Seeking A New Blogging Platform

 I am looking for a different site on which to continue my blog. Over the past two days, five5 or six of my posts have either been flagged or removed from my blog altogether. It appears some scumbag informant is reporting my posts, as somehow objectionable or against Google/Blogger guidelines, to Blogger. 

 

Can you imagine, I had offered a 1911 Mag to one of my readers who could give the closest estimate to my mileage on a trip I took some years ago (the blog post was also posted years ago). That was flagged as spam and removed. Go figure. Maybe someone at Blogger or Google needs to look up the definition of spam. 

 

Another post, a review of a scope was also flagged as were a post about my opinion of RAP music and the attitude expressed in one song (my opinion was quite supportive of that particular song's lyrics) and another that was a bit about Muhammad Ali (aka: Cassius Clay). This is getting ridiculous; so, I am seeking suggestions for another site on which to continue my blog. Thanks for any helpful suggestions you might make.

All the best,

Yikes - what is up with Blogger?

I guess you get what you pay for, and since I paid nothing for use of this site, maybe that is why I have been having so many problems lately. My bet is Blogger or Google will soon institute a pay for use whereby you get live help, but that is only a guess.

My problems have been many, and have only been recent, within the past few weeks, ever since they converted everyone with an old Blogger account to a Google account (or so I was told). It seems things on my own blog keep disappearing such as my link lists to other bloggers, my link list to reference material, my firearms related lists. I also have a great amount of difficulty connecting to other sites using those lings, but I think only the other sites that use Blogger. In addition my link to site meter at the bottom of the page has come and gone a few times, and each time I enter in the html code, it shows up again in a different place even though the code has not changed. All very spooky; and if it was only happening on my home PC I would think virus, but it is happening on other PCs from which I access my blog. I have also heard of others having problems connecting, or finding blogs on the site since they allegedly switched everyone to a Google account. Hopefully this is a bug on the Blogger end and they will fix it soon, but heck how do they even become aware that end users are having problems; there is no link for contacts to them on their site as far as I know!

Oh well, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon. Lest I forget, I should again point out I get all of this for free, so I guess I cannot complain too much. I suppose it is a case of me taking things for granted, since in essence they were granted to me. Blogger on the whole is a good thing, and they usually keep it running well, I just hope it stays that way.

All the best,
