I'm Alive
My gracious host (Chattablogs.com) appears to be on the mend, which means I can log in. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with system outages that are beyond one's control and to have some sort of client base getting all frothy during the interim, so I tried to remain as froth-free as possible over the past few days.
Luckily for them, my actual success at that couldn't be measured via comments on their announcements blog. :-)
Anyway, I do have just sort of a general question, before I get back to blogging in earnest: can anyone tell me why, when I attempt to navigate to or in a blog that is hosted on blogspot.com, I have to wait A VERY LONG TIME before the page comes up? I mean, it hangs for FOREVER. No other blog service does this to me. I go to TypePad and WordPress and MovableType blogs all the time, and others I probably can't name, and I can go to where I need. It's just the Blogger blogs that are not readily served (especially their Comments pages).
There are quite a few Tennessee blogs on Blogger that I consider must-reads, and I can usually read them through Bloglines (since they publish full Atom feeds) but I can't comment on any. (Their moderators are probably sighing with relief at that, but that's a different matter.)
Does this happen to you? I'm on a cable connection (albeit a spotty and slow one, aka a "comcastic" speed), and I can't imagine trying to deal with Blogger on dial-up or even DSL.
