Access Problems on WRSA, War on Guns, and Mindful Musings

UPDATE 850 am edt 2 August 08: Blogger seems to have fixed its issue, and based on feedback to this site and others, I have removed the Sitemeter blog stats engine. All systems appear go, and we resume normal broadcasting at this time.

UPDATE 11 pm edt 1 August 08: Viewers using the MS Internet Explorer web browser cannot reliably access this site, WoG, or Chris Horton's blog "Mindful Musings" as of 1045 pm edt on 1 August.

Use of the Safari and Firefox browsers does permit access to all 3 sites at this time.

More as/if we know more.

*********************

David Codrea's blog "The War on Guns" has been off the air since earlier today, when, due to a software glitch by Blogger that has affected other sites as well, WoG was blocked as a so-called "spam site".

Here's the text from Blogger:

Spam Fridays
While we wish that every post on this blog could be about cool features or other Blogger news, sometimes we have to step in and admit a mistake.

We've noticed that a number of users have had their blogs mistakenly marked as spam, and wanted to sound off real quick to let you know that, despite it being Friday afternoon, we are working hard to sort this out. So to those folks who have received an email saying that your blog has been classified as spam and can't post right now, we offer our sincere apologies for the trouble.

We hope to have this resolved shortly, and appreciate your patience as we work through the kinks.
