Blogger (owned by Google) is making everybody move all of their accounts to a new “improved” system using Google accounts. The migration has caused a lot of problems for other bloggers and I’ve been avoiding this move for months. But time is running out and I have to take the plunge now, risking the complete loss of multiple blogs. I backed up my files to be safe (not knowing if that would ever actually help me) and began the migration process. Then came this error message:
Could not switch you to the new BloggerThanks for your interest in the new Blogger in beta. An error has occurred that has prevented us from switching your account at this time.
Well I haven’t actually lost everything yet but all Bloggers must migrate soon but I can’t. And what’s worse is that every time I retry this migration process I risk losing my blogs again and again. And it’s not like this error message gives me any clue as to what the problem may actually be. I sense further frustrations ahead. If you don’t see a new post from me for a while this mandatory “upgrade” may be the reason why. Wish me luck.
Update: I wasn’t able to update the new blogger until April 19th of 2007.
