Blogger – a competing blogging service that I do not use – is in the middle of a massive crash. Here is how that crash may impact blogs, including many Jewish blogs, that use it.
Blogger, the blogging service that was once independent and fairly well-run, but which has been more recently owned and poorly operated by Google, was down all day yesterday and is still down today.
Even though you can see their blogs, bloggers who use Blogger cannot publish new posts and some of their recent posts may have disappeared.
So far, Blogger has not told them when – or if – their blogs will be fully operational again.
Some older Jewish blogs use Blogger.
So if you see a blog does not seem to be updated recently, it may very well be because of Blogger's massive failure.
Lets hope Blogger is back up and running before Shabbat.
