Problems at Murtha Must Go!

...and just when we were getting things off the ground...

My new blog, Murtha Must Go! , created to expose and to help unseat the seditious congressment from PA's 12th CD, John Murtha, was just getting off the ground. With recognition by Wizbang, Blogs for Bush, and others, we were really starting to get enough traffic where our message was beginning to make a difference.---until, Google did a brain fart.

From nearly the beginning of Murtha Must Go! Blogger flagged it for being a suspected spam blog. This makes it so that you need to go through a word verification exercise before you can post; and also, I believe it makes it so that your feeds won't operate. I contacted Blogger twice. On each occasion, I got an email back stating that they reviewed the blog, found that it wasn't spam, and that we would be given regular posting priveleges. Unfortunately, none of that occurred, and we still to this day need to do the word verification thing in order to make a post.

Well, starting this afternoon, we couldn't even do that.

We have two posts in the wings, on the Blogger dashboard, that are supposedly published, although they don't show up on the blog. Additionally, when you view the blog and click on a timestamp under an individual post, instead of taking you to that individual post, the blogger web page reloads in its entirety to its frozen-state. I've republished the template and the entire blog numerous times, cleaned out the caches, tried different web browsers, all with the same result.

The number of comments indicator under each post remains static regardless of the number of comments actually made.

In other words, the blog as it shows up on the web page is now frozen in time.

I have contacted Blogger twice regarding these problems, but I'm afraid it's a bit like moving a graveyard.


If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know--

***UPDATE****

Murtha Must Go! is back in operation, although we still have the word verification which Blogger said that was supposed to be no more. Twice.

Arrrgh!

***UPDATE***

Everything now fixed--cleared for takeoff--all systems go!
