Bypassing the Hitch

By Ollypj @OllyPJ

Before I get started on a brand-new post with regards to a walk I’ve been wanting to write about for the past week; I’d like to announce that I am back in touch with my blog, after a long week of apparent inaccessibility! It looks as though it’s an issue with several UK-based ISPs (ours, here at home, is TalkTalk). I haven’t been able to sign-in to my blog without difficulty, I could load the site to simply view it in any browser and neither have I been able to view any other blogs that happen to be hosted by WordPress (and I am subscribed to quite a few).

Sites that use WordPress’ software and developer tools only (but hosted elsewhere) don’t seem to be effected by this. I’m no techno-genius but it’s almost as if something within the ISP’s setup is ‘blocking’ some elements of the WordPress software… I’ve not yet experienced this on any other site, although I have had trouble trying to update the basic information on my Facebook fan page for this blog.

Anyway, I’ve moved around this by turning off the wi-fi and switching back to my mobile broadband dongle, with its minimal download allowance remaining. I hope this might help others experiencing similar difficulties, if these ISPs don’t sort the issue very soon. In the mean time, I’m going to begin writing about the walk. There are already a load of photos on Flickr so, even if I don’t finish this tonight, you’ll at least have something to look at!

;-)

Thank you all for your patience and also, a big thank you to everyone who’s recently decided to follow and Like my page on Facebook. I’m trying to keep it updated (more so now than ever before) with regular photos of progress and any links that I find interesting and would like to share. I’ll try to include more snippets from my walks as well, so it’s not entirely about working with wood.
