Time to shift?
Over the last few days, I have seen major problems with Blogger (or Blogspot, if that’s the name you prefer).
- Wierd outages : Was trying to update my blog a few days back. It updated and then told me to republish my index 10 minutes later. I tried in half an hour - only to get the same message again. Finally, after 4 hours (and a browser change from Firefox to Opera), the index was republished.
- Slow page loads : Once in a while the blog page just keeps loading and loading and loading..ok you get the drift.
- Comment trouble : Comment numbers do not increment once in a while. Even after refreshing. If I click on the comments link, I can see the comment, but it displays 0 comments.
- Comment mail : I’ve set up my site to drop me a line when a comment it posted. This too seems to be off. The last two comments that are up on the site are not in my mail (and yes, for what it’s worth - I did check my junk mail folder).
I’m not the only one experiencing this trouble. I just hope it gets better - don’t want to shift all these posts elsewhere 
Adios!

I agree with kapil. Blogger is getting way too error-prone. It already was way low on features.
Time to shift, indeed.

i think i detect a bug pattern here. when i commented first, it showed 0 comments, yet kapil’s comment was online. the moment i commented, it showed 2 comments as it should.
the same thing happened with my last post - the first comment went unnoticed, but the moment the 2nd comment came, it was back to normal - and it immediately sent in the mail for the 2 comments together.
