Blogger explains what happened

From Eric Dondero:

Eddie Kessler, Tech Lead/Manager at Blogger sent out this message to all Blogger users.

From Blogger at Google Central:

Here’s what happened: during scheduled maintenance work Wednesday night, we experienced some data corruption that impacted Blogger’s behavior. Since then, bloggers and readers may have experienced a variety of anomalies including intermittent outages, disappearing posts, and arriving at unintended blogs or error pages. A small subset of Blogger users (we estimate 0.16%) may have encountered additional problems specific to their accounts. Yesterday we returned Blogger to a pre-maintenance state and placed the service in read-only mode while we worked on restoring all content: that’s why you haven’t been able to publish. We rolled back to a version of Blogger as of Wednesday May 11th, so your posts since then were temporarily removed. Those are the posts that we’re in the progress of restoring.

As I mentioned before, we have been with Blogger for over 6 years now. This happens maybe once a year. This time was a bit severe. Still, we appreciate our relationship with Google. And we are our thankful that they are our server.

Readers should be aware that this is going to happen once in a great while.
