So all of you commenting today, just remember -- even though the site looks like it's not accepting your comments, it is. And if you see multiple comments saying the same thing, it's probably just because the site is so darn slow today that everyone's anxiously hitting the "post" button multiple times.

They tell us things will be fixed by the weekend -- but please do stick with us in these trying times. (Also, our picture upload function isn't working, which is why this is illustrated with a random picture grabbed from a previous post as opposed to one of those pictures of "technical difficulties, please stand by," as we had originally envisioned.

This post is going live at 1:15 p.m.; you can get a rough gauge of our time-lapse delays by checking what time the post actually showed up on the site.
