This seems to be an occasional problem... I've checked with my web-host provider, and it seems that the site has been up and working... Here is what they think the problem probably is (from some of their email to me last month)....

Actually the problem probably isnt the ISP. There is terrible DNS problems on the net in the US right now so it depends on what ISP or route it takes to get to the server ;-(

The good news is this type of problem usualy doesnt last long.

Once when I couldn't get through to Sowpub myself, I tried going through a different route and managed to get through.

I'm not sure, but I wonder if the above problem might be due to Sowpub.com being a relatively new domain name (I only registered it a few months ago -- this is quite a new site).

Thanks for pointing out the problem, though, Mary....

Cheers,

Dien
