It seems that the guys over at Giveaway of the Day have had a bit of a WordPress accident. It seems to have eaten their ticker and RSS feeds, as well, because it may be affecting my page loading times.
This has been causing my Project Wonderful boxes to sorta… vomit on themselves, and results in PW constantly emailing me to tell me the boxes are down. However, I see the boxes every time I load the page, so that couldn’t be it.
I’m gonna disable them for now, and see how that fares.
