Tap-tap...Is this thing on?

I doubt that anyone besides me noticed, but this website was offline for several days, the victim of a distributed denial of service attack.

My husband has explained several times how these DDSA's (as I like to call them) work, and I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would be doing such a thing. 'Specially not to little old me.

Best my hosting service can figure, it was a typo, a mis-typed IP. We changed the IP today, so if the attacks--over 100,000 hits from ~30,000 IPs at this point--stop, all is well. If they keep coming, then it will be considered a personal attack.

Yikes.
