Is Eeyore cute?

Yes he is; what is not so cute though is, that I found this blog entry this morning on my blog - and I hadn't written it:


"eeyore is cute!"

Thinking my account might have been hacked (thanks for treating it good), I started changing my password; while at it, I searched for that line in Google, and guess what: plenty of entries, all from bloggers that use Googles Blogger.com...
(this site has an example summary: www.nationalcenter.org/...)

Seems like an engineer had played a little - updating a huge number of member blogs with a post entry. Few minutes after I checked, by the way, the entry was gone, even though it had appeard on different blogs at different times.

Now how's that, dear blogger.com:

  • RSS-Feed doesn't work for several days, huge complaints by bloggers, no response from blogger.com

  • Comments where gone for several days, then reappeared (didn't check on troubleshooting forum)

  • Now a big number of blogs get automatically updated - sending out a RSS feed of course, too


Not pretty reliable; and I'm still there, because I have customized so much that it is hard to switch (customer relationship by customizing - would be a subject for another blog post...).

Good thing, as there always is one: I now changed my passwords into more secure ones and different ones - something I had been wanting to do, but had never done. Thanks, blogger.com ;-)

And even though my blog has completely anonymous comments allowed, people have told me they couldn't comment. :(

Yes, for a while the textbox was gone (the whole section, actually)
