The outage

Rogue has been down much of the time in recent days. The cause was a hacker attack on the hosting service, Typepad. I apologize to readers who were inconvenienced. This raises larger issues, such as whether a backup site is needed. I don't have the answers yet. But if the site should go down again, you will be more likely to reach the basic postings using www..typepad.com. Then, for specific pages, insert the "typepad" on url for that page. E.g. www..typepad.com/rogue_columnist/2014/04/ballingers-masterpiece.html

You can also check the status of Typepad here.
