WordPress was down but it’s back & with a random blog feature

WordPress.com was down for a good 15 or 20 minutes. After a while they got the main page up, but not any of the blogs they host. I wonder if this was the first time or more importantly, if it will be the last.

While it was down, they implemented a nice new feature. There is now a Next Blog link in the upper right corner, so if you are ever in the mood for a random blog, check out the Next Blog. Here is the official WordPress Blog Post.

When the site was down I got curious and checked out their listing on Netcraft. Apparently WordPress runs FreeBSD and LiteSpeed. I don’t have any experience with LiteSpeed (but since it’s free I’m definitely going to give it a try) but FreeBSD is super awesome. The more I find out about WordPress the more I like it.
