Distributed Denial of Service attack

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. Google has a variety of systems in place to help counteract these types of attacks, and we believe the majority of affected users can now access their blogs. We're continuing to work to minimize the impact to affected Blogger users. No other Google products have been affected.

We've restored the small number of accounts which were disabled over the weekend, so you should be able to login to Blogger.com without a problem. We apologize for the inconvenience as we continually work to improve our spam detection.

From the dashboard, you may also restore access to non-spammy blogs which were inadvertently affected by this issue.

Some users are experiencing problems with missing Followers on their own blogs, as well as others. We're aware of the problem, and ask for your patience as we investigate.

We've created a form to gather more information on this issue, and could use your help if you have a moment to fill it out. Thanks in advance.

Javascript inserted in some classic template titles 1956393

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.
