WHAT has blogger done to the interface?!

It's so annoying to have to figure out how to fix things because of their insistence at using WYSIWYG.

Brrrrrr. At least the edit button has reappeared....

edit: ooooh! Now I see what they've done. I suppose it is an improvement. Now it's either WYSIWYG or HTML instead of the slightly bizarre combo they had before.

edit 30 April 2012: Wow!! Way to make things really really hard to find, Blogger! It took me ages to discover where the dashboard is now.

1. I loathe having to scroll down on the page to find "my blogs".
2. I loathe even more how very difficult it is to find the link to see existing posts. Why have text links been replaced with stupid icons?

loading time for my real blog...

 
Alas, my real blog appears to be very slooooooooow loading. If it loads at all. :-/

Maybe it had something to do with what happened on "Monday the 13th"....

I have no idea how long this has been going on, nor when it will return to normal. Here is an excerpt from the updates page:

Updates - Monday, March 26th, 2012 8:49:56am

March 13, 10:43 PM - Back
Server is back up and safe. No data was lost.

March 13, 9:43 PM - Lots of Blocks, Resyncing Mirrors
I have added approximately 50 new network blocks, primarily from one country overseas. In the meantime, I am resyncing the RAID mirrors for data protection.

March 13, 8:26 PM - DDOS
Server has been hit by a DDOS that caused it to reboot. No data has been lost - I am currently checking the filesystem before it fully comes up.

As always, the way to know whether etherwork is back online is to refresh this page. If you see a leafy image at the top of the page, then you can access the real blog.
