... because, basically, Blogger took it into its head to stop publishing any new material from websites created before a certain date, and only then if they accepted a change of website address. It is only thanks to the wonderful Simon Wilkes of Random House, who actually knows how to handle websites, that it's back up and running again.

I think very ill of them for this, so may later be migrating the blog again to a less stupid blog source, but in the meantime, hopefully everybody's links remain relatively undisturbed.

A particular apology to everyone who made charitable donations to Haiti to commission Mikalogues and has been waiting ages: I haven't forgotten you, and shall be attending to that shortly. I have a list, but if people want to remind me in the comments, please feel free. Also feel free to point out any technial problems you're having with the site, though I'll have to pass them on to Simon as I'm no Netsmith myself, as the last month's echoing silence doubtless suggests.

But anyway, it looks like we may be back in business! Fingers crossed...
