A sudden power outage has knocked millions of Six Apart Ltd.’s LiveJournal blogs offline.

The power failure occurred on Friday evening at the Internap data center affected more than 100 servers that keep LiveJournal’s blogging network up and running.

“LiveJournal is currently completely inaccessible, and we’re waiting on Internap for an estimate when power will be restored. Once power is restored, the service will be brought back up slowly so that we can ensure data integrity,” Six Apart said in a notice. “We’ll [provide an] update with an estimate for when the service will be brought back up once we hear back from Internap.”

On the LiveJournal site, visitors are being directed to an powerloss update page that provides more information on the battle to get the 5.6 million blogs back online.
