For the last 2 days, no .blogspot page will load.

How will the world read what I had for dinner?

I've heard of 2 or 3 hour outages, but 2 days? What is going on?

I just viewed my blog on a PC at work, but then I get home to my MacBook Pro and Safari just won't load a single .blogspot page.

WTF?

Are they blogs that require a password to view?

No. They're mine. Plus I've tried to view random blogs, and blogs I've visited before and remember the addresses of.

I can sign in okay. Just can't view a single f'ing blog. So f'ing annoying.

Why just me?

Could it be something to do with my Safari preferences? I recently "reset Safari", but then, I've done that before without this happening.

Just downloaded Firefox and am having the same problem. So I guess it's not a browswer issue.

(Sorry this isn't in the Applications forum... mods?)

Yeah, because I'm seeing it just fine.

Maybe go to your Blogger account page, log out, quit Safari, go back to your blogger account, log back in, and see if that fixes things? Could be a keychain prob...

Well, I did what you suggested, and it still won't load. I don't know that it's a keychain issue, because I'm the only one who uses this computer.

Have you installed firewalls? A friend of mine had that exact problem a couple of weeks ago (but on a PC) and it was her firewall blocking it.

Day three, and the world pines to know what I am going to have for lunch.

I have 3 questions:

1. Is it possible that the problem could lie with Blogger and only affect my computer?
2. If no, could this be a virus?
3. If no, what on earth is the reason I can't load .blogspot pages from my computer?

This is getting ridiculous.

What else can I do?

It's not a cookie issue.
It's not a Fire Wall issue.
It's not a SafariPlus issue.
It's not even a Safari issue.
It's not a Key Chain issue.
It's local to my computer.

Any more suggestions?

Oh. My. God.

South Korean government *might be* blocking blogs in lead up to election:

The Real Blogger Status

Seoul Buffoon: Blogspot selectively blocked in Korea

Internet is silent as police crack down on political writing : National : Home

(Yes, I am in South Korea)

Try using Tor. That worked pretty well in China for accessing things the nanny didn't want people reading.

That's yer problem. A quick scan of the interweb has all kinds of recent hits about blocking -- and blogger is one of them. A lot of people are posting to their blogs via email, but they can't view them.

Surely you don't mean that this is happening in the Land of the Free too?

The day the blog-o-sphere stood still.

The humanity. The humanity.

Its as if millions of moody teens cried out in horror and then were silenced.
