I’ve been having difficulties as well. I can’t access my blog or even edublogs main page. Its 6:30 Mountain Time and I lost access around 3:30 PM Mountain time.

Is anyone else suddenly having problems accessing their blogs? It’s been working fine all day, but as of about 2:45 pm central I was unable to access…..let me know if it’s just me.

Hello everyone, just wanted an update on whether service has been restored. Main page was up and running and was able to get onto other people’s edublogs but not my own. Anything new happening?

For me, it is a planning issue.

When several planned class activities fail, the teacher loses credibility. Regaining that with a class can be difficult, especially in the first 6 weeks of school.

Could an re-estimated uptime be posted on Sunday? Thank you.

@Dan. While I would not wish to undermine anything James is doing, and he can tell me to shut my mouth anytime he likes – fanboy or otherwise, you seem to be reacting somewhat sensitively to my observations. Believe me, I read the comments before mine and they are indeed varied in their reactions but from where I sit, phrases like “Can you give me a reason I shouldn’t migrate to Blogger?” or “Edublogs should have taken server upgrades and academic calendars into consideration when deciding on an appropriate upgrade timeline.” do sound ungrateful to me. Luckily for you, I don’t speak for edublogs but consider this, where else can you lay your concerns/complaints/issues right at the CEO’s feet?

Guys, I massively appreciate everything that you are saying, with luck we have just figured out what the issues are finally and things should be fine from here on it. We’ll post more shortly.

I teach web design at a high school. I have 60 high school students (each designing their own page.)

Is there anyway to download WordPress locally and work on their edublogs pages offline, and later upload what they have done?

Because it’s a public high school level, we already have numerous technological problems, adding this has been extremely frustrating. Please don’t get me wrong, I am grateful for the service.
