We have noticed a problem with Safat , we know that some blogs do not update , we believe its a load problem on the serverز
our volunteers been working around the clock to solve the problem
لقد لاحظنا مؤخرا بعض المشاكل بالصفاه ، وقد وصلنا العلم بأن بعض المدونات لا يتم تحديثها على الصفاه
نحن نعتقد انها مشكله تتعلق بالضغط على جهاز الخادم
متطوعونا يعملون جاهدين على حل المشكلة

Thanks to the magic of Google we have created a Kuwait Blogs Search. Allowing you to only search for phrases within the Kuwait Blogosphere. Give it a try.

We have implemented a cache system for Safat that will make the load lighter on the server and process the page faster since it doesn’t have to render it via PHP. It seems to be working fine, I had some problems last night with the Full/Short post option but got that fixed.
We also been noticing problems with the Safat feed .Certain blog posts have been causing it to break, and make RSS readers unable to read it. Luckily the problem fixes itself with new posts removing the older broken ones. We dont want to remove anyone from Safat, but if the problem continues we will be forced to remove the broken blog feed for the greater good.

I finally moved this blog from MovableType to Wordpress and oh how good it feels. I really hated doing stuff on here after using WP for so long, but its all done now, but there are some slight problems. I kinda got carried away with the spam killing so I may have removed some comments.
One great feature is that now the blog roll is now linked with Safat so any blog added there, will also be placed here. This will be the list updated and fresh all times.
One annoying thing is now we have 66 uncategorized posts. Slowly but surelly I guess we’ll place them somwhere.
