We’re back!
Sorry folks, we had some intermittent downtime and slowness starting Tuesday afternoon (9/22) around 4pm. It was caused by some misbehaving plugins which we have now cleared up. Blogs was back to normal performance around 9am on Thursday 9/24. Our apologies for the interruption!!
Emergency downtime
Hey folks, we’re back! Sorry for the downtime on Wed evening and Thursday (3/16). The hamsters that power our server got tired and needed a nap…they are back on their wheels now and things are looking good!
One note: if you use either of the Feed Comments or FeedWordPress plugins those will be available Thursday morning (3/17). We had to disable those during our troubleshooting. We are working on re-enabling those plugins for those that were using them. Feel free to enable them yourself if you beat us to it (your plugin settings should come back on activation)!
Thanks for your patience!

Upgrade time!
On Thursday, May 8 from 8am – 12 noon LU Blogs is getting a makeover (translated: upgrade)! During this time, you will be able to access and view content in the system; however, you will not be able to add or make changes to existing content. After the upgrade we will have lots of new and shiny features for you, hope you enjoy!

Super cache!
No, it has nothing to do with tights and a cape, it’s actually a special plugin built to speed up blogs. The idea is for blogs to serve up a copy of popular web pages that get multiple hits in a short time. This saves the server work and helps the page load quicker. We hope you see a difference!
Users that are logged in do not get served cached pages, and new posts or blog changes should update the cached page version immediately. If you are browsing blogs without logging in and seem to be missing content updates, login to view the latest content or check back in a few minutes.
