 * Suddenly I can’t open my WordPress blog: “Cannot find server!”
    Sometimes it 
   opens slow slow slow or not at all: “Cannot find Server.” it worked great for
   month -even last week without problem! Now, my other blogs Greymatter and Moving
   Type open up instantly, so do all my webpages! and did so all the time since 
   installation… So what happened to my WordPress blog? did some bug get in? too
   many entries? some link slowing it down? Thanks for any suggestions!

 * OK Mark,
    maybe Sitemeter keeps/kept it “hanging”? the blog seems to be working
   now, still hesitates and slow when “publish” but as I said above, I had never
   any problems before; comments and registry are shut down from the very beginning…

   me know how it works from your distance. Thanks

 * That just loaded very fast for me.
    You could mail your host about the server
   error though, just to see what was going on. Could just have been a few minutes
   of routine maintenace. I sometimes have a short delay for my counter too, and
   with Technorati going down, I’ve removed the code from my menu as the delay was
   too long. These things happen ….

 * thanks podz,
    I can always check againsy my other pages and blogs; so it wasn’t
   the server, because from my stats page on the host server included in the account,
   I could click right through to all of them but not to my wordpress blog it would
   either “hang” or “cannot find server” whereas the others were ok and showed up
   promptly… I suspect the Sitemeter counter on the blog was down; but then again,
   this would be a first… and, yes, I recall taking off Technorati of one of my 
   blogs because of pages “hanging” and not loading… Now you think it’s a “server
   error” and they should know about it? but then, why do all the other pages work?
   I’ll watch it some more… Thanks

 * podz,
    you were right on the server error; I didn’t contact them, BUT they exchanged
   or upgraded their system, on Nov 1st which totally collapsed this weekend without
   back-ups to October 31. Here are my entries: [http://wordpress.org/support/3/18076](http://wordpress.org/support/3/18076)
   Now this puts me in a quandary as to how to make WORDPRESS back-ups for my own
   files and use; that’s really at issue here as this sort of failure does not appear
   to affect Graymatter and MT. Is there something I can add to WORDPRESS “to make
   copies” other than making “carbon copies” of each of all my entries in the future?
   THANKS!

 * Yes.
    One click backup [http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/02/14/wordpress-backuprestore-new-version-available/](http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/02/14/wordpress-backuprestore-new-version-available/)
   and it’s a good habit to backup regularly through phpmyadmin too.
