  Did you take any special measures for protecting your blog, like caching ? Or are you running beefy enough hardware ?

    I was able to get hold of my hosting provider (virtuaal.com) and upgrade to their biggest package in about 15 mins.

    Indeed, need to update that theme.. Glad the reader view is there.
