Blogger Problems

Feb 08, 2007

I personally know a few bloggers who lost their two years of blog posts on Blogger.com and I wonder why people — at least serious bloggers — still use it. It doesn’t even come near to the top blog publishing software like WordPress or even MovableType.

Duncan Riley on 901am.com says that Blogger users have been unhappy for a very long time and there is no support from Google. I don’t think except for its highly commercial services like the AdSense Google has any customer support system for its free services.

Duncan refers to a recent article in the Computer World titled Bugs in Blogger prompt user complaints that says:

Users contacted in recent days via e-mail report a variety of problems, including the disappearance of blog entries, an inability to post comments, failed migrations to the new service and kinks with the RSS feature. They also said that Google has been unresponsive to support requests.
