Blogger needs to improve their

Blogger needs to improve their communication skills. Which is ironic,
don't you think, for a company that specializes in blogs?

Sometime yesterday afternoon, Blogger switched all the domain names on what seems to be all
the Blogger Blogs. If you found your way here via Google, take a peek
up at the domain name and realize that they've ditched the 'www'
routing. In the past you could either put in the 'www' or you could
leave it out---but either way you'd get here. Blogger apparently is
pushing for uniformity. You'll need to redo your bookmarks for this
site and any other Blogger Blogs you visit.
So, this is fine and dandy and I don't really have any issues with it. I
JUST WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED BEING TOLD ABOUT IT BEFORE THEY DID IT SO I
COULD HAVE WARNED MY READERS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY NOT WASTED HOURS LAST
NIGHT WONDERING WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON BECAUSE THE HUSBAND COULD
SEE THE SITE BUT I COULDN'T.

I don't think a little post on the log-in page would have been too much to ask, do you?

Update: It does make me feel strangely normal, though. Blogger
never tells you about this stuff until it's over with, if they bother
telling you about it at all. It's somewhat comforting in a weird sort
of way. Update 2: An observant commentator over at INDC Journal notes that it's BLOGSPOT
blogs that are affected and not all Blogger Blogs. I'd completely
forgotten that you could pay Blogger to host your site---hence those
people aren't affected. Forgive me for spreading lies, lies and more
damn lies!
