Where I have been

I'm not sure I should apologize for not posting to this blog lately. After all, it's my blog; and no guarantees are implied regarding the frequency of updating. I can't, however, escape the feeling that I ought to do some explaining about why I have not posted here more regularly.

The short answer is that Google Buzz came out. That is the best I can do. Lately, my attention has been focused on Google Buzz, which serves as both a status update and a blog of sorts. It seems redundant to write a post there and then another post here on my blog.

The major difference is that I can post to Buzz from my Android phone much easier than I can post here through the same. For some reason, my Wordpress installation will not accept xmlrpc of any sort, rendering mobile posts impossible. Even third-party websites like Posterous can't dump stuff here.

Posting content from my phone seems to be the easiest thing to do for now. It's murder for my battery, though.

So, given that I have to be at a computer to post to this blog, it just isn't happening with my current work load.

THEREFORE,

to keep up with the latest, you are better off following me on my Google Buzz page. My blog posts should be re-posted there too.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
