Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Oh yea, what's really odd is I cannot accept the cert warning and visit
 Tor Blog. There is no option to accept the cert when using Firefox 8. That
 is very strange, I have never seen that before, i.e., being prevented for
 visiting a site due to lack of optoin to 'accept' the SSL cert.

 Also, the cert warning lists the SSL cert for www.westtell.com as self-
 signed, and I'm pretty sure Tor Project does not use self singed certs.

 I have tried to re-load the page many times and I keep getting the cert
 warning. However, I just tired again (at about 10:52 am east coast time)
 and I didn't get the cert warning, the blog loaded just fine.

 I'm a knob when it comes to SSL certs and such, but this does seem to be
 quite alarming, as if someone has access to Tor certs and is attacking Tor
 Project somehow.
