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.

Knock 'em dead, and knock blogger. Their photo upload feature has been down for 48 hours and there is absolutely no way to get a real world answer from them or any status report, other than form emails and ancient status postings. I rely on photo uploads to update some newspaper blogs-- I am done with blogger and advising my company as we speak to move away from them

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.

are you saying the upload to post images is fixed because mine is still not working??

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.

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

By
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?

By
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?".

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

By
As people become used to Blogger Following as just another tool to connect people, they start to think about the implications . And we see questions like How do I block someone who's been following my blog secretly? I couldn't see her in my Followers list (hence I couldn't use the "Block this user" link), but I have looked at her profile and could see that she's Following my blog. Following, when you look at the bottom line, is no more than a feed subscription and an icon (possibly) displayed on your blog, and linking back to the profile of the Follower in question. If someone Follows your blog anonymously, all that they get is a subscription to the blog feed. If you publish a feed from your blog, and if the feed is open to anybody (which, right now, is the case ), then it's open to everybody. If someone wants to use Following to subscribe to the feed, you can't stop this. You can't block it before, or after, the fact. You can't Block w
