Those using blogger.com platform for sometime now are having tough time again. Here is how: Despite the year long ban on Blogspot, it has been working fine for me; it was possible to login and publish. Blogs could be viewed through a one of the free proxies available online.
Then this happened; on January 27, 2007, I was invited to switch to newer version. I did it only for login (that means I opted to login with my Google account leaving every thing else intact because over time I have heavily customized my templates. Since then, I was unable to login and access my dashboard. Frustrated; I wrote to my friends, gurus and experts including blogger support. No body could figure out weather this was a blogger new version problem or it is happening due to ban in place.
I have been thinking other alternatives in the meantime. Can Light Within members living abroad post new material on the blog? Should I get my own domain? Should I leave blogging for those who can and do some thing else for my creative pursuits? One thing is sure that I have to do some thing.
I am still contemplating my future when Sidhusaaheb sent this email:
“I’ve been able to sign in to New Blogger from here, through this proxy. The only problem I faced was that all default links and menu options were in the French language, after signing in. It was not too difficult to make out the ones that I required though.”
And it has worked. Thanks Sidhusaaheb.
But who knows? Please be careful before you switch to new version?
Try “JAP” or maybe VTunnel. You can also use the TOR proxies/software.
