I just edited a template in Blogger. With Phoenix. With a </noscript> tag in it. Nothing bad happened.
Thank you Blogger programmers.

I’ve been getting emails recently from people who can only see the first post of their blog after installing yaccs. It turns out that all of them have </noscript> in the noscript section of their code. Maybe they’ve caused a new bug by fixing the old one?
Hmm, nevermind. It seemed to be a problem with the API, but I can’t repeat it. So I guess it was just a temporary problem.
The beauty of linking to your own archives: I totally missed that dig about the stalking. I kind of miss the Shannon-stalking posts, too, although you made up for that recently with a metric arseload of praise.
Ignorant slut. Still oh-so-funny.
I put in the work-around yesterday (finally). I cannot duplicate getting <noscript> (without putting that in specifically). Lemme know if anyone else can. Perhaps that was caused by people trying their own work-around, not knowing that was fixed. Oy.
All of the blogs that had the problems used an API-based template install, so you might want to test the API template functions. But I just tried it and it worked fine. I’m not sure what the problem was (might have been my code, not Blogger’s), but in any case, looks like it’s working great now.
Congratulations, Hossein: just noticed that that was comment number 2000 on my weblog. You win, um, ah, some banal entries as I battle to catch up, with a piddly 547 entries.
Wow…that was quick service. Now if they can just get around to fixing the Blogger permalinks which have been broken since the templates blew up on April 1st…
Oh well, for now I’ve just been working around, republishing my archive every time I post. I can’t complain too much considering I’m still using the free service. :)
What part of whose permalinks is broken how? I’m certainly not completely in touch with every Blogger problem, but I’ve haven’t heard a word about it in comments on either FAQ, on either mailing list, or on my discussion forum, and none of my test blogs seem to have any problem. Details, man, we must have details!
Sorry Phil, I certainly didn’t intend for your blog to become a place for posting problems. I filed a report in controlblogger but it’s still unreviewed.
Anyway, since you ask, basically ever since the failure on April 1st (when I ended up with a really strange template), any new posts I make aren’t also being added to my archives, so permalinks to them won’t work. What I’m doing to workaround for now is just republishing the latest archive page and that works.
Maybe the problem is not as widespread as I thought.
Heh. We don’t stand much on ceremony around here: asking if I’m online and why I don’t have an IM client going in the middle of a standards argument is considered completely on-topic. I might gruntle a little if I thought you were posting there in hopes that Ev. would be back by here (odds are strongly against it), but I didn’t, I was just surprised that I hadn’t heard about it. Since then, I’ve heard about it from former Blogger customer service rep Bill Lazar, and seen it myself, so I’d say it’s now a known problem that’ll probably be fixed.
Somehow I don’t think I’d stand much of a chance in a standards argument with you…but they’re usually fun to watch.
