Blogspot sites not working properly

If, like me, you find that you cannot view any Blogspot sites this week, post in http://groups.google.com/group/blogger-help-troubleshoot/browse_thread/thread/cea786e6c989dec7 to tell them of the problem. It won't go away on its own! Since maybe Tuesday last, I can log into Dashboard and create posts but I get a error message in IE and in Firefox on trying to view my own blog or any other Blogspot site. Irritating, to say the least.

Update 03/03/2007: The Blogosphere seems to be of the opinion that the problem is with the ISP, NTL. I suppose it's possible some twerp tried to block a Blogger site there and managed to block the whole feckin lot of us. Send emails of complaint to customer.support@upc.ie ....if you can see this advice, that is! *LOL*

Update 07/03/2007: After much publicity on the old Blogosphere it seems like someone extracted the digit from whatever orifice it was in and actually fixed the problem (for now). So glad to see the blog again the way it's supposed to be seen.

Don't know what is creating the problem Willie, but I've read about any number of bloggers having the same difficulty. I've not had any trouble getting to any of the blogs however. Everything appears okay for the readers, from here to Blogorrah to Fatmammycat to North Atlantic Skyline to Twenty Major, etc., etc. Weird, huh?

Weird is right. But I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. I'm beginning to think it's the ISP that's blocking access to the Blogspot.com sites. I've sent them an email and am awaiting a reply. A bit tiring, finding a proxy to get onto one's own site! For those who wish to try it -- no guarantees and at your own risk -- I am using ninjaproxy.com to allow me to view the Blog at the moment.
