Holy crap! Blogger is down!

I'm late posting tonight because I was having a hard time thinking of anything to write about. A halfway good idea came to me while I was watching The Bachelor, but when I came back to the computer to write it up, I could no longer view my Velvet Sacks page.

If you can see this, you know that I was able to log on to blogger.com, but whether this will post or not is a mystery. For now, I'm gonna forget about what I intended to write and hit the "publish" button to see if I can get this out there in time to keep my posting-something-every-day-during-November streak going.

Since I may not be able to see for myself whether this really and truly posted, could you possibly do me a favor? If you read this before midnight of November 13th, would you please send me a short e-mail (velvetsacks@eatel.net) to let me know it's up? I'd be so grateful. Here goes!

(Phew!)

UPDATE: Well, Blogger seems to be working again. That was certainly weird. I could view some blogspot blogs and not others, and there was an "access denied" type of message when I tried to view my own. If you sent me an e-mail, I appreciate it, but guess what...now my e-mail server is down. It's that kind of night, folks.

  1. Sent you a note but thought I would leave a comment too. Odd blogger error...each time I tried to pull up yours and a couple of other blogs I would get this message that I had been 'forbidden access'. It was starting to make me feel a little paranoid! ;) Carmon

  2. Carmon, thanks for posting a comment; it helped me see that I wasn't alone in Blogger's "shunning" last night. (Your e-mail never did show up.)

  3. Happened to me too. Weird how it was only some of the bloggspot blogs.

  4. this is exactly why I left blogspot. I couldnt deal with the outages any longer. when they blocked me from my own blog that was the final straw. DENIED. I don't have permission to access my own blog! That's cow pies I tell ya. so, I went to wordpress. so far they haven't "shunned" me or anything and I like being able to label entries. so far i'm fine with wordpress.

Your comments just might be the very best thing about blogging. I love it when you care enough to share your own thoughts here, so go ahead and say what's on your mind. Toss your own spices into this pot of blog stew.
