Importance of Pinging
We may have introduced a bug that was preventing the proper pings getting to Ping-O-Matic, which in turn made it hard for services like Technorati to keep up with the updates from WordPress.com. This post is testing that we fixed it.

Woo! Another Database
One of our primary databases has been offline for weeks thanks to some hardware problems.
