moving
The new server has held up nicely for the past couple of months. The network it's on has been down twice briefly in the early stages but has been hardy since. I've started moving the big blogs over. They'll drop off of the Top 10 chart shown on this page as they get moved then everything will show up again on the charts once everything has moved over. If you find that you're getting "Access Denied" messages when you shouldn't be it may be because you've been moved. Just logout and back in again to clear everything up.

The issue is that your machine has a cookie that looks valid for your blog but because the blog itself is now on a different server the cookie is no longer valid. The result is that your browser is telling your blog that you're still logged in but the blog's security controls are kicking and denying you access until you get a new cookie (logout/login).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

my blog(the whole thing, not just the ability to log in) has been coming up as *HTTP 400 - Bad Request* for several days now. Is this just part of the transition to the new server or is it something more sinister? Thanks for your help.

sorry to bug you, but my blog (Fuzzy) is down again. It's been gone for a few weeks but I didn't want to bug you at first in case it was just regular maintenance or something. Thanks in advance for your help.

Ben, I've not visited this page for ages! I didn't know about the access denied thing. I'm getting that for several days now and I've even rebooted the computer.
Thanks for your help.
I haven't had a problem with the blog for months and months, so I forgot what I should do when I do have trouble. I'm focused on other things!
