OK, Blogger, which is a blog site affiliated with Google, which, some might say, has a liberal perspective on the world or, at the very least, has been suggested as supporting elected officials with liberal persuasions, has revised its Blogger pages. This is an improvement, right? Not so fast.
In the process of revising their site, they appear to have lost my blog. I can no longer post to 1776Patriot. It's gone. It's not in my account. It's not on my dashboard.
It's probably an innocent mistake. However, a while before they lost my blog, they disconnected it from the pay section. That occurred after I twice applied to coordinate payment from clicks on the ads on my blog pages. Blogger was supposed to reply to my application for payment with a card that would arrive the old-fashioned way - through the US Postal Service. The cards never arrived and I never collected any of the funds I was supposed to collect before or since they shut that option off from my blog.
I tried to rebuild my site using the same name - Rich1776Patriot - but Blogger informed me that name is taken. You bet it's taken. It's taken by me but I can't access the site.
Now, it's a little bit conspiratorial minded of me to assume this situation is the result of a liberal-focused attack on a relatively inconsequential site that was filled with posts of a constitutionally conservative nature. But, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
You might say, "Quit your whining. You've got a new site now." However, as someone who understands just a little bit about Search Engine Optimization, I realize that the loss of my old site sets me back to the starting gate as far as building visibility. Still, as I said, I don't imagine my ramblings to be of such great significance to justify such a diabolical plot. Then again, if I'm not the only one to face this dilemma, well ...
So, I ask, if you had a conservative blog on Blogger, did you lose your blog after this latest Blogger 'upgrade?'

I've discovered my old Blogger account. However, I cannot work in it directly. Still, it appears that my microblogs still wind up there. This has nothing to do with an ability provided by Blogger but, rather, has to do with the manner in which I distributed backlinks to my sites.
