Church Of Me ends, for no good reason

See what I mean? Criticise Blogger, and they send one of their PR dummies out here to patronise me.

I'm moving whether you like it or not. Fuck your apartheid. And don't bother emailing me either.

What happened Marcello?

I would like to write that your blog is rubbish, Marcello and that I don't care that you are on hiatus. But unfortunately it is not true. I'd like you to continue The Church of Me on Blogger. You know I am the other PR guy... ;-)

P.S. You will hit me for this and you are probably right, Marcello but could it be that you are slightly paranoid? Blogger doesn't have PR guys. Blogger's PR guys are their users. And they are not paid by anyone. Or did you pay for blog, Marcello? How can you demand anything from Blogger? You own them something and they don't own you anything.

BTW I have never seen archives disappear at Blogger. Only the links to them disappear...

maybe i am wrong about the pr guy thing. but in any case i always found blogger's support pretty good. i exchanged a couple of emails with ev when i had some problems and i found it amazing that he had the time to respond. with hundred thousands of blogs on blogger...

The archives came back early this evening, UK time. There was a problem on the Blogspot server today whereby ALL ARCHIVES were replaced with a generic blogspot page and URL to click to link back to the blogs main blogspot page.

(However there is still a problem with November).

The problem with the November issue and updating the current template to ALSO feature on previous months archives (something I prefer) - has been a problem since November - this has been widely communicated within the yahoo group linked to on status.blogger.com.

Yes in normal circumstances If they ever disappear, just go into the "archive" part of the 'edit your blog' thing, and republish everything. it would work.

But the current problems are far more complex ! with missing archives in the "back end" of blogger - when publishing all archives - I have about 18 months missing, so I can't do my preferred update to reflect current template in the old months archives !

I manually link my archives on my blog - so people can still access the previous months, though.

[Marcello, pyra blogger only consists of 2 people Ev and Jason. They don't have a PR department ! ]

I would like Marcello to continue as well as I have enjoyed reading The Church of Me in 2002.

Yeah; how else could I have name-dropped Marcello in my L.L. Cool J review on Popmatters.com?

Don't get hysterical, Marcello. You sound very paranoid.

I've been running my blog on Blogger for about a year now, and I've never had any problems save for brief minor server errors which are the equivalent of a power outtage or your cable going out for an hour. It's no big deal. If you want to upgrade, presumably to Moveabletype, that's cool. But don't dis Blogger - they do a very good job, and I think they very seldom fuck up.

For fucks sake you lot Marcello has stated his intention of starting a new blog which will presumably be not disssimilar to Church of Me just not on Blogger - why are you so keen for it to continue via Blogger??? I use Blogger cos it's convenient and hasn't fucked up on me too badly - if Marcello's had a different experience then respect that, eh?

Yeah: EH!

wow, tom said fuck!! ;-)
