Blogger Outage In North America

Over the past weekend, numerous bloggers in various areas of North America (Canada / USA) have reported an problem
Blogger is currently unavailable
when trying to login to Blogger / access the dashboard, and to publish posts. The problem is most frequently reported by bloggers in the MidWestern regions of Canada / USA, but has been reported in Canada as far west as British Columbia.

In the rollup discussion, Blogger Support provides a status
Thanks for your patience and help everyone. This is now fixed.

Some idea of the scope of the problem might help Blogger focus on the problem a bit. If you are observing this problem, some details would be good.
  • What ISP do you use?
  • Where are you located (City, State, Country)?
  • A PathPing or TraceRt log might be useful.

I can NOT EVEN BEGIN to tell you how LIVID I am about this "isolated access issues in certain regions" crap! I just dreamed up the most read-worthy online-content I've dreamed up IN WEEKS. WHY did this have to happen TODAY OF ALL DAYS??? WHY???

#sigh Okay, nobody panic, I'm calm now. I really am grateful for the opportunity to vent about this to someone who actually understands #smilesandhugs (I get so annoyed at online-community-members who just assume that "If it works just fine on MY computer, it should work just fine on YOUR computer unless YOU YOURSELF are doing something wrong" #ReallyPissesMeOff )

It is a good thing that I've got other blogs on other sites, although this Blogger Dot Com site really does seem to be more popular (or so I've been told, anyhow)

Anyhow, I guess it's all good or whatever (btw: You've just acquired a new subscriber to this blog: Me #smilesandhugs )

Glad I checked your blog yesterday. I wasn't having any problem but some of my blogging friends were and I sent them your link.

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?".

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

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
