Error 400 Series Symptoms - May 30, 2011

We've been noting Error 400 reports, from people trying to use Blogger, for some time. Tonight, we're seeing a significant increase in the reporting level for this symptom.

Blogger Support has fixed the problem.
We've rolled back the change that caused issues you have observed, so you should be able to clear the cookies for www.blogger.com and fix the problem.

Now that the problem has been fixed, you'll probably get best results, if you're seeing these symptoms, by clearing cache, cookies, and sessions, then restarting the browser.

If you're able, you may possibly provide details that will help understand the reason for the problem.
  • What specific number ("400", "403", "404") are you seeing?
  • Where are you located (country, province / state, city)?
  • What service provider do you use?
  • What type of service is this? Cable ("television" network), Cellular Phone ("3g" / "4g" network), DSL ("voice" network), satellite, wi-max ("wireless to your home") will all contribute to this type of problem, in different ways.
  • What operating system do you run (name, version), on your computer?
  • What version of Blogger are you using? Draft (blue "B" logo) or Production (orange "B" logo)?
  • What Blogger wizard are you using / trying to use?

Me newbie to this tech. Learning a lot here. Requested to provide email subscription to posts ( feed burner). Thanking You Wish regards.
I too, am experiencing the Error 400 Bad Request. I am using DSL and as a browser Firefox. When I log in through Internet Explorer, it seems to be fine. All my other google account functions are accessible, it's only blogger.

Oh, I so glad I found this blog. I know that Blogger is a free service, but c'mon guys. You have to be a LITTLE responsive/contactable!
Anyway, I edited a post scheduled to go up this morning and got the "Bad Request Error 400" a few times last night before I gave up and went to bed. Getting back on this morning, it was still going on. I use Safari and have been having issues with Blogger not allowing me to comment on new blogs so I had changed my cookie settings to accept all. Perhaps that's related? Anyway, when I took your advice and emptied my cache and cleared cookies, it worked again.
Thanks Real Blogger Status!

Seems to be a Firefox issue. The second time this has happened with FF this year. I'm using FF 5.0, on Vista Home. Error message is "400 Bad Request". UK.

No problem using other browsers.

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?".
