Judging from what I'm reading here, there's a real epidemic of this going on at Google/Blogspot, and resolution is apparently often quite slow.
I am starting to think that Blogspot is a sinking ship that I had best abandon, and I think any other bloggers who use Blogspot might be well advised to explore other options themselves.
Update II: David is back at the old place (Google/Blogspot), so hold off on changing bookmarks.
I see that although I have been spared the "spam blog" nonsense inflicted on David and many other bloggers, it has been brought to my attention that Internet Explorer was blocking Armed and Safe. That apparently was related to the SiteMeter hit counter I use--removing that fixed the problem.
I'm so glad the internet keeps "improving," aren't you?
It happened to me once. It took them a couple of days to fix it.
ReplyDeleteDavid has put up a sidebar link to this Blogger Buzz post, in which they acknowledge the problem, and say they're working on it, "despite it being Friday afternoon".
ReplyDeleteHow nice of them.
ReplyDeleteI understand, and agree with, the adage "you get what you pay for," and I haven't forgotten that Google/Blogspot is free, but why offer a service--even a free one--if you aren't going to take some care to make damned sure it works? It seems pretty obvious that they changed something that shut all these blogs down--why the hell don't they just undo the clearly harmful change?
Thanks for the H/T Kurt!

You're more than welcome, Chris, and I believe your message is one that needs all the attention that can be brought to it. My tiny corner of the internet won't help much in that regard, but I intend to do what I can.
