This blog is hosted by Blogger.com, part of Google. Blogger has been having unexplained problems and has driven Iain Dale to attempt DIY repairs. My own geeks say (a) it is nothing to do with them and (b) it is fine if you are using the Firefox browser. Guido uses Firefox because it is quicker and allows him to open tabbed pages simultaneously. Download and switch to Firefox and your life will be better.

Iain warns that if they don’t sort it out he will drop using Blogger. Google’s Rachel Whetstone has promised Iain things will be sorted. Quickly please.
