In my previous post, The Real Blogger Status - Beta, I predicted that the Blogger Beta would cause resource reallocation within Blogger, and stubborn holdouts who continue to use Classic Blogger will soon find themselves without service or support.
Today, in Google Blogger Help - Publishing Trouble: Is something wrong with Blogger today? (and there is an open ended question that in itself should have acquired 200% more trolls than it did), I see a copy of the latest botmail:
What the hell? Personal responses?? When have they ever provided personal responses? And please don't try and count Blogger Employee appearing in Google Blogger Help as a personal response.
This was a true C&C moment.
(Edit): In Google Blogger Help - Something Is Broken: Unable to provide responses - because they're trying to fix Blogger Beta, I see just one more bit of bullshite
Yeah, if assistance consists of
And this was yet another a true C&C moment, and the poster has been warned twice now. Label your posts
Please.
(Edit 9/28): Have the problems started this week?

"I lost six months of posts recently when the switch to Blogger Beta screwed up tremendously. Once I found the "Talk to Us" link, I found Blogger quite responsive. They got everything back up and running pretty quickly.
I'm not going to try the switch again until it's a little less beta, though I'm looking forward to category functionality.

I won't advise anybody else to either.
Migration Strategy.
But he'd best wear asbestos underwear.
I do find the beta a much better solution for the HTML or CSS challenged, though. After helping a lot of the Villagers on BLOG VILLAGE with various problems, I can see that there's a real need for a blog platform that does not require coding knowledge.
You're certainly correct in stating that CS is a joke, though.
