Hosted Wordpress Down - Power Outage
We are receiving reports that the hosted version of Wordpress is down (wordpress.com) or somewhat out-of-action. Robert Scoble's blog is not responding for me at 12:01AM Eastern Sunday. The main Wordpress.com site is also acting funky.
Wordpress has posted an outage report about the issue -- about 9:30pm Eastern:
One of our datacenters lost power, taking out a bunch of our servers with it. We're doing our best to get everything back in order, but you're sure to see some glitches for a bit. In particular, you won't be able to write any new content for the next... call it an hour. None of your old content is missing or in danger, though.
Please report in if your hosted Wordpress blog is affected. While you wait for your blog to return, check out our audio interview with Wordpress co-founder Matt Mullenweg.
Update: While Wordpress is back up now, Alex Hillman sent in the image below. Basically it appears that when Wordpress.com is down, your non-hosted Wordpress.org dashboard will also be down. This makes sense as many of the items on the dashboard pull from other sources.












down for me!
Similarly, if you use any services in your wordpress.org self hosted site, they are affected. This includes, as far as I can tell, wordpress stats and akismet.
