Have been working on PerryFamilyRoots.com and things are coming along nicely.  Have the structure set and navigation well underway.  Dreamhost, (Where this site resides,) and a lot of other hosts with WordPress sites got hit by a major cyber hack this week.  They identified 90,000 sites around the world that were trying to break into WordPress sites on their servers.  Several other sites I was on this week also had the same thing going on.  The servers were overloaded and a lot of  WordPress sites just couldn’t be reached.  Mine included.
