Blog Fail

Anyone who has been following me on Facebook or Twitter is aware of the drama that is Blogger. I came home yesterday from the beach to find my entire blog was deleted. In my email was a message from Blogger stating my blog violated terms of service and was marked as SPAM and removed.

I freaked! A LOT! It was gone! I had schedules to fulfill! Authors to flail about and a blog hop coming up!

Then I see on my Facebook timeline not 1 or 2 but a bunch of Blogger users having the same issue!

I disputed the deletion of my blog. It took awhile since I couldn't access my dashboard and had to have Blogger text me a verification code. Of course they tell me "We are reviewing your request for your blog to be reactivated, please allow up to 20 days for a response." OH. MY. GOD!  TWENTY DAYS?

I started looking at other sites. I had commitments! But in less than 24 hours Blogger reinstated my blog. The reason "Due to an automated error your blog was deleted. After further review we apologize for the error and any inconvience it has caused."

Thankfully it was only minor heart explosions on my part, but alas I am back up and running :)
