Unbelievable!

They updated Blogger Status!

They finally have a new entry Wednesday, March 15, 2006

We’re doing some maintenance on one of our Blog*Spot servers. Some blogs will be inaccessible while this is going on. Everyone is able to publish, however, regardless of whether or not the blog is down for maintenance.

We apologize to those blog owners who are affected by this. This partial outage is necessary to fix some of the transient Blog*Spot problems that have popped up recently.

Update: The maintenance is complete.

Again, posted after the work was done. Thanks, Pete.

So, the outage 3/10 - 3/13 was a transient Blog*Spot problem. That's real useful.

Several blogs including mine:

http://vikingpundit.blogspot.com

and Stolen Thunder and Betsy's Page are "NOT FOUND". Blogger, I'm sure, is doing nothing.

From the BS note (Blogger Support = BS too).

If you continue to have trouble, please clear your browser's cache and cookies, then log in to Blogger again.

Has anyone tried this? I'm still having a problem with mine.

Yes, of course.

Since the problem is so intermittent, though, it's impossible to say for sure whether the problem is solved by clearing cache & cookies, or just by retrying.

It's like the old phone company (you remember them) error message:
If you feel that you have reached this number in error, hang up and try again.

Again, Blogger Support = BS.

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.

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?".

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.
