Decay On Net

I think I'm having blogger withdrawal syndrome.

For no reason, I couldn't create new post on decayonnet for the whole day. When I click on the Create link, the page just won't load. Keep trying a few times, still can't. The strange thing is, I have no problem editing existing post or even posting on other blogs that I have on blogger.

I almost died when I couldn't blog for the whole day.

At first I thought I got a spyware or virus. So I did a virus scan and also scan for spyware. None. Then I thought my IE is having problem. So I installed firefox to test out. Still cannot.

Finally, I decide to write to blogger helpdesk.

And surprisingly, few minutes after sending the error report, I tried creating new post again and succeed. HURRAY!!!!

Hmmmm.... is it a coincident that my blog is fixed a few minutes after sending out the error report? Or did the helpdesk respond to my error report at record timing?

Ok, blogger withdrawal syndrome is over. I can go to bed now. Gd nite. :D

One of the most interesting feature of blogger beta is the label function. As you can see, I've already began to use the labels.

But here the problem. I couldn't list all the labels I have on the side bar.

Update (9/14): You can now enter labels for your blog with a classic template. The labels will appear under the post body, and searching for labeled content works the same as for a layouts blog. However, there is no tag for adding all your labels to your sidebar. To use the sidebar labels widget, you'll have to switch to a Layouts template.

What this means is, you can create labels, but you cannot list all your labels UNLESS you convert to the new layout template. Converting to new layout template means that I have to redo my existing template. *HORROR*

What the heck is wrong with blogger? Why can't they just create tags for listing the labels just like the way they do for archives? Why isn't the classic template supported? Why must we be forced to change to the new layout to make full use of blogger beta's features?

Or is there a way to add label listing to classic template but I don't know?

Still remember whenever we learn a new programming language, the first lab exercise will surely be "Hello World" program.

I've just converted to blogger beta. So I guess the first post should be "Hello Beta" posting.

Anyway, I was thinking about it last night. Maybe I'm encountering problem posting comment on beta site because blogger is pending my conversion to beta. So after reading the comments from Cobalt Paladin and The Imp, I decided to take the bold step to convert to blogger beta.

The came the first problem. It appears that the coding from my template can't hide the header for blogger beta.



Help!! Somebody want to chop off my head!!!

Ok... I'll think of a solution for this later. Either find the codes that disable the header or move my head lower.

Then came the next problem. I can't load the comment page! And the strangest thing is, my friend could load the page. Then after a couple of tries, I managed to load my comment page. Only to discovered that the delete comment button is missing. -_-'''

Dear Spammer, please do not spam my blog until I discovered where did the delete button goes.

Updates 10 mins later: OK, Tried logging out then logging in again on the comment page and I finally managed to delete the comments.

Updates 15 mins later: Tried commenting on both blogger beta and old blogger blog. No issue.

Perhaps its some conspiracy theory by blogger to force everyone convert to beta asap. lol.

Just wondering, am I the only person encountering this problem?

Sometimes, I cannot load the comment page from those blog under blogger beta.

Then when I managed to load the page, I cannot post the comment.
Got this error msg.

Could not log you in. Double check your password or try again later.

When I tried posting using Anonymous, it just reloads the comment page and the comment doesn't get posted.


Am I the only person encountering this problem? Or is there a bug with blogger beta?
I'm really going to delay my conversion to blogger beta.

To Cobalt Paladin, The Imp, Paddy, ZhenZhen and many more blogger beta users: I wanted to post comment on your blog 1, but I can't seem to be able to post comment for the past few days!!! :(

Blogger is finally asking me to switch to the new version. The beta version.

Yes, I'm excited about the new features that the beta version offers. Especially the ability to have labels and the updated dashboard. But I'm having 2nd thoughts about switching so early.

I don't know if it is just my computer or everyone experience something similar. Have you ever tried to post a comment on a blog that is in blogger beta version, only to find that the post comment page never gets loaded?

I do experience that sometimes, especially at night. I'm wondering is it something to do with my IE or blogger.

I think I'll just stick to the old blogger a little while longer....
