Blogger is bloggered, as usual :-(

Whenever I try to view my blog from Firefox, all I get is the Blogger dashboard. If, on the other hand, I view it from Konquerer (where I do not have a cookie logged in), I see my blog.

I'm not sure what the problem is here. If I view a mirror of the blog published to my own web site, I see my blog. If I view another blog that I have posting priviliges to, I see the blog. So it's not a content problem with the template. It's something on their web server reacting to the user cookie. I'm just irritated that I have to fire up a different browser to see my very own blog.

I could, of course, relocate my blog to my own domain. But I do not have the bandwidth at my current ISP and thus would need to host a server with a hosting company. And frankly I lack the interest in managing my own server, I design Linux distributions for a living and don't wish to do so as a hobby too.

Anyhow, if things seem to be going oddly here, now you know why: I been Bloggered!

  1. John at AmericaBlog posted about the situation with FireFox. Said they had been alerted and were working on a solution.

  2. I am having the same problem with Firefox too. I contacted blogger about it as well. Sheesh.

  3. OK. I can read it in firefox or konqueror, but I can't get to the comment form in either. IE 6 running on wine is successful in getting to the comment page. This is ridiculous.

  4. Thanks for posting on this - because I thought maybe it was just me. HOW IRRITATING!

  5. TBogg apparently had the same problem. He said clearing the cache seemed to do the trick.

    Tools> Options> Cache> Clear.

  6. I went to make a comment on this last night, and Blogger claimed to be down for a half hour of maintennance... which it claimed to be doing for the next 2 hours.

    You get what you pay for, sadly.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
