Back up and running

Today was the day that "Five Before Midnight" was flagged as being a spam blog by Blogger and locked so that it couldn't be updated until Google, which owns Blogger reviewed the blog and determined whether or not it constituted spam. They did that this afternoon and reinstated it soon after.

Problems with the autosave function likely triggered the erroneous flagging.

What happens is that Blogger provides a form for bloggers to fill out and send in which is to be processed within two business days but in many cases takes longer than that.

Fortunately for this blog, it only took several hours and Blogger in its wisdom determined that this blog is not spam and unlocked the blog. So after a fallow period accented by a scheduled maintenance period at 4 p.m., "Five Before Midnight" is up and running again.

Thank you Blogger and I really mean that.
