Hi everyone,

If you’ve experienced problems with links, or any other form of wonky-ness relating to your experience at WU between Friday and today, we want you to know you’re not alone. On Friday, our web host informed us that WU was under a distributed denial-of-service attack, and needed to shut us down. We’ve been scrambling to recover ever since. With the help of our host, we’ve secured a new IP address among other things.

The timing was terrible, natch. Jane Friedman had a fantastic post up on Friday, which many tried to link to without success. And on Saturday, we began our planned three-day auction. You can find these posts here now, just scroll down, or click the links.

Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. Hopefully things will be a little smoother moving forward.

All best,
Therese and Kath

You could dump the contents of the Exxon Valdez on the WU site and we’d all be waiting patiently for your return. No one’s going away.

Technology: it can be your best friend or your worst enemy. No worries. As Alex said your loyal fans will return.

No worries, WU Mamas! (Gosh, I imagine the past weekend was a major nightmare for you . . . so sorry.)

It happened to me two months ago, so believe me I understand. It’s majorly stressful. But you’re back up and running and that’s what counts!
