responsive ... or not

For the past week Blogger users (such as myself) have been unable to schedule a post to be published later. Or, rather, we have been able to schedule them - but they don't post.

Google's support list for Blogger is filled with hundreds of complaints. None of them have gotten an answer from a Google rep. To date, they don't even acknowledge the problem in their Known Issues blog.

I suppose they're all tied up fixing the myriad issues involving their "cool" new interface - the one they'll be forcing us all onto soon - but this particular issue is rather important to a lot of people. It's a nuisance to me, but people who depend on being first out of the gate are very unhappy. And Google is simply not even addressing it - not even one of those ubiquitous "we are working on the problem and hope to have it fixed soon" messages.

Blogger's free. So far it's been reliable and easy to use. If one of those things changes, it's problematic. If they both do ... well, I don't mind spending a little money to get them back.
