2009-08-07T13:52:00.000-07:00

A small percentage of Blogger users have experienced error messages this afternoon as the result of what appears to be an ongoing distributed denial of service attack aimed at multiple services across the web.

Searching from the navbar is currently returning incomplete data for some users. We're investigating our search functionality and will hopefully have a fix out shortly.

Javascript inserted in some classic template titles 1956393

2009-07-06T14:10:00.000-07:00

Some users who use Blogger's classic templates are seeing javascript inserted into the <title> elements of their pages. This results when users have modified the standard templates and have inserted the <blogger> and </blogger> tags into their <title> elements.

If your blog is affected, go to "Template", then click on "Edit HTML". Remove anything between <title> and </title> in your template, and replace it with this:

<$BlogPageTitle$>

We are looking at the feasability of adjusting our code to be sensitive to cases where the template has <blogger> tags inserted in the <title>, but for now please use the above work-around to eliminate the javascript code from your blog's page titles.

Custom domain redirects are adding a redirect warning 1922839

2009-06-17T07:21:00.000-07:00

Custom domain users are reporting that traffic to their blog's Blogspot URL is inserting a redirect warning notifying users that they are leaving Blogger. Previously, no warning was issued and visits to the Blogspot URL were automatically re-routed to the user's Custom Domain.

Blogger engineers are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. We apologize for the issue, and will update this post when it is fixed.

Update, 6/22: This has been fixed.

Some users are seeing an 'Operation Aborted' error message when trying to load their blogs from Internet Explorer. We're looking into this and will update this message when we have a fix.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Update (May 26): We are still working on resolving this bug. This only affects viewers using IE to view the blog; for right now, blog owners can either move the Followers gadget lower in their sidebar, or remove it altogether. Either action will eliminate the pop-up dialog box in IE.

We will update this post when a fix has been made.

Failed FTP Logins 1855294

Some users are reporting failed logins when publishing via FTP. We are investigating.

Update: After considerable debugging, we believe this is isolated to no more than a few dozen accounts. We have discovered several web hosts who appear to be throttling login attempts from unknown IP addresses; please verify with your web host that Blogger's IP addresses are whitelisted. If you continue to see problems, please report them in the Help Forum and we will research the issue further.

Some blogs are seeing a new post that says "eeyore is cute!"

We are identifying the cause of the problem and are working on a fix.

Update: During routine testing, a bug caused a small number of FTP blogs to publish a test post. No systems or accounts were hacked. We have corrected the original bug, and are working to remove the test data from the blogs. In the meantime, republishing your FTP blog will also correct the problem. We apologize to those bloggers who were affected - we are looking at mechanisms to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Note: Some users with non-FTP blogs who have opted to receive post confirmation emails may have seen a spurious email about a test "eeyore is cute!" post. This email can safely be ignored.

Update: This is now fixed.
