Blogger problems?

Is anyone else experiencing intermittent problems with Blogger? Over the last few days, Blogger has either been very slow, or unreachable. Maybe it's just this stupid, ancient computer of mine. It's very frustrating, because nearly every time I come here to post something - computer says no! Grr.

What's up with Blogger? Part 2

I forgot to mention something in my previous post. I received an email comment notification for another user's blog the other day. Luckily, I know Chris, and was able to contact him to let him know I'd received a notification for a comment posted to his Welcome to Gower site. That was the weirdest glitch of all. Oddly enough, Chris only lives a mile or two from me. It was odd enough that I got a comment notification for someone else's blog. It was doubly strange that it was a comment intended for someone I know, who lives nearby. What the fluff is up with Blogger?

What's up with Blogger?

Anyone know why Blogger is so messed up? First of all, the spellcheck function died. Several people have had blog layout problems. Also, Blogger users who have more than one sidebar, have lost the horizontal scroll bar in the layout screen, leaving their right-hand widget column chopped off, like this:

If all that isn't bad enough, I'm now getting error messages when I try to comment on other people's blogs - the dreaded '404 Page Not Found' message. Get your act together, Blogger, before I (and countless others) abandon you.

BTW, if you have a three column blog layout which has been cut off by the lack of a scroll bar, there is a workaround. You may not be able to click the edit buttons of the widgets in the right hand column, but you can still drag the widgets over to the left hand column. Once they're there, you can edit them like any other widget. Once done, return them to the right hand column and save your changes. A pain in the butt, I know, but at least it means you can still edit your layout, until Blogger sorts this mess out.
