Rollback

I wrote a post the other day about integrating a feed reader into my WordPress installation. The idea was to make this website my online home.

In a cruel twist of irony, I lost that post as I had to roll back to a security backup from a few days back. Can't say exactly what happened, but it seems that my feed subscription habits were a bit too much for the plugin and/or server to handle.

Occasionally as the plugin was fetching updates from feeds, it would "freeze" my entire WordPress installation. The result being a WordPress white screen of death for most visitors over the past days. I believe the trouble was caching related, because as long as I was logged in, I had no problems viewing the site.

Strange.

Anyways, I've disabled the feed reader plugin since yesterday, and the problem hasn't reappeared. So it looks like I'm back to Reeder. For now.
