Blogger is back...

akhirnya bisa posting blog lagi setelah tadi pagi blogger.com kembali normal pasca maintenance besar-besaran. hal ini menjadi rekor downtime terlama dari layanan blog hosting milik google yakni "blogger" alias "blogspot" mulai tanggal 12 sampai dengan baru aktif tadi pagi (tanggal 14 waktu indonesia).

sejak 2 hari lalu pemilik blog yang ada di blogger.com tidak dapat melakukan update blog dikarenakan adanya beberapa issue yang terjadi di layanan itu meskipun para pengunjung masih bisa membaca postingan blog sebelumnya. sesuai postingan di "blogger status" dan "blogger buzz" mulai tadi pengguna sudah dapat menggunakan layanan seperti biasanya tetapi ada fitur baru yang kembali di tarik seperti fitur geolokasi untuk menambahkan lokasi/ map posting blog. 

berikut penjelasan dari pihak blogger di "blogger buzz":

Update (5/13 7:46PM PST): Nearly all posts since Wednesday are restored, now bringing back comments from last couple days. We expect the comments to be back this weekend or sooner.


What a frustrating day. We’re very sorry that you’ve been unable to publish to Blogger for the past 20.5 hours. We’re nearly back to normal — you can publish again, and in the coming hours posts and comments that were temporarily removed should be restored. Thank you for your patience while we fix this situation. We use Blogger for our own blogs, so we’ve also felt your pain.


Here’s what happened: during scheduled maintenance work Wednesday night, we experienced some data corruption that impacted Blogger’s behavior. Since then, bloggers and readers may have experienced a variety of anomalies including intermittent outages, disappearing posts, and arriving at unintended blogs or error pages. A small subset of Blogger users (we estimate 0.16%) may have encountered additional problems specific to their accounts. Yesterday we returned Blogger to a pre-maintenance state and placed the service in read-only mode while we worked on restoring all content: that’s why you haven’t been able to publish. We rolled back to a version of Blogger as of Wednesday May 11th, so your posts since then were temporarily removed. Those are the posts that we’re in the progress of restoring.


Again, we are very sorry for the impact to our authors and readers. We try hard to ensure Blogger is always available for you to share your thoughts and opinions with the world, and we’ll do our best to prevent this from happening again.
