Netcraft reports that: [snip] A power outage at an Advance Internet hosting facility has hobbled the web sites for the company's chain of more than 30 newspapers, including many large metropolitan dailies. The Advance newspapers have switched to text-based sites to continue publishing, but are currently unable to display advertising, making the outage a potentially costly event. Affected sites include NJ.com, Michigan Live, Cleveland.com, The Portland Oregonian and the online classifieds site BestLocalJobs.com and Best LocalAutos.com. One of the affected papers, The New Orleans Times-Picayune, is in the midst of covering the impact of Tropical Storm Cindy, which hit the New Orleans area yesterday and has left more than 240,000 local residents without power as well.
