Betsy Newmark, one of my favorite bloggers who I've been honored to have guest-blog here, is down. I asked her what happened. She e-mails about her nightmare:
Evil Blogger has lost the page - server problems. They are the most unhelpful organization.
You can't reach any human being and all I get are form letters saying that all the problems have been resolved. I'm just hoping that they fix their problem and I get back on.
I don't have time to hassle with setting up a new page.
She adds:
All I get are their automated messages that are of no help whatsoever. Then they put up lies on their status page saying that it really was just a tiny problem and it's all fixed now.
Maybe if they get some notoriety out there, they'll take more action. Here is their lame help message. Thanks so much.
Maybe one of your readers has a suggestion of what I can do to get my blog back other than starting over from scratch.
Even worse, someone else has now poached her URL.
Can someone help?
As if you needed another reason to leave Blogspot, here’s one for you:
They can delete your site without notice and won’t even respond to your inquires.
Looks fine to me:

Did you check the date...Tuesday, March 14...when they got hacked.
several sites on Blogspot, notably Betsy Newmark’s and Eric Lindholm’s, have suddenly disappeared owing to a glitch at Blogger.
Some jerk even snagged Betsy’s old URL and is squatting on it.

Thanks for the ping!
Blogger’s been having some problems and somebody named Sam has stolen Betsy’s URL.
I clicked the link this morning - and got a "this blog is under maintenance" notice. Later, it looked okay, but it was from a few days ago. And now... there's nothing except a little planet and some leftover HTML.
Weirder and weirder.
Betsy’s Page: it’s down because of a problem with her hosting service, Blogger (now owned by Google and not being run all that well).
Musing Minds and The Anchoress (her site is down temporarily, too) have noticed the same thing.
Hedgehog, Betsy Newman and Bad Hair Blog — all conservative blogs — have disappeared from Blogger.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, George.
I am glad that she and the others are back up.
What is it with Google ? They are everywhere.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Victoria.
Good news, indeed.
We may be early.
She went blank, again.

LOL, what's up with that? Were they just teasing us?
Still blank.
Let's try tomorrow. Or later today.
