"Phillipe is standing on it" basically

Someone said to me the other day that she could not post to her old blog, because it was “broken.” She said she had hired someone who was supposed to “fix it.” I asked her how this could possibly be true, what it could possibly mean. She explained that she used to be able to post to the blog, and then one day it stopped letting her. As in, she can still log in and use the software or whatever, but when she hits the post button nothing happens. In retrospect how else would a blog break.

In kind of a perfect way this is the opposite of the thing I like where world things describe themselves as though they were on the internet (see ClermontGreene.com, Garbage's Version 2.0, Lifehacker, Sprite Remix, etc.).
