Technical problems on the blog today

Sometime during the night, at least six posts — including the post scheduled for today — vanished from the server that hosts the blog. Several other items, including comments posted over the weekend, disappeared as well, and we’re not quite sure why. The work of a disgruntled Denver fan, perhaps?

We’re working to find the missing material, but until we do, there will will likely be a delay in new posts. If we can’t find them, I will have to write them again. This will only make me crankier, and we know no one wants that. Because, of course, I didn’t make a local backup, trusting in the server company’s 99 percent guarantee.

Just call it another highlight in what has turned into an extremely troubled transition in moving the blog from its old server and platform to the new one.
