BACK IN BUSINESS!!

Nine days after their "automated process" erroneously determined my blog was a cause of spam (how book reviews cause spam is anyone's guess) and constant pestering by me, Blogger support finally got around to reviewing my case and determined I was a good citizen after all. In an e-mail they wrote:

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in. We apologize for the delayed response. It seems
that your blog was mistakenly targeted by our automated spam classifying
system. However, I have checked your blog and can verify that it complies
with our Terms of Service. I was able to restore it to your account, so
you should see it the next time you log in. I also cleared it for regular
use so that this problem will not recur...

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused, and greatly
appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,
Blogger Support

So we finally have a promise in writing. All this is fine with me since I prefer to publish to my own site (a choice that has been proven wise given this recent mess) and Blogger is one of the few that allows this without a great deal of configuration. Now if they would only add categories...

Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do. First thing is to change some things on this blog. I will be resticting this blog to content related to Christian books and move other content to one or more other blogs I will be creating. The whole affair has put me far behind schedule but at least now I can begin getting back to the books. Thanks to everyone for their patience.

In Christ,

Albert
