Blogger (BlogSpot) status (or why this and other blogs have been acting up)

According to the Blogger status page, the site is having stability problems. Blogger notes that most of these problems have been caused by an increased amount of load on the blogger.com application servers. An increased amount of load means both more people reading blogs and more people creating blogs. Blogger (BlogSpot) promises to work on the problems by increasing capacity and making other changes to the system.
