Picture of T.J. Conrad, 22 years old killed in Afghanistan because of the burning of a Koran. Flesh and Blood shed in the name of printed type. WE apologized for destroying a book, but where's the apology for TJ CONRAD and his now seven month old baby girl pictured here? Why is his life less valuable than inanimate material?

Talk about your tangled webs!  When you start looking at the online terrorist community you can get lost in a never ending circle.  Here's the journey I took today - starting where else?  YouTube, the terrorists dream come true.  Let's take a trip, shall we? Isn't that sweet?  An old man strapped with a suicide belt.   This video is apparently so good it has 2 sequels:   In part 3 there we see the suicide terrorist waving goodbye from a car that's driving away, and then later in part 3 - BOOM!  He blows himself to hell. In case...

Yes, Islamic law really does forbid conversion. Let's just hope Saudi blogger Hamoud Bin Saleh doesn't receive Muhammad's preferred punishment for apostates: beheading. Arresting converts and critics is exactly what you'd expect from our "partners" in the War on Terror, isn't it? But would you expect Google's blogspot platform to go along with Saudi Arabia's request to ban Saleh's website? You. Bet.

HELP! When I went to log on to BlogSpot (Blogger.Com), the place to click the button after entering UserName and Password is GONE! WHERE is that Button? It looks like they changed the format and in the process forgot to INCLUDE the button to click to log in.

WHAT is there problem?

After reading how Google has been de-linking some Conservative opinion sites from "Google News" (Google claimed that articles linking islamifascism with terrorism were "hatespeech") I am now thinking that I should move my blogs from Blogspot (owned by Google). Anyone have any suggestions on blog hosting alternatives that aren't likely to censor conservative blogs (or rat out readers to the Chicomm State Security)? I can do basic HTML (links, images) and can handle FTP if necessary. TIA - Y

I can see the Blogs at BlotSpot but I CAN'T post a new Blog edition. It has been like this for at least 2 hours. Anybody else having the same problem posting there.

In case any of you are are finding it impossible to access your BlogSpot Blogs this morning, don't feel alone. The whole site is down. It was okay around 7 A.M. but sometime later the site went down.

What's with BlogSpot.Com? EVERY morning that site turns SLOOOOWER than Molasses. I am trying to put up a Blog edition there right now but am hampered by the fact that it is frustratingly slow. Anybody know when this problem will be FIXED? The worst time of the day seems to be around 9 AM EST.

Does anyone know anything about Blogger/Blogspot being down. I get a "Cannot find server error" on some, but not all, blogspot.com sites.

I received a graphic from CentCom to put on my blog, Marathon Pundit. An army specialist sent it to me for my blog. I don't know how to use it as a button to put in on my blog. Also, a blog serving as a clearinghouse of sorts for Illinois bloggers is looking for an RSS feed to put on their blog? Any FReepers know how to do this? I'm using Blogger.com

Anyone know anything about Blogger/Blogspot being down? Are they experiencing a DOS attack, or just tech errors? A lot of Blogs are currently down.

I've just started a blog, and I had e-mailed to me a 30 second TV commercial from a political campaign a few years back, that's suddenly become timely. How can I post it???

Okay, people. I need some help. Anyone who visits my blog knows that I obviously suck at HTML, and just general computer related stuff. So, if anyone knows of any really cool sites that provide comment services, bulletin boards, banners, free customized polls, or other very cool blogging tools, please post them here so that we can all read them, and so that hopefully, my blog will stop embarrassing my friends. Thanks, FReeepers!

Ben Hammersley reports on his exclusive glimpse of a new weblog program set to take the web by storm Wednesday April 23, 2003 The company behind one of the weblog world's most popular tools is preparing to launch a new service which will attack market leaders Blogger.com head on. SixApart, the company behind the Movable Type weblogging system, is to lanch a new "hosted" service called TypePad later this year. Like its rival, Blogger, the new system will be stored along with the user's writing on a central server. This means that, for the first time, budding webloggers who want...

February 15, 2003 Google Buys Pyra: Blogging Goes Big-Time • posted by Dan Gillmor 07:41 PM• permanent link to this item NOTE: This is a slightly edited version of a special column running in tomorrow's San Jose Mercury News. We're posting it early to get the story out. Weblogs are going Googling. Google, which runs the Web's premier search site, has purchased Pyra Labs, a San Francisco company that created some of the earliest technology for writing weblogs, the increasingly popular personal and opinion journals. The buyout is a huge boost to an enormously diverse genre of online publishing...
