Problems with Google Blogger!

Over last weekend I finally did the move to the "new blogger" that Google now runs. So nice now to have all three on one dashboard, no more signing in and out of each to post on them. But, unlike the old blogger the new one (Googles) hasn't allowed Hipcast and maybe other programs to work in the new blogger. It was so easy to record a audio and or video in Hipcast and post right into ones blog. So nice where the old days, Google has had Blogger for a time now and still hasn't sent a certificate to Hipcast that ‘authenticates’ Hipcast as as a trusted source.



Hipcast works with a few of the popular blogging services and Typepad.com so far doesn't seem to have a issue with one posting from Hipcast. I still have nine months paid in my Hipcast account and want to stay with them but..... Blogger is and was great till I moved to the new Google Blogger. I'm hoping things get worked out and soon. I'm not looking forward to having to move to another blogging service, because I was very happy with Blogger until the move. Maybe Google ran into a problem but if so I haven't seen anything posted and still haven't gotten a reply from Googles tech support on the Google Blogger/Hipcast problem? I'm sure we are not a small group that enjoy the use of the two sites!


Or could the problem be with Hipcast.com?

What does the future hold for me?

Ubuntu


Ubuntu is Free Software, and available to you free of charge. It's also Free in the sense of giving you rights of Software Freedom, but you probably knew that already! Unlike many of the other commercial distributions in the free and open source world, the Ubuntu team really does believe that Free software should be free of software licencing charges.
Just give it a test run and you'll see why you'll keep it! Ubuntu
