Why The Hijackings?

This is frustrating as hell. I've been suspecting this situation since 5/2, when Geeta reported Temporarily Out of Service. Being as I'm not an employee of Blogger, just another Blogger like everybody else, I have to sit on the sidelines with everybody, and watch the fun (NOT).

I can only remind each person with a hijack situation, to Report The Problem To Blogger Support. And anybody who has a clue about this situation, if it differs from what I am writing here, Please! let us know.

But I suffer, as does everybody else, while I wait for my turn at being hijacked. And wonder WTF I'm doing to protect myself (if I am), and why I haven't been hijacked.

Why (how) are all of these blogs getting hijacked?

The Possibilities

One of the recent victims of the hijackings has a blog where discussions about these possibilities are in progress. Your feedback, either here, or there, will be appreciated.

The Bottom Line
Somehow we have to help Blogger Support realise that there is a problem, and then help them see a pattern, so they can identify the problem. Whether the problem is with us or them, WE are the ones who suffer. To them, it's an 8 x 5 job. We spend hella more time worrying. Or suffering. And I'm not really sure which is worse. Being hijacked. Or waiting to be hijacked.

One of the problems is that, when there is a problem, nobody wants to diagnose the problem. They just want it fixed. Now. So the bad guys hijack our lives, with impunity.

WTF is this when a bad guy can abuse us, over and over, and the only solution is to move to a Wordpress blog?

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?".
