This site has been having trouble lately after I moved the site to a new host. In particular, the site has been using too much of the new server's CPU resources -- thus my host's suspension of this site (if you've been to the site lately). One of the tweaks I performed to solve and pinpoint the problem was to temporarily disable the Recent and Most Popular blocks.

So as an alternative to this feature, you may instead click on the 'recent posts, and 'recent popular content' menu items in your navigation menu. Thanks!
