Blogger Goes Apeshit

Since sometime yesterday I've had a heck of a time publishing to my blog using Blogger and apparently I'm not the only one. In fact, I'd be surprised if anyone will be able to read this entry since I'm essentially unable to publish!

Blogger allows you to publish your blog to your own server via FTP. In your settings you specify your FTP server, user name, and password and when you hit Publish on their web interface their servers upload the HTML files that make up your blog to your server.

However, since yesterday, FTP upload has been finicky at best. When you attempt to publish, Blogger just sits there displaying the "Publishing..." message you see above. Sometimes it will eventually display a message saying "Your publish is taking longer than expected" but offers no real explanation.

It seems the folks over at Blogger have yet to realize the issue, but the morning is just still young. Perhaps they're over at the Android wing of the building hanging balloons for the SDK release party. This is the part where I normally say, "I'll keep you posted" but I probably will be unable to!
