Oye Blogger Biffs It

license plate kmilyunI was gonna refrain from mentioning bloggers lake of functioning but after they got back up I tried to leave a comment on a blog and it would not let me by the give me your phone number so you can recover you info if you forget. Dear Google I am not going to give you my freaking phone number OK?

I am glad that I do not use your free blog service – yes the past 24 plus hours as once reinforced my belief that paying to have a disc space for my blog was worth it.  I like that if my blog crashes it will be because I did some dumb thing or my host service bombed. Do I backup my blog? You bet! So what I can not get back would be what I did not back up.

Ok free is free – even a free wordpress blog could go boom boing just like blogger did but eh – I like my stuff being my stuff.  It is bad enough when gmail goes wonky I can not get my mail – but free is free. How about youtube? so far so good but if it goes and I loose out – hey free is free.

But why oh why do you need my phone number? Like google has not collected enough stats on me? Oye!

Glad that it looks like all the blogger blogs are back up and I suspect if google hounds me enough I will find another means of leaving comments. If a comment system only accepts blogger and google identities guess some folks will not get some comments from those of us who like keeping at least our phone number away from google.

Personally, I would be really bummed if I could not blog when I wanted to. If I ever can not afford the slight fee my host charges I guess I would go with a free wordpress blog. The platform is way more customizable and it appears it is easier to backup your stuff. $5.95 a moth is not a lot really to pay to have blog. The wordpress platform is free open source so no extra charge there.  My web hosting provider even handled the transfer of kmilyun . com  so i did not loose my domain name –

Ok glad you bloggers are all back I missed you this morning!
