May 23, 2023

Okay, I know that's an odd title, but for some reason, Blogger has begun UNpublishing many of my blog posts from years ago, saying that the titles were not in agreement with their policies. Hopefully, they can't find any fault with a date. 

I'm wondering if any of you are having the same issue?  So far, about 20 posts have been taken down. In my opinion, this is ridiculous, and, of course, you can talk to no one about it.  After 6 months, I'm allowed to appeal with them. 

ANYway....I am totally considering stopping my blog, and just posting on FB, and learning to do Instagram.

Have any of you had this problem yet?

This is so upsetting to me, as my blog has been sort of a diary in a lot of ways over the years. I've looked back on many older posts to remember names, places, births, deaths, etc.

Anyway, have a great day, and hope I'm alone in this battle - that none of you are experiencing issues.

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

Are you getting notified that the posts are being removed? As far as I know, I'm not having any issues, but how would I know!?!? I keep thinking about not blogging anymore, but then I would lose touch with some people. I don't do Facebook. :-(

I don't have any advice for the blogger problem other than to switch to another provider - maybe WordPress. I'm part of a joint blog there but I don't have anything to do with the maintenance, someone else takes care of that. I do enjoy your posts even though I don't always comment.

Problems with Blogger caused me to quit blogging a couple of years ago too. And like you it was a way for me to reference my creations and even events and life experiences. Now I mainly add cards to Facebook and Pinterest. It’s not as fulfilling as blogging was but again I have accepted it as a way to share a few cards. I wish you luck on your next posting adventure!

To my knowledge, I haven't had any posts removed. I just looked back at my very first month of posting in 2012, and I don't see anything missing. I sure hope you're able to figure out a way to continue blogging; I enjoy your posts so much!

I don't have any advice.
How did you know they were doing this?

Instagram is great but I've been shadowed banned there for the last few years because of other things I follow and like. It appears that's what blogspot must be doing then too. It's like they take my posts out of the algorithm or whatever it is they do. So annoying.
