Hosting Matters, my website host, has been hit by its third Denial-of-Service attack in less than a week. This one left me unable to access my account for nearly all of yesterday. Through midnight last night - and earlier this morning - Movable Type was a ponderous load. Graphics couldn't seem to be found, nor could I contact my FTP cache.
After conversing with tech support, I have the issue mostly resolved: this posting is proof of one challenge defeated, and the other - the menu's graphic interface - might take a little bit more finagling. I just need to configure the correct path.
So, barring any further attacks, posting shall resume as normal. To my tiny yet loyal audience, my apologies and promise for quality blogging in the future.
GOT IT: You can't see it from your end but trust me, Movable Type is back in perfect order and certainly easier on my eyes.
