Annoyed

Well a few weeks ago we had the issue where Blogger was down for an entire day.  It ate our posts and our comments and left us all a little annoyed and lonely without being able to socially connect.

Now today I can't comment on anyone's blog.  I can read your blog, but I can't comment.  Apparently this is only happening to "select" users.  Well, lucky me...I'm one of those special users.  Do I win a prize?

Seriously, I have never had issues with Blogger until the last few weeks.  It's bringing me down!!

That's all - just wanted to share my frustration.  If you are sharing my same frustration leave me a comment....oh wait, you can't!!



UPDATE:  Well, as some of you have already figured out.  You can leave an Anonymous comment by selecting anonymous vs. google under the comment profile.  But my normal ability to comment is still not working!

    Thankfully I haven't had any issues today. All this has me very nervous about loosing my whole blog, considering moving to another blog service. But I've tried wordpress in the past and I'm just too dumb to figure it out. I speak HTML not whatever language wordpress uses.

    Sorry that Blogger is launching a personal campaign against you in the social-media world. Hadn't seen any issues either until the recent hiccups. I'll just imagine the comment you would have left on my blog, and assume it was witty, insightful, humorous, thought-provoking, etc. That's how I like to picture my own comments. I'd rather not pay attention to reality :)

    You know, that explains why I couldn't comment on someone's blog yesterday! I thought it was a hiccup in the wireless. Let's see if it lets me leave this one. Either way, what a huge PITA. I hope it comes back for you soon!

    It goes through spurts where I can or can't comment...but I'm going to get my blog printed into a blurb book for fear of losing my stuff!

    Although I had issues leaving comments and just friended people on Facebook or Twitter and left them comments there.

    I have been having issue's too. Very frustrating and your not alone.

    When I go to make a comment I sign in under my goggle account but I uncheck keep signed in. That has helped me to leave comments. Maybe that will help.

    I don't know if you read Jamoosh over at the last mile lounge or not, but he was kind enough to offer a way out of that for most of us. For your own blog, go to the dashboard, pull down settings, go to the comments tab, and then select "full page" option...this will make it so that others can comment on your blog. Hopefully word will get around for everyone!

    Glad it's not just me who's struggling with leaving comments, and it's only on some blogs.

    I noticed you'd commented anonymously on my blog the other day. Now I know why. I'd be annoyed if I was a "select user" as well.

    The monkey picture is great though.

    You should win a prize! Blogger has really thrown a curveball at all of us. I hope you can comment again soon.

    I am able to comment but Blogger still seems to be having issues. My link to "Followers" on my blog is blank even though I have followers, it isn't showing up on blog. I noticed it on several other blogs too, including yours. So frustrating! Hope these issues get resolved soon.
