Some people are having issues accessing the site. We are working on it and will get back to you when we know more…
=========== Update ==============
Here is what happened. I just talked with support at Godaddy.com. There was a discrepancy with their “zone file”. They have issued a “zone file refresh”. This could take up to 24 hours to be completely resolved, but it may be resolved for most people within an hour.
Click on the following link to see if the issue has been resolved for you:

If you are still looking at the blog after clicking on the link, you will need to wait longer before the “zone file refresh” takes affect for you.
=========== Technical Details =============
Here is what happened today.
We use godaddy.com to control the DNS entries for the CheckOutMyCards.com domain. Under normal circumstances wwww.checkoutmycards.com is supposed to resolve to the IP address of our web server (207.115.68.74). However, around noon PST the DNS settings for www.checkoutmycards.com started resolving to 207.115.68.75. This is the IP address of our email server. Some people who had cached DNS settings were still able to access the site, but some people got the incorrect DNS settings and were not able to get to the site. The zone file refresh should ensure that everyone gets the correct DNS settings, and www.checkoutmycards.com should correctly resolve to 207.115.68.74.
