Livejournal DOWN!

I was just surfing the net and replying my formspring questions when I saw some regarding livejournal being down at the moment. Then I tried accessing my blogshop website and I got a shock! It says "Your IP address is blocked".  -.-

So how? My launch and advertisement is on this Friday and if this problem is not resolved by Thursday, how am I going to launch on time? There is no way I can change my launch date because my advertorial is fixed.

3 solutions I came up with:
1) Post on FaceBook
2) Post here, my blog
3) Create another temporary website using blogspot

Posting on Facebook sounds like a good idea but the only problem is, what about those who do not have a Facebook account? I am quite sure there are quite a few who do not have. And if I post on Facebook, how are the customers going to place their orders? It isn't good to ask them to leave a comment there because it is unscreened.

Posting here on my blog has another concern too. While I am able to screen the comments, but the problem is this is my personal blog. It means that I will have to send an email to my mailing listees and direct them here, which means that people will know about my blog. Is this good or bad? I am not sure.

Creating another temporary website using blogspot is out since it will take up too much of my time, and time is very important to me.

How how HOW?

Let's just pray that livejournal will be up by Thursday!

Anyone knows how much is a dot com website!!!
