My blog keeps falling over under load. It's not even particularly high load, front page of HN and a retweet by @timoreilly. But this is the second time this has happened. I already have my hand in managing services that have to withstand load, I don't need my blog to be one of them.
That sounds like a pretty awful blog engine... Are you using uncached wordpress or something? If so, just install a caching plugin and it will work fine.
