Having a bad flashback

The page says I've been blogging for a whole month now. That's not exactly true, I've had a soap box page going for years (back to when I actually approved of the Clinton administration). I even had a blog set up with blogger when they first started. Problem is, the site was so darned unreliable it was too much of a hassle, so I stuck with the old way. So after getting curious about GMail and the other Google services, I decided to try it again. Soooooo

Imagine my annoyance this morning when, as I'm trying to do the earlier post, the system disappeared on me. It's been 3 years or more since my first attempt and they're still having problems? I hope it was just a glitch...
