could you give me a link for which pages you saw that were blank? I 
checked 
a few and they were fine.

We are in the midst of a server upgrade. Attempts are being made to do 
this 
transparently, but my confidence that it will actually go that way are a 
little low. So it is possible that the ride will get a little bumpy in the 
near future.   The server got rebooted several times yesterday in testing 
something related to this, so it is possible you encountered one of those 
events.

BTW, you don't need to post global mails to the entire world when you see 
a 
problem on the LD site. A mail to me letting me know so I can fix it is 
fine.

you are welcome to pay me money if you want to. :-)  Your enjoyment of 
Looper's Delight is mostly funded by me, and it ain't cheap. Any donations 
that you would like to make to help pay for it are very welcome. there are 
little "donate to Looper's Delight" links all over the site to make this 
easy. You can even use your credit card.

there is no interface on the site to allow you to post that way, so this 
comment is a little baffling. what do you mean?
