Well, tell me if this surprises you: I went to my blog on ModBlog today, and I read the following:
"Update (11/17/05 @ 4:30AM CT): ModBlog will return online later today. We greatly apologize for ModBlog's downtime, and we are taking steps to ensure that this cause will not be an issue in the future. Complete details regarding ModBlog's downtime will be posted once it re-opens. We truly appreciate your patience, and we look forward to seeing you back at ModBlog!"
The thing is, it's late on Nov. 20, not the 17th, so the promised return is three days late. ModBlog has been off the tracks (again) since Tuesday, and my patience with its many outages is rapidly running out. As I may have written before, I love the way MB is set up and its many features, but all those features--the feedback from others, the friends whose lives you find yourself caught up in, the running jokes, the links and chat features--don't mean much when the site is down. Lately, it seems down much more often than it's up.
The thing is, at Blogger (and at many others), it seems like you're just talking to yourself. No feedback, no attaboys, no wisecracks or pieces of advice.
So despite the fact that I'm here, I'll probably keep an eye open for more promising surroundings. Maybe Blogger has some features I don't really know about. We'll have to see later.
