Blogger Down for at least 30 mins today!

huasang · Share | #1 (**permalink**) 05-12-2011, 08:32 AM

I am using blogger (blogspot) for my blogs and noticed that this afternoon (about 4pm+, Singapore time), it was down for at least 30 mins before it goes back to normal now.

This is my first time, does anyone using the same platform and experiencing it before? Any idea whether there would be any issue with all the traffics tracking etc..?

Cheers!

Here is some news.

Blogger Goes Down While Rolling Out Its Redesign

Quote:

Today was to be the day for Google to finally roll-out the expected redesign of Blogger, but it seems things haven't gone as planned.

Late last night, the Blogger Twitter account announced that "scheduled maintenance" was underway and later said that it was "sorting out a few issues," but now, hours later, the service still appears to be out of commission.

We would link to posts about the redesign, which the company announced nearly a month ago, but alas, they are all on Blogger itself.
