Well it seems even the big boys have issues from time to time. Currently Google’s Blogspot.com is offline. This is causing us some problems, or more specifically causing Posties some problems.
When you make a post within the system, PayPerPost.com will automatically hit the blog to check certain criteria in the post. We also validate the URL of the post. With BlogSpot down this is causing PayPerPost.com to experience some timeouts and generally slowing things down (if we have a bunch of people trying to make posts in the system hosted on Blogspot, obviously PayPerPost.com is going to wait a while before it timeouts).
So, for the time being if you are using a BlogSpot.com blog we can’t accept your posts. As soon as BlogSpot.com gets back online we’ll be fine to keep working with Google Blogspot.com hosted blogs.
Sorry, on Google’s behalf.
Pete
