Fed Up With Blogger
Posted on March 29th, 2005 by TKls2myhrt
Is anyone else fed up with Blogger? Do I have options? The only way I can post, this entire day, is to use Hello and tag my post to a photo or add comments to my existing posts. I’ve tried MSN Explorer and Internet Explorer with the same results all day long. 
Here’s an alternative way to add your blogger posts:

It looks like Blogger have been having technical problems over the past day or so. See http://status.blogger.com (always worth a visit if there are problems).
You’ve got options. I just moved from Blogger to Powerblogs. Inexpensive and excellent service. Makes me feel stupid for waiting so long. The plan I’m on costs $5 per month. Some people spend that on one cup of coffee. Sure Blogger is free. But I’m getting way more than a $5 improvement in service.
Does anyone else use Powerblogs? I know I’ve seen some blogs on that site. I’d be willing to pay $5.00 a month, I guess, but it would have to be a really well-established company.
I’m on Powerblogs as well - the same $5 plan that Doug has. I chose it when I started six weeks ago and knew next to nothing about blogging technology other than I’d read people’s complaints about Blogger and Moveable Type, and Powerblogs seemed to address these issues.
Powerblogs is pretty idiot-proof, but I’m a pretty ingenious idiot. Whenever I’ve had a question or problem, Chris at Powerblogs has been terrific. Very prompt and very patient in helping me out. The pre-designed templates are also a great way to start, and I’m about to use the Custom feature to create a new look (head’s up, Chris). I’ve got to say I’m very happy with my experience so far.
