Frustration.

I like Google. I really do. And I am a frequent user of all of their software. But sometimes they frustrate even me.

Lately the source of that frustration has been their switch to a new version of Blogger, with a wholesale API change as well. It also seems to have broken some of the old Blogger support as well, and I've been seeing issues for months.

As the author of Bleezer, an offline blog authoring tool, that has caused me personal grief, not to mention the problems experienced by my users. And the users of other blogging tools that also ceased to work correctly.

Now there is a Blogger API help group, and the Blogger folks are trying to be helpful, but some things just do not work as advertised from what I am experiencing.

So if you are experiencingproblems with Blogger and Bleezer, rest assured that I am working on them as quickly as I can.

Blogger problems.

Now that Google has switched the new Blogger from beta to live, there are a lot of things that just don't work properly. Rest assured I'm working to fix them as fast as I can.

Of course that work is impeded by the fact that some Blogger API functions simply do not work as documented, and it appears that nobody at Google actually cares as evidenced by the complete lack of response to issues posted in the Blogger support groups.
