I would at least like to know whether the "bX-qpvq7q" problem is being worked on, so I can decide whether to take a hiatus or start moving us to another platform. There are a lot of posts about the error on the support forums, but no obvious response from Google.

With respect to Google Blogger, I don't see a good reason to use it as
the platform for the blog. IMHO it would be much better to go for a
less-dependencies approach and just deploy a Wordpress installation,
or possibly even something Python-based (if volunteers to maintain it
are found.
