Blogger.com Problem with Archives

There is currently a problem with Blogger.com in viewing past Archives. When you click on January thru April, you will notice that only the March and April posts are viewable. I am contacting Blogger.com about this problem.

Today -- 3 April 2006 -- Blogger Support emailed me the following which includes my response:
Thank you for your help, Blogger!

I've discovered that posts disappear when I try to add items like RSS feeds or StatCounters. Because of this difficulty, I've decided not to bother with this for now.

I pasted in my saved template and all is as it should be!

Thanks,
Fiona Torrance

My Blog Is Locked - Was Locked!

Blogger.com locked my blog on Wednesday morning - March 8, 2006 - just when I attempted to post a discussion about Internet2. I even deleted the draft on Internet2 to see if I could continue posting without success.

Even though I have "clicked here" and followed the instructions to have my blog unlisted as a Spam Blog so that I can post again, Blogger.com have not unlocked it. In fact, in 8 days time, my blog could be deleted -- according to Blogger.com.

I received an email from Blogger Support yesterday saying that that my blog is now unlocked. Here is the email:

Since I am posting this draft on Friday March 10, 2006 at 9:00 am - it is clear that I still cannot publish and my blog is still locked. Click on the picture above to enlarge and view.

I have emailed and emailed Blogger Support too - time is running out Blogger.com...

THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY A DRAFT AND AT 11:47 AM MARCH 10 - Biz Blog Review is unlocked! Thank you Blogger.com (and anyone else who helped!).

Deleted Posts Have A Life!

(Click on picture to enlarge)

Does blogger.com have an ethical responsibility to inform their registered users about the "infinite?" existence of their deleted posts?

Approximately two weeks ago, I encountered some problems with my blog - my profile and my blogroll disappeared into the ether, so I went in search of them. What I discovered in the course of this search was all of my deleted posts - alive and well in the blogger.com search engine for anyone to peruse (Example: BUAD 490 Independent Study Proposal).

When initially registering with blogger.com and setting up my site, I encountered no guidance instructing me that all deleted posts would remain on the blogger.com site for future access. Although the entries that I deleted are professional in their presence, it did concern me that as a registered inhabitant of blogger.com I was not informed of their continued "life after death" so to speak.

Other bloggers, having deleted a post perhaps considered inappropriate after the thought, may not know that their inappropriate content is still accessible by anybody searching the blogger.com site. I think blogger.com has a responsibility to make this fact more transparent to their registered users. What do you think and why?
