Server Issues
From evening there have been a number of the site down issues, and our site https://blurt.blog also got affected.
The exact issue is not known as of yet, but it can be linked to the Hosting service and CDN where domains are having connectivity issues.
So, for now, Blurt blog official frontend is down, and also image upload service is affected.
Solution for Alternative Frontend
As a quick fix, we have started alternative servers which can be accessed via the below URL's.

Note: Image uploads may not work as of now, so check below for how to upload images
Solution for Alternate Wallet
As the official wallet site was not accessible, I have spun up one on my instance which can be accessed via the below URL
https://blurtwallet.tekraze.com/
Note: The wallet app is an official app and I am just hosting the code. I am not saving anything at my end.
Image Upload Solution
As the image upload server is hosted on the same server as the official frontend, image uploads are not working well, but you can still write a post.
So, for uploading images do use other services and get a link which you can paste here to embed images. Just like one URL, I pasted below which directly links to an image.
