The Daily Coyote

Apparently the blog "The Daily Coyote" was locked as a spam blog, pending investigation. The owner then convinced its readers to conduct a DOS attack against Google Blogger Help, until it was restored to operational status, in the impression that such action would hasten Bloggers reaction.

It was restored 7th of April 2008, and the owner admitted the same, in a post on the blog. Obviously unlocked.

Yet the useless posts continue in Blogger Help Group. This prevents other people, needing help, from being helped promptly.

To the owners of the blog:
You need to again email your readers, and instruct them to knock it off. You aren't bothering Blogger, but you are interfering with other bloggers being helped.


Blogger has a very real problem with spam blogs. If your blog is blocked, or if it's removed, it's not done so trivially, nor are you the only one being so oppressed.

Right now, Daily Coyote whinings are approaching classification as a Denial Of Service Attack.

Go away.

Adding A Link To Your Blog Post

Occasionally, you see a very odd, cryptic complaint I just added a link in my blog, but the link vanished! No, it wasn't your imagination.

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".
