Downtime Explanation

My apologies if you were unable to reach this site yesterday evening… It seems that Dreamhost was having some file server problems that took down a great many sites including both FiveCentNickel and Raising4Boys. And even after they had it back up and running, I was still unable to reach my sites for the remainder of the evening (they warned that “there may be some slowness while things get caught up”). This is the first major outage that I’ve experienced at Dreamhost, but all seems to be running normal at this point.
