The blogger problem lies with Singnet
The blogger problem that I've been getting lately is actually from Singnet. There is a discussion about this in the blogger help forum.
East Coast Life told me that there are some talks about this issue and the problem lies with Singnet. At first I didn't believe it. I went ask around and found that most of my Singnet friends are having problem with blogger. But there I also found some Starhub users with the same problem too.
So I thought the problem can't be with Singnet. Until I saw that article in the blogger help forum. Maybe starhub is also getting the same problem because they route pass Singnet. Not sure.
The work around solution now is to add a 2 to the www in the url. I've tried it and it works. Lets hope they fixed the problem soon. Oh well, at least my edit post screen looks ok now. Still can't amend my template unless I add the 2 behind the www.
Oh crappy Singnet....

Yes, Singnet is really screwed up on routing. Too many agendas.
Singapore has a "transparent proxy". You are being forced through this proxy whether you like it or not.
Performance at times for the transparent proxy is poor, so Singnet tries to route non-commercial traffic through a proxy tunnel. (ie. their non-transparent proxy)
The reality is that proxy or no-proxy the service just stinks.
I have considered getting PacNet DSL as an alternative.

Take note, for all you bloggers out there. Demand proper broadband!!!!
You're paying for it anyway aren't you? :)

haha DK, I actually twittered about this before, and here's the proof that it IS singnet giving us the problem:

For a workaround, which Stephanie have suggested is to change "www" to "www2" in the URL. Surprisingly, it actually works.

CJ: yeap. Adding a 2 behind the www really works. Don't know why like that.

The problem has been solved....

There's also another alternative, beside adding www2.blogger.com. Even with "www2" you still unable to add page element.
It's involve adding proxy.singnet.com.sg to your Internet Options
