Good morning. As you may have heard, Google’s “Blogger” or “Blogspot” service has been in outage mode for most of the past two days, which of course has caused serious problems for hundreds of thousands of blogs and, perhaps, for their readers. It’s not a famine, an earthquake, or an international incident (at least not in the usual sense), but it’s trouble in the blogosphere.

At Kindle Nation, we moved our primary blogging infrastructure from Blogger to WordPress in March, and although we had a few glitches along the way we are happy with the move and relieved that we haven’t had to depend on Blogger for very much these past two days.

However, we were continuing to rely on Blogger for certain back-office processes including some content preparation and editing as well as the RSS feed that provides our content in Kindle-friendly format for our thousands of paid Kindle subscribers. If you are a paid Kindle subscriber, you may be noticing some effects* from the Blogger outage, but we are working hard to minimize any negative impact. We apologize if you miss any posts temporarily, and we have to ask for your patience as we redouble our efforts on your behalf.

Meanwhile, all our posts and content are live at http://kindlenationdaily.com, and our Facebook page is updated each time we post at http://www.facebook.com/KindleNation.

*One such effect may be that the listing of free books in our Daily Free Book alert does not render well on the Kindle. This is a temporary problem, but you will be able to see the complete, automatically updated list at http://kindlenationdaily.com, and our Facebook page is updated each time we post at http://www.facebook.com/KindleNation.
