All our Web sites were down for several hours yesterday. That got me to thinking — how do you let people know when your Web site is down? So I posted our Web site status on my Facebook page; didn’t think to put something out via Twitter; forgot about LinkedIn; then realized that anyone who tried to access one of our Web sites would just give up when the site didn’t load.

Everything’s fine now. Still no word from our Web host about what happened, but since they’re located just outside Utica, New York, I’m thinking the outage may be related to the big winter storm that hit upstate New York yesterday.
