Blogger is broken

Well, this was going to be my new blog.

I'm having another rush of wanting to blog (I've never stuck with a personal blog before) and Blogger seemed the obvious choice, since I've used it before for many work projects and it's relatively easy to use.

However, the mail-to-blogger feature inexplicably stopped working a while ago, and I need this feature for some of my projects.

[Update - 05/02/07: Just to clarify... the mail-to-blogger feature stopped working for me and a handful of other people according to the Blogger help forums, not everyone.]

And besides, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the platform. In fact it it makes me feel somewhat anxious about trusting my thoughts to this space.

Of course I've tried to contact Blogger, but since they have about a gazillion users to deal with, and are probably dealing with half-a-gazillion issues and queries related to the shift to the new Blogger, my chances of getting personalised attention are probably about the same as a poor little snowflake's chances of surviving in hell!

Until I've sorted out this blogging thing you can follow my thoughts over at http://snipurl.com/seansthoughts where I am using Google Reader's share feature to aggregate and republish things I am publishing elsewhere.
