Blogger returns from the outage

In the software development world, there is something called 'eating your own dogfood'. It means, though you not only provide the service, but you yourself use it as a customer. Google's Blogger runs this site, and there has been an outage over the last day... [ though I've been experiencing such withdrawal, it's felt like three days for me... how sad am I :-(   ].

However, frustrating the blogger outage might have been, that Google eat its own dog food is the only thing that's made it acceptable. From Blogger's blog, Blogger is Back:

What a frustrating day. We're very sorry that you’ve been unable to publish to Blogger for the past 20.5 hours. [...] We use Blogger for our own blogs, so we’ve also felt your pain.
