Server Issues
From evening there have been a number of the site down issues, and our site https://blurt.blog also got affected.
The exact issue is not known as of yet, but it can be linked to the Hosting service and CDN where domains are having connectivity issues.
So, for now, Blurt blog official frontend is down, and also image upload service is affected.
Solution for Alternative Frontend
As a quick fix, we have started alternative servers which can be accessed via the below URL's.
Both sites have valid SSH certificates, so you can log in securely with your private posting key. If using Whalevault, don't forget to give the app access to those domains by right-clicking the app icon. Both are witness and active users, so don't get worried about losing any password. The code is the same as the Official Blurt Blog App

by @freakeao, you can support him by witness vote
Note: Image uploads may not work as of now, so check below for how to upload images
Solution for Alternate Wallet
As the official wallet site was not accessible, I have spun up one on my instance which can be accessed via the below URL
https://blurtwallet.tekraze.com/
Note: The wallet app is an official app and I am just hosting the code. I am not saving anything at my end.
Image Upload Solution
As the image upload server is hosted on the same server as the official frontend, image uploads are not working well, but you can still write a post.
So, for uploading images do use other services and get a link which you can paste here to embed images. Just like one URL, I pasted below which directly links to an image.

Image hosting sites you can use.
1. HackMD
Check this for how to use HackMd https://blurtlatam.com/blurtutorials/@vickyguevara/como-subir-imagenes-editor-markdown
2. ImgBB
3. Skynet
4. Hive.blog
(Just upload images in the editor and then you can copy the link to that image)
5. Imgur
Here is also another list, which you can check in 3rd party blog

So, these were the important updates, I may share more updates when the issues are fixed and services are back to normal.
You can support me by giving a vote to my Blurt Witness as I am doing dev work, Hosting an RPC, and now frontend.

@tekraze
I think for the image uploading issue we can use hive or steem post editor and directly paste that uploaded image link on blurt post editor. It will easily work. But I think this problem should be resolved soon.
Hi, the issue is currently resolved, but as I mentioned in the post. You can still use other sources.
Thanks

I knew the first post I would see after the server downtime on blurt would be your post addressing the issue. As always, you have once again provided a solution to a problem. I really love your determination in helping the blurt world. Thank you and happy new year.
Will this problem last long? Hopefully it will be resolved quickly and back to normal.
It depends on how long the CDN and cloud services take, might be a nice idea to wait for a day.

Thank you @tekraze but now everything is fine!
Right?
Can post on Blurt right now?
Yepp official servers are up
Thank you so much for replying...
For image uploading problems we can use the Hive or Steam Post Editor and paste the uploaded image link directly into the blurted post editor. It will work easily.
Thank you.
