Another Day, Another Blogger Script Update

So I was happily updating this blog, The Real Blogger Status. I had just finished a labourious update to Image Test, and hit Publish. But instead of the old, familiar
Your blog post published successfully!
I got a surprise.




What?? Why Now???


Time to login again?

OK OK


So I logged in again, and eventually, the post seems to have published.

Blogger is many things, but seldom boring. It looks like they just pushed another script update. For some, this may mean a cache and cookies clearing exercise.

And after you clear cache and cookies, check browser settings and security on your computer. In particular, make sure that "*.blogger.com", not just "www.blogger.com", is a trusted web site. And finally, update your bookmarks, and make sure that you login to Blogger properly.

Now Blogger makes changes to its code frequently, and too often causes problems when they do this. Sometimes, they admit to causing problems.

And sometimes, you can cause your own problems. Besides the many settings on your computer (discussed above), you need to be aware of which script you're using, for instance, when editing a post.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.
