Dear Blogger,
You are breaking my heart. Okay, maybe I’m being a little extreme. Perhaps, my heart isn’t broken. You are however, bumming me out. A few days ago or a week ago or who can remember, you broke for what seems like an eternity. This week you’ve been acting funny, too.
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, “Why do you care? You aren’t even on me (Blogger) anymore, you abandoned me for WordPress.” It’s true that I switched from you to WordPress a little less than a year ago, but I will tell you today what I told you then- it is nothing personal. You were great, I loved you. I really loved you and in many ways, I still love you. But you were my first and I just wasn’t ready to settle down. I wanted to see what all the hype about WordPress was, I wanted to experiment.
My leaving was hard on both of us. You could even say it affected my appetite because my feed got totally messed up in the move. I didn’t lose weight, but I lost followers and I would much rather lose weight. There are some things I miss about you, but at this point it would just be silly to go back. Yes I’m happy where I am, but I will always be grateful for all you taught me and all the great people you introduced me to.
Here’s the thing, you and I are still connected. When you break, I feel it. Something feels wrong, not quite right. It takes me a little time to figure it out, but I notice that things in my corner of the blogosphere get quiet. Then I go and make my usual rounds to see what my friends are up to and I’m not able to leave comments on their blogs because you won’t let me. It feels like you are trying to punish me. Like you don’t want people to read my blog from their dashboard and you don’t want them to know I’ve been visiting.
Did I really hurt you that much that you have to take it out on everyone? Bloggger, I’m sorry. Can we please be friends?
Your ex,
Unknown Mami
Blogger is driving me crazy! It’s making me leave it.
It finally gave me back all my comments from about 2 weeks ago and now it’s not letting people comment through their google ID. Though, if you select comment as “name/url” that seems to fool blogger into letting you comment! 🙂
i’ve been so lazy about commenting or even answering comments on my own blog, sugar, that i hardly noticed! *sigh* xoxoxoxo
This is so funny. And yes, when blogger broke last week or whenever it was…it was rough.
Is that what all this has been about? I noticed blogger was acting funny, but I figured blogger was just… like that, you know?
That’s what I like about wordpress though. You get the freedom to, you know, see other blogs without it getting all pissy.
I have resorted to posting anonymously and leaving my name in the comment when Blogge acts up like this!
It wouldn’t even let me post anonymously. It would only let me comment on blogs that had the option to do name/url and not too many blogs provide that option.
Wow! Finally, I was starting to worry I wouldn’t be able to comment at all. I wasn’t able to post my own new comment. But it is allowing me… so far…. to reply to yours. I am having lots of blogger problems this week. I wasn’t sure if it was my work (government) cracking down on external website or what. Guess I am kind of glad its not just me, but I am still frustrated.
I feel like everything online has been screwed up lately. Disqus commenting had been giving me all sorts of problems. Sorry about the difficulties.
Blogger is a very demanding lover. I fear for my rabbit
What is up there butts seriously someone needs to tell them enough is enough!
I guess you really broke its heart. I’m glad you were wordpressed enough to say you are sorry. It’s about time.
No matter how much you want to, it’s just hard to be ‘just friends’ with an ex. I think probably Blogger’s new woman is jealous of you, and causing all of these problems….that’s usually how it works in my experience.
See, that’s why I love you so much. Instead of calling me a delusional narcissist, you find reasons to support my argument. A true friend.
That’s for sure!

Sure, when in doubt, blame a woman… I totally think this new chick is fictional. I think blogger just has issues. I mean, who is blogger gonna get after losing Mami anyway?
It has made me seriously consider leaving for WP, but I am not that popular – yet.
That Blogger WordPress relationship is iffy at best.
Blogger does get tetchy from time to time.. but she always gets over it.. I hope.
Well written.. you made me laugh.
Blogger needs a midlife makeover. WordPress is the faithful, beautiful big sister.
Blogger won’t let me sign out!! I am trapped inside my main blogger log on. The problem is I am a bit of a blogger tramp and have many alias’ for different roles I have and I have to switch between them regularly. But Blogger won’t let me sign out of one and go in as another! It is driving me insane. Plus I can’t post pictures right now … I have no idea what to do. I don’t even know how to leave! I am trapped I tell you …
I’m telling you, Blogger must have found out about your cheatin’ ways. Blogger’s out for revenge.

I know I was having issues yesterday and I heard about others who couldn’t leave a message on my blog. They are not mad at you 🙂
That comment thing was totally pissing me off last night.
I thought it was something I was doing wrong since I am new to blogging. It’s driving me crazy but I dont know how to jump around. :/
Oh!!! It was you!! That’s why we are having trouble again. Shuuuu! I thought it was bad spelling again on my post! I see. Well, now that you have made a sincere apology maybe things will get back to normal.
I would so much rather lose weight too, losing followers just sux!!
I found you via Leigh Vs Laundry and I”m glad I did! You both have such a fresh writing style! You are both real hip mamas and it’s fun to read your delightful stories!
How sweet are you? Thank you!

Word press is a shit too mate! The number of times I can’t leave YOU a comment … it drives me nuts! I had to ‘open’ your blog five times before it would let me type in the comment box. I am now hoping it actually publishes it!… here we go….
I can’t even blame that on WordPress. It’s the Disqus commenting plug-in. Lately, it just doesn’t want me to get comments. Friggin’ jerk!
i finally got my comments back on my fashion blog, which i’ve now committed to switching over to WP. it’s too unreliable and makes things look funny. i love ur letter to blogger. hope he/she listens to it!

Stupid blogger! I haven’t been able to comment for like a week!
I haven’t had a bit of trouble with Blogger (except for that day and a half they were AWOL.) My biggest trouble has been with Disqus. I don’t have any trouble on this particular blog, but another one has been giving me fits for a month or so. I was finally able to post the other day, but if I made a mistake, I couldn’t backspace to delete. My post was a disaster.
Love Cyndy’s comment about being friends with the Ex. I’d really have to agree with her. It’s not an ideal relationship usually. At least you have your hand extended in friendship. That’s a start!! Good luck with that!
You are too funny! A lot of my friends are on blogger and when they complain to me via E-mail my E-mail response is only…’Word Press’
I’m going over to like your face book page so I can stay up with you better.
Have a great weekend and I’ll be back for the Sunday blog hop.
I’m thinking of blogging at my word press blog again, since there are so many problems at Blogger these days grrr.
Ahh……so it’s YOUR fault. Bitch.
