Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch April 2010 (with an iPad version following shortly thereafter)
You may have noticed (a long time ago) that the blog wouldn’t load. We noticed this around September of last year, and didn’t see any easy way to fix it. Then we forgot about it, remembered, and tried to fix it. Each time we were unsuccessful, so we created a new database and re-installed WordPress.
Unfortunately we can’t display the older posts yet, but the good news is that we can blog again!
