This isn't going to make Blogger look good

Blogger blocked PostSecret as a spam blog. Oops.

Frank is asking for help in getting Blogger to fix its boo-boo. (I emailed Blogger at support@blogger.com) Ironic how it happened on Sunday, huh?

Blogger has locked PostSecret



(Blogger sent me the following message late last night. Please email them to unlock the PostSecret Blog ASAP. PostSecret has not been fully unlocked by Blogger yet. Sorry, I know this is frustrating for you - it is frustrating for me too.)

Your blog is disabled
Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What's a spam blog?) Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

We received your unlock request on September 16, 2007. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.




I did enjoy this guy's take on it.

Update: As of approximately 1:20 pm ET, PostSecret is back.
