FTP publishing is currently unreliable and may prevent some users from posting to their FTP-hosted blogs.

We're looking into this now and will post an update once we have more info. Thanks for your patience.

Update: This has been fixed.

As a result of a code push last night, a previously-fixed bug reappeared causing problems with feeds that redirect to FeedBurner. This is an error on Blogger's side, and the fix is being applied shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience, and will update this once the fix is live.

Update: This has been fixed.

A small number of blogs are seeing errors on their blogs due to broken gadgets. We are fixing this issue. As a workaround, removing broken gadgets in the layout should fix the issue.

Update: This was fixed as of 4/14/09 at around 1 am PDT.

Adding the profile gadget from the Layout | Page Elements tab currently returns a bX-jn3okz error. We are looking into this and hope to have it resolved shortly.

Thanks for your patience.

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.
