Here's a problem with having Blogger host your blog:
This blog has been locked by Blogger's spam-prevention robots. You will not be able to publish your posts, but you will be able to save them as drafts.

That's the message I received today when I tried to post to my other blog titled "krooz."
I'm sure it's because of two things:
1. I ran the list of blogging metaphors from Liz Strauss's blog (which included my metaphor post "Feeding on Plankton.")
2. I've been linking to my previous posts in my series "It May Not Be Your Passion If" - perhaps not the most efficient method of linking, but hey, shoot me!
I'm not sure when Blogger will let me post again to "krooz." I did a quick Google search on the words "Blogger's spam-prevention robots" and came up with a bunch of similar stories.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a spam blog. One pair of human eyes could quickly come to this conclusion.
This could go either way - Blogger could quickly restore my ability to post my own writings, or it could take days. And I could go either way too - I could stay with Blogger and continue to recommend the service, or I could jump ship and go somewhere else (most likely On My Own) if I'm unhappy with the outcome.
The ball's in your court, Blogger...
