A heads up for readers who occasionally get gibberish or worse when visiting johnaugust.com: it’s not just you. The front page occasionally takes forever to load, or fails completely. I’d be tearing my hair out, but I keep it very short (a “1” on the clippers, thank you very much).
For once, I’m glad to report it has nothing to do with WordPress or my questionable coding skills. Rather, there are some load issues on the server that hosts the site. Hopefully, we’ll have things running better within the week. Until then, please check back later if you have trouble getting to the site.
