**Update** If you are reading this then things have returned to normal – apologies if you see duplicate entries in your feed reader as I switch the feed back to using the real blog feed.
My web hosting went offline last night and has yet to return, so this is an interim measure, hopefully the hosting will be back up tomorrow, and things can return to normal. Thankfully I upgraded my WordPress installation last week and as a result have a full backup of my important sites and the databases, so if the worst comes to the worst I can restore from that.
