    I just noticed this.

    It's rather annoying, as I just updated!

    Curse you, Blogger!

      I managed to publish not long before Blogger exploded, so I should be alright.

      I HOPE.

      9:50 am central time zone, United States of America. That's -5 GMT (daylight saving time, as our leaders call it) now - -6 GMT in the winter.

      I'm getting the same error message.

    nudding... forget that!
  21. Norski
    Not good.

    I got this a few minutes ago:

    "Server Error
    The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.

    "Please try again in 30 seconds."

    51 minutes (the time since your first post is over a hundred "30 seconds."

    Not good.
  22. myonlyphoto
    Don't they have schedules, I think something went wrong.
  23. crpitt
    Blogspot isn't
  24. Jaya
    I wish I could figure out how to have
    my blogspot content showing up at my
    domain name, catonmyhead.com... I know
    you can do it, but when I tried, following
    the instructions at blogger, I couldn't
    figure it out. I forget where I got hung
    up on it now, but there was some bit of
    code you had to find and I could NOT find
    it. Grrrrr.

    So, instead, I just set my domain name
    to point to my blogger site, so at least
    I can give out the easier to remember
    url of my domain to friends... I wish
    I'd known about all this BEFORE I began
    blogging!!!

    I'm going off to bed soon, been up all
    night. I hope Blogger is back up again
    well before I get up!!
  25. lupideloop
    Nah.. nah... It seems yesterday they posted an announcement that they will be doing maintenance today, although I missed it!
  26. lordlikely
    I hope they fix the leaky roof in my blog.
    1. lupideloop
      lol

      And fix the toilet, wash the floor, put out the clothes for drying, wash the dishes and make dinner!
  27. fated82

  28. lupideloop
    It's up again!
    1. myonlyphoto
      ....and it seems sharper and faster lol
  29. myonlyphoto
    This is only blog going down, can you imagine the whole internet going down - I think you will notice the addiction then...:)))). We should all check our blood pressure, I bet you it is high!
  30. crpitt
    HOOOOOORAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!
  31. bloggingmix
    I checked it up and it's up again.
  32. tanyusha
    It's BACK!!!
    1. lupideloop
      Yep...

      Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

      LOL
  33. ruthjen
    It's a long 30 seconds...why can't they put up a more informative message?
  34. lupideloop
    Maybe just maybe they live in a time warp... and it was just 30 seconds for them! But not for us!
  35. lordlikely
    Huzzah! My precious journals have returned to me!

    HOORAY!
  36. Fartmachine
    It's working! wooohooo

    I just hope that this has given those of us who are host our blogs on google blogger some food for thought. I guess its time we got our domains? What do u think?

    By the way, can someone tell me (privately) step by step how I can migrate from nthambazale.blogspot.com to a dot com domain?
    1. Norski
      With respect, any system will experience some level of imperfection. In this case, an hour or more of down time.

      The other servers I've dealt with have, when possible, chosen a time when most users are not using the system. Since Google's service is global, my guess is that their period of least service is not central time, USA.

      That's assuming that this was a planned break in service.

      Getting a domain, which I understand to mean getting a domain name, like mycoolsite.com, would still leave bloggers in need of a server to host their blog, or require them to maintain their own servers.

      This is a serious question: does Google's Blogger/BlogSpot really have a substandard record of service?
    2. Profitline
      hey clement, here you can change to a custom domain name from blogspot to dot com

  38. Norski
    10:00 central time, USA (-5 GMT, by my reckoning).

    One of my blogs is back!

    Good news.

    The rest of my blogs are back, too.

    More good news.

    I've been having intermittent trouble with blogger/blogspot for some time. This down time may be worth the lost traffic.
  39. v1ctorya
    It's up already. No biggie.
  40. monkeytale
    I knew if I took a shower it would be up and running when I returned. My apologies for not thinking of this earlier. :))
  41. Norski
    Thanks for starting this thread!

    I've put a 'sorry about that' message on all but one of my blogs. Narcissus-X will take special handling - artistic types are temperamental.

    Good to be able to discuss this with fellow-bloggers.
  42. Profitline
    most of the custom domain bloggers are down for a long time, are any of you affected on the custom domain?
  43. crkian
    I see wordpress went down earlier
  44. Profitline
    yup crkian, i notice some as well...don;t noe whats happening, i smell hackers around trying to shut servers, possible?
  45. Profitline
    you are on self host?
  46. Blackysky
    blogger down i guess they getting to popular too... after the last big crash i make the move to self host ...
