Are You There Blogger? It's me, Marcy
My blog was incommunicado for at least 3 hours last night. After two hours, I had a thought that someone at Blogger might be interested in my problem. In the light of a new day, however, I'm feeling kind of embarrassed at my naivete.

In my quest for assistance, I first checked Blogger's Main and Status sites. I finally found a place to send a request for help, at the bottom of the Support page. Whew!

After I sent off the pertinent information, a message came up that said something to the effect "We'll do what we can to help, but keep in mind that paying customers get first priority." Gasp!

I shouldn't complain because everything seems in working order at this time.

I shouldn't complain because I'm enjoying the benefits of a welfare blogging state, on Blogger's dime.

I shouldn't complain because I think Biz Stone is a biscuit. And if not for his book, Blogging, I wouldn't be here right now.

I shouldn't complain because at least Blogger didn't have the audacity, in my wee hour of need, to pop up a PayPal link offering me an immediate upgrade to the paid service.

But at 1:00am, being unexpectedly disenfran-blogged can make a person feel very alone. Abandoned. Vulnerable.

So, for the record (i.e. for ye Blogger gods, capable of smiting me down with one swift keystroke),
I'm not complainin'.

I'm just sayin'.
