Blogger issues

I've received emails from several of you who have tried to leave comments in the last few days that the CAPTCHA (or word verification) is not working or you're getting a "service error" message. Blogger is having serious issues with the platform right now. There have been intermittent outages, issues with uploading photos and other annoyances. Google says it's aware of the problem. I'm going to try removing word verification for now and see if that helps, although I'm sure the comment spammers will find their way in.

I'm going to wait a a day and post part two of my interview with Jackie Sheeler, so look for it on Wednesday. Also, if you follow me on Facebook, all the blog posts get posted on my wall, so leave a comment there if you can't do it here.

UPDATE TO UPDATE: It appears now that even if you can leave a comment, it either won't show up on the blog or it takes half an hour or more to post. I will continue to post and hope you'll keep reading while Google sorts itself out. I'm starting to second-guess not moving to WordPress.
