  "as a recation to the attacks in london we set up a website called 
werenotafraid.com, and we are running it on a wordpress blog. i am not 
pimping the project here, my questions is of a somewhat technical nature.

the project has really taken off, we had 11 million hits in just a few 
days, but we had to notice that the wordpress software was not able to 
deal with the load:"

It's been linked from the BBC too so the problem will remain. I've 
pointed the guy at staticise-reloaded, but maybe this number of hits 
needs something more ?
