Does This Mean That We're Irritating Somebody?

Dear blog readers,

For all of you who have sent email and written comments over this past few days and have been wondering why they apparently went unanswered and unposted, here's what's been going on: It appears that the blog was the target of a hacking attempt or some other kind of attack designed to prevent us from logging in to view comments and post new entries. It's taken us a few days and some consultation with bloggers more savvy than ourselves to get the problem corrected and to be able to log in again. Unfortunately this caused a delay in our ability to read comments and email. Again, our apologies. The good news is that all is normal again and we've had some great help and instruction in getting there.


Does this mean that we're making somebody mad? Could be.


But as usual, what initially seems to be a setback turns out to be a good surprise. When we put the word out that we needed some help figuring out how to recover from this trouble we had a few excellent offers of help from really talented people who have students in the district, and some of whom run their own blogs. So a big 'thank you' to you all for lending us your expertise. Without you we would probably still be wondering what was going on with Google and Blogger.


That's it - Just wanted the people who have been emailing and commenting with no replies or comment moderation to know what's been the cause of the delay.
