Here’s a gripe for you…

You get your favorite blog in your email. For example, Average Joe’s “The Daily Gripe #3”. You want to comment, so you click the link at the top of the page. Your browser opens and you wait for the page to load, but instead, you get a message that says:
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server. Please visit the Blogger homepage or the Blogger Knowledge Base for further assistance.
Now THAT is something to gripe about!

First of all, I'm flattered that you would list Average Joe American among your favorite blogs. I consider that a complement.

Secondly, I apologize that you were unable to access Blogger to leave your comments. If you visited the Blogger homepage as the error message advised, you would have discovered the following (circled in red in the screen capture):




As you can see, the entire Blogger domain was down for maintenance beginning at 8:23AM PST (11:23AM Eastern). Your comment was posted at 12:11 PM Eastern, while the site was probably still down for maintenance. While the blog hosting doman, Blogspot.com, was fully functional for viewing the site, the blog editing domain, Blogger.com, was not available.

My sincere apologies that you were unable to access the site. This is an irregular occurrence that unfortunately happens from time to time. I hope you'll continue to read Average Joe American, whether through your email (subscribe link in the sidebar), your favorite aggregator, or at http://averagejoeblogs.blogspot.com.

And remember, if at any time in the future you're unable to post your comments via the comment link, you can freely email them to me and I will see that they get posted.

Joe
