Site posting is down

Drat! I just authored a brilliant post called “Colbert watching, dog whistling & the rise of the 5th Estate.” Evidently it was a tad long. I get a 500 Server Error when I try to post.

I have a ticket in to my hosting service who tells my that I’m hitting my server memory limit and another to Movable Type to try to figure out how to fix it. I’m hoping this brief message will get through. If it does and you have any idea how I can fix my blog, please email me!

UPDATE: ICDSoft upped the memory limit on the server for me, which has resolved the symptom, not the problem. The problem, apparently, is my huge category index pages. I’ve been trying to find a way to paginate those indexes for a long time.

Movable Type has warned me that my database could become unstable and crash the whole site. I’ve asked them about the category index page issue; they’ve yet to respond.
