I spent 3 hours yesterday writing 4 book reviews and setting them to publish next month. After I had gotten them all done and set to publish, I looked at my scheduled posts and all 4 of the reviews I had just written were nowhere to be found.
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but you might want to take a look at your scheduled posts and make sure. Looks like Blogger is having more glitches again. I almost deleted my entire blog yesterday I was so mad. 🤣🤣🤪
But instead, I'm just going to wait a couple of days, see if it gets fixed, write the reviews all over again and this time save them in my email drafts folder in case they get deleted again.
Just wanted to give you a heads up that you might want to make sure the same thing hasn't happened to you, and let you know I'm taking at least a couple of days break from Blogger. This really annoyed me.
Oh dear, that's horrible for you and others too. I hope they get it fixed soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteI think they are working on things, I suddenly get emails when someone comments.
ReplyDeleteI hope they get it fixed soon.
DeleteThanks for the heads up! I didn't have any trouble with my post this morning, but I'm a little worried now. I do always write my review on a Word document and then transfer it into my post and other review sites, so if it lost the review I wouldn't be totally screwed. I had the issue with commenting a couple of weeks ago, though. I hope nothing goes wrong with Blogger permanently. I don't want to use another hosting site because this seems to be the easiest!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. If I had to use a different blog site, I wouldn't bother.
DeleteI did just notice that my blog roll (on the right of my page) isn't updating with new posts from the blogs I follow. Like yours reads as: Review: The Orc Who Kneeled still. Same with other ones.
ReplyDeleteWell dang.
DeleteYeah, I bet. Yikes. My posts for this week (that I scheduled yesterday) look like they're still there. Today's post posted. But I'll keep an eye out. Just because it hasn't hit me doesn't mean it won't eventually.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they get it fixed.
DeleteI don’t have any scheduled posts at the moment. Sorry that happened 🙁
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteJust googled...why is there so many issue with blogger. The little I read they claim it malware or a bot.
ReplyDeleteI know I had issue when it come to comments.
I hope they get it fixed.
DeleteSo sorry you lost your reviews
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBlogger is indeed doing some strange and frustrating things at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHopefully 'normal service' will be resumed soon.
All the best Jan
I sure hope so.
DeleteSorry to hear you are having problems. That's frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
DeleteThis happened to me a few months ago. Spent hours making a post and bang it was gone. Blogger is making changes and has everything else messed up.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was so mad.
DeleteHow awful! Keeping the drafts in your email or something like Google Docs wouldn't be a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm going to do from now on.
DeleteOh, that is awful! I hope it unglitches soon. Do you write your reviews someplace else (like WORD or NOTES) and then paste them or write them directly into blogger?
ReplyDeleteI usually write them directly into Blogger. But I'll be writing them in email now since that automatically saves it.
DeleteOh gosh, 3 hours of writing. I've scheduled post for the future so I'll see what happens Wednesday my time to see if it goes up.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
I hope it does.
DeleteWhat an awful glitch! Everyone hates Blogger these days because of all the problems it's causing. I'm home now from my road trip and back to daily blogging, although no one will receive notification of those posts, it seems. Thanks, Blogger *shakes fist*
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating at times. I hope you had a good time.
DeleteThat's not a good glitch. I've had that happen to me also, but not with 4 posts and not recently. Sorry to read this Mary. It is so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI was so mad yesterday. Had to step away for the rest of the day.
DeleteOh no! I'm sorry Blogger is being so glitchy! I hope they get everything worked out quick. I usually save my reviews in my email drafts too.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm going to do from now on.
DeleteThanks for the heads up! I haven't noticed that happening with my posts, but I'm going to make sure and check now. Fingers crossed it's a glitch that gets fixed quickly.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, please check out my latest blog post...I have mentioned in detail about the Blogger issues. Hope it helps you. If people do these suggestions things should go more smoothly.
ReplyDeleteAs well, it would probably help to back up anything you write and save it, this way it will be safe.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry this happened to you, dear friend.
DeleteOh boy! Blogger is certainly having issues right now. I hope it all gets sorted out soon!
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating! I haven't had that happen to me, but there have been other Blogger glitches. Although, at the moment, things have calmed down for me. So annoying. I hope everything straightens out for you.
ReplyDeleteI tried commenting one day and NOPE. It was crazy
ReplyDeleteWe had a blogging friend who had a whole year of prescheduled posts LOL and lost them all when she tried to turn blog address into a website address LOL Blogrolls have not been updating in a week now for most of us even though we all reported it.
