Hey guys, first off, congrats! You'll get many snippets of advice here, and tons of web resources to chase down and read. If you want to revert back to a live site quickly, may I recommend direct help? I'll step in first and offer my services. Or ask here and I'm sure other HNers will step up as well. I've troubleshooted MySQL slow queries. I've done memcaching and static file hosting on CDNs. If it takes a ton of effort, we can figure out compensation once the site is back up and running like a charm. If you don't have any money, list my name somewhere and help me build my personal reputation. :) HTH. I've also sent an email to Dan.
