I sincerely apologize for the downtime. The issue should finally be resolved. A missing file that the .htaccess file was looking for caused the site to show a blank white page. Apparently, the permalinks structure had also somehow gotten changed. I think we’re good now. I just need to check my other sites to make [...]

I think I’ve emailed those that I needed to to let them know that this site now has a Page Rank on Google. But, in case you’re interested, and didn’t get the message, drivelocity.com has achieved a PR3.
