HorsesAss.org having problems

One of our fellow progressive Washingtonian bloggers was having some problems: the HorsesAss.org blog (run by David Goldstein, a.k.a Goldy) temporarily crashed Sunday evening but was partially back up just a couple hours before Monday, January 17th. It was fully back up early Monday morning.

As of 11:05 PM Sunday evening, all of the comments for HorsesAss.org whad been down but regular posts were back up and viewable after all of them had disappeared. Comments were restored shortly after 12 AM.

The blog had been displaying errors when trying to load:

The blog's calendar and poll were also temporarily disabled but they are once again visible on the site.

The blog is fully operational again.
