About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

Project Fill-in-the-Gaps

It's all here! I see it!
I see your blog just fine. Did you lose a post or are you having problems seeing the whole thing?
phew. for a couple of hours, all my content was missing.
thanks, guys. i was having an existential crisis.
Oh, I thought you were referring to something else entirely.
Blame gnomes.
What a bizarre item to find in Google Reader. A blog post, wondering where the author's blog has gone. It's like seeing a crazy guy standing on a street corner yelling, "My mouth! I lost my mouth!"
For a second there I was digging in my pocket for change to fling in your direction. :)
I was wondering that, too...glad it's still here!
Wasn't that odd? I didnt' have it occur on any other blog I visited, either.
If a blog falls in the forest ...
It was me.
I was writing, and ran out of words. You had some here, so I took them.
I didn't think you'd miss them.

It was gone when I posted last but the links still worked on the right- hand side. Weird. I was having trouble on Nathan Bransford's site yesterday too.
All cool now tho'.
Phew, so i WASNT going crazy!!! it WAS missing for a little while, i swear!
It happened to me, too, and apparently, different blogger accounts are affected across the board. Hopefully Blogger's working on the bugs still, and we'll all be back to normal soon.
This goes to show the overall difficulty with hosted solutions. Your content isn't your own. If Blogger decides one day to just take your blog down, it is gone. Nothing you can do about it. I'm not saying quit using such services (I actually develop web based software as my day job) just be aware of the consequences.
Maybe we all got sucked through a black hole and this is just a clever cover up.
Blogger was down for a coupla hours — can you belieeeeeve it...?
That keeps happening to me, too. Mostly on my own blog, but a couple times on other blogspot sites. I've had to scroll down to the archive list to click the link name to view the entry. I have no idea why it's happening.
It happened to me last week. I finished a post and suddenly the whole post list was gone. I went to my home page and all the posts were gone.
I freaked and did exactly what you did -- I posted, asking where the heck my blog went!
It came back in fifteen minutes.
Gawd, I hope that never happens again.
I blame my brother.
