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.

As with any infrastructure, there is a reasonably high cost in
changing, as people have become used to a certain way of doing things,
and porting the contents from the old system to the new one requires
additional effort.

Blogger has its problems, but it typically gets the job done well
enough (modulo cases like the one currently affecting Doug and his
team).

Cheers,
Nick.
