Earlier today I was trying to edit one of my posts using live writer. But I kept getting this error.

So I open up firefox and try to open my blog and get back a nice 404 error – not good!  I had been playing with installing some software on the site a few days ago and figured maybe I had messed something up along the way.  But after 15 minutes or so I couldn’t figure anything out so I fire off a support request to my hosting service Dreamhost.  Since the web site is just for my blog I gave it low level priority and didn’t really expect a response for a couple of hours given that its was a Saturday night.  However much to my surprise I got a reply in about 15 minutes from Dreamhost support saying everything is backup and running.  Now that’s what I call service!  Considering that I have had this site a little over a year and this is my first issue I must say I am pretty happy.  So in conclusion.

Thanks Dreamhost!
