Reminder

I'm at Wordpress.com now.

Well fuck it

I'ver been attempting to schedule videos, and Blogger promptly doesn't publish them when scheduled. So for the moment, head over to my WordPress.com site. I've re-enabled comments there and disabled comments here.

Assholes at Google

"Blogger is getting a new look in April. Upgrade Now!"

Uhm, no, you dumb fucks. I'll upgrade when you force me to, and not one minute before. 'Cause see, I *tried* your fucking upgrade, and it sucked more than a male prostitute at a Republican convention. Wordpress is lookin' better day by day, except that they don't allow most of the plugins I run in my margin, like the Twitter plugin and the Blogroll plugin (which is automatically managed by my Google Reader account), which pisses me off too...

If you run a blog via Blogger

[Note: Promoted to the top for a while. See below for actual posts.] Teh Google has made some evil moves and completely broken the stand-alone comments page. It no longer lets you enable email for replies, so if I post on your blog, I never see your reply. *BUT*, the "embedded" comments page -- like what you see if you click on the title of this post -- now works, and *does* include the link to subscribe to email replies by the participants in the thread.

So, how do you enable the "embedded" comments page? Pretty simple.

1. Click on that there little Blogger symbol at the top left of your screen.
2. Click "Settings" on the blog you want to fix
3. Click "Comments" under "Settings"
4. Select the button that says "Embedded below post"
5. Scroll way-ass down to the bottom and click "Save Settings".

And that's that, assuming you're using a standard Blogger template. Which I am, 'cause I was fucked over the *last* time Blogger fucked with their interface 'cause I was using a non-standard template then, and ended up having to dump everything template-wise and go back to a standard Blogger template (just with a different picture behind the header compared to the "stock" template).

Not all here yet

Blogger is still bloggered up. So check out my Wordpress site until Blogger is back in business again.

Odd things happening

Blogger appears to be on the blink. Several comments have appeared in my email but not on the comments pages. If they remain gone in the morning I'll manually re-post them, they're too interesting to remain gone...

Blogger is bloggered

If you're reading this at snarkypenguin.blogspot.com, that means that Blogger is still bloggered. It isn't properly handling private domains. So instead I'm intercepting it at my name server and forwarding it to snarkypenguin.blogspot.com.

What happened?!

Well, Blogger buggered up my name resolution. So I've moved things around a bit. The content is all here, just the name isn't resolving right. Maybe I'll leave things here for a while. Maybe. Hmm...

Morning update: All is operating correctly again. Carry on.

Can I post?

I'm almost disappointed, all the best liberal blogs are being locked out by Blogger.com yet my own little penguin nest on the Internet is still posting fine. Maybe they just like all the penguin droppings littering the place, sob!

Harumph!

Blogger appears to have forced me to move to blog.badtux.net, it refuses to publish to badtux.net. GAH! I *HATE* getting what I pay for! (I.e., nothing). Oh yeah, my template seems to have gotten buggered too. Don't ya love these gawdy colors?!
