My blog was down from 11pm on January 9th through about 2pm on the 10th.  It appears to have been a database issue. I feel like Mr. Spock – Captain, we have a database issue of unknown origin.

The folks at the Yahoo help center (who were very nice) directed me a special E-mail address for database issues (Yahoo uses MySql as the Word Press back end).  They have rebuilt the database.  I’m happy, problem solved (I hope).

Thank you Yahoo tech folks.
