Blogger.com and all the blogs on BlogSpot have had intermittant problems all morning and are completely down right now — hitting Blogger’s front door variously gives a 502 error or a “down for maintenance” message.
This has exposed a flaw in our new Blidgets feature: bad error reporting. When people try to create a Blidget from their Blogger blog, it fails but doesn’t give an error about the underlying site and RSS feed being down.
Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience. We are aware of the problem and implementing better messages right now.
Update 10:20am: Blogger seems to be back up and you can again create BlogSpot blidgets.
Hm. Well. I just tried again and had no luck. I wonder if the problem is not enterely solved?
My previous feed is:

I am not able to create a Blidget. The one I had did not show any updated posts.
What is wrong. Do I need another format?
