Is Blogger broken?

seun · May 13, 2011

I've been having problems with my blog since yesterday. I'm getting either a 'page not found' or 'not available at the moment'. I've just tried a couple of other blogs from people on AW and looks like they've got the same issue. Anyone know anything about this?

I can get to your blog just fine.

Same here. You can read the blog, but try signing in or viewing comments and you get this message :

Blogger is currently unavailable

Yeah, they are having a few issues. From the status site:

We've identified a problem rendering some blogs containing the popular posts widget. Our engineers are fixing the issue and the it should be resolved shortly.

However, i'm having trouble with every blogger blog i visit. I haven't been able to leave comments all day, and sometimes the newest post is mysteriously missing.

Yep, that's what's happened to me. Glad it's not just me. I thought I was doing something wrong (or stupid. Or both).

I don't have a popular posts widget and my blog is also affected.

According to blogger they're restoring the deleted posts now and hope to be up and running 'soon', whatever that means.

I'm getting the same messages.

Y'all should follow Blogger on Twitter; you get the status messages that way.

I've been having the same problem. I guess I won't be doing a Friday post this week. It's been eating some of the comments people have left as well.

It's been down since Wednesday night, when I tried to post. *sigh*

That's way too high-tech for me. I didn't know what an app was until two days ago.

brainstorm77 · May 13, 2011

My post from yesterday is gone. I hope it gets returned!

Jersey Chick · May 13, 2011

My comments have gone *poof*.

**kicks Blogger**

Maybe that'll help.

rhymegirl · May 13, 2011

I hadn't blogged in a while and decided to do so yesterday.

Ha ha. Nope. I couldn't post a new blog post and I can't visit other people's blogs.

I couldn't even log in to my own account.

Knock on wood, in a day or so it should be ok. Your content, including comments, goes into a database.

They're having problems with the front-end, so your content should be ok.

It may take them a couple days to roll back all the sites once they fix the underlying problem.

seun · May 13, 2011

It's looking better now although my post from the day before yesterday is AWOL.

Jersey Chick · May 13, 2011

Wait... can't someone just wave a magic wand and *poof* make it all appear just like that? **snaps fingers**

They kinda are, but the rollback and then the roll forward has to propagate to all the servers.

Blogger official Update Here:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/blogger-is-back.html

Basically, they're restoring posts and comments, but it could take a while to get to everyone.

scarletpeaches · May 13, 2011

Kinda makes me glad I hadn't posted for a week, then.

beckahrah · May 13, 2011

They finally fixed my lost posts. I guess it's mostly up and running properly again, although my comments from yesterday are still AWOL.

Y'all should frequently use Blogger's built in back up/export option, and then email the archive to yourself or something.

Fenika · May 13, 2011

I'm also glad I haven't updated my blog in a week... fortnight... month... Nevermind.

All seems sorted now. Hurray.
