What's Wrong With Blogger?

I noticed for the past days that Blogger.com is having downtime errors. I hadn't been a blogger for a very long time so I don't know if this is an ordinary occurrence with this site. I'd like to promote some of my entries in StumbleUpon but I can't personally get through my blog. Anyway, do you experience this kind of trouble with blogger too? Do share. Thanks!

Sometimes I also faced the same issue, but sometimes it worked properly. I guess there is maintenance down time without any announcements.If it happens regularly then that site goes down

I guess so, gshyam! But I have to be honest, you guys make me consider backing up my blogs. In case, blogger decides to put down my site, that is. Wahhh!!hehehe..

@airkulet..one of my friends who's great in blogging told me that a blog can only be shut down if it wasn't opened for a long time. So if you don't want that to happen,you should at least open your blog and log in to blogger for quite some time.

@ beingwell, what is their reason to shut it down! I have seen a lot of blogs that never update for almost 10 years yet they don't bother to shut it down. Any reasons for shutting a blogsite.

Hi there! Yeap, it's working perfect now. It's just that sometimes, blogger takes a long time to load. That's basically my issue with them. I'm clueless as to why... hayst!

No, I've not come across such errors in blogger. Maybe it was a coincidence when u logged in. Try again. Blogger is the best still:)

I am probably responding to this discussion a couple of days late. When I read your discussion first here, I did feel like answering, thinking that it was only you who was facing the problem and that something must be wrong only either with your computer or your service. However, just in less than one hour after reading your discussion, I experienced the same problem. That reminded me of the past such happening when Blogger was actually down. I was as usual uploading my articles to my blog when I faced this problem. That was really very disturbing. At first I thought that it my internet speed that had gone low. But when I opened 4-5 more web sites to check if something is wrong with Blogger or me, then I came to know that it was Blogger which was indeed down. I can't say if that intensity was too great to call it that it's happening for the past days, because it actually happened only once with me in recent days. But it was downtime error for sure. I hope Blogger gets everything set right and these occurrences do not happen over and over again.

Yeah. Even I hope the same. Since this discussion there was no downtime yet. But I had experienced this problem before too, as I had said before. But if this is a passing problem, then it is perfectly fine. And I think it is certainly that only.

It happens every once in a while I guess. I've been getting feedback that it's not only me who's experiencing downtime with Blogger. I hope it's just a normal maintenance thing.

Well, blogger do some maintenance every month and that error you experience is a normal.... Don't worry about it because the maintenance schedule is a normal procedure of blogger to maintain the site capability and integrity

Yup! But they are not notify us in our email. The notification on their maintenance was found in our blogger account. There is a notification there when they do a maintenance...

The only problem that I encountered these days is whenever I upload a picture its really so slow for me to upload it. Plus transferring my domain name to blogger that gives me so much headache and now it already up and running. Maybe the one that gives you prob is stumble upon having their maintenance issue or whatsoever.

Nope, that's not it airkulet. Actually, I don't have the SU toolbar as it tends to slowdown my PC's processing. And, I don't have issues on uploading photos. I am however, interested in your domain. :D How much did it cost you?

none for the first year, they didn't charge me. But I thought it was $0.99 but haven't seen any deduction on my paypal. But after a year the price will go to its regular price of $9.99! Ive been thinking if I can transfer it to other company like moniker who charge only $8.99 per year

I've never had any downtime errors when using Blogger. I hope this problem clears up for you soon.

The only thing I can think of as I use it everyday is that they are doing maitainance. did you see your account? Aside from Blogger you have that "My Account" link to go to where you find your docs, orkut, youtube, reader and all, it is different. They are changing it, it is probably it. Have a wonderful day dear.

Thanks katie. So far, Blogger is working perfectly fine once more. I'm hoping not to experience any downtime today (or ever) since I got bookmarks on SU.

Hello Beingwell, I use blogger everyday and I haven't faced any problem. As you said your blogs are around, but you are unable to access them I think you should look into the help center of the blogger.com to sought your query or else you can post your question there and the administrators will look into your problem and guide you. Hope this works out for you.
