Guess I'm not cool enough to get banned

Blogger's techies need a strict talking-to today.

At least three bloggers I know of have suddenly found themselves locked out of their own blogs, having been erroneously tagged by some sort of automated process as spam blogs.

You can't see anything's wrong from the outside, except that the blogs won't be updated till the snafu is ... unsnaffed. They can write new posts, but can't publish.

Bob found that he could retitle a widget at the top of his page, providing him a tiny peephole to the outside world. But to my knowledge, both Freida Bee and Dr. Monkey - both of whom I know in passing, but not directly, are locked out for the duration.
