only extremely SLOWLY. (About 5 minutes) This is a new problem. Everything else on the computer (iMac OSX) is fine.

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

  Hi Marie,

  I received your message saying that the issue you are experiencing is not the one I mentioned previously. If that’s the case, I’d be happy to continue troubleshooting this with you. :)

  Are you only having trouble accessing your blog, or are you also having trouble accessing other WordPress.com blogs or your blog’s dashboard?

  It is possible there is some sort of connection problem or slowdown between your location and one of our data center. Could you load the following URLs and tell me if any of them are slow?
