Sorry for the interruption in posting recently.
The blog was temporarily blocked by Google because they decided it was a so-called "Spam blog".
It seems they have an automated tool that searches blogs and tries to identify automated blogs being used for nefarious purposes, and their algorithm is too aggressive, and there are loads of false positives.
It is illuminating to read the Google help group, which is a forum for people with blogger problems, as this issue affects loads of people using Google Blogger.
There was one poor guy blocked at the same time as us who makes his living out of his blog, and has 400000 hits per month (which is slightly more than we get) - he was blocked. And what is so frustrating is there is no way with Blogger to get to speak, or even e-mail a human being.
Anyway, we are back, and we have resolved to migrate to Wordpress soon.

You could migrate to WordPress.com and get free hosting, like with Blogger. It's a stripped down version of the the WordPress.org platform, not as configurable, but might work. It'll import directly from Blogger.
WordPress.org is powerful and highly configurable. That's what I run at polizeros.com. If you need any help, let me know.
I think we will go down the route of getting our own domain name and hosting, even though that might make it more complicated at first.
But certainly we need all the hlp we can get, so I will bear the offer in mind. thanks.

It should take you about 5 mins. to register Word Press , it is free.
then import the thread, 40-60 mins and comments.
add the links, 15 mins,
pick a nice clear format 3-5 mins.

a piece of cake!
How do you make a living from a blog?
I think we would be hard pressed making a living out of blogging about Cuba and Rifondazione.
The guy in question runs a photography business and sells pictures via his blog. Also you can sell advertising space on your blog, and also merchandise. It is increasingly common.
Even based upon the traffic we get on SU blog, the commercial value of this blog is allegedly $38000.
