by I need your help testing a new blog I have set up on blog.BolesUniversity.com — hosted by Blogger — for a special, super-secret, project I am working on and I hope I can share the details with you soon.
Please let me know your experience on that blog both here and there so you can directly report your comparative experiences.
David,
Checked the new page…it’s working fine! Good luck! 🙂
Thanks, Katha!
How are my other websites loading for you?
Done and comments left.
Thank you my darling Nicola!
Sadly, I get “server not found” for blog.BolesUniversity.com
The www host lookup works though
Nom : http://www.bolesuniversity.com
Address: 64.49.219.239

Thanks for the feedback. Can you hit it now? I just checked and the blog is there and I have new comments this morning.
Perhaps this is a propagation issue? I was shocked to see the CNAME change immediately take effect here. We might not be so lucky across the world…
UPDATE:
Ha! I was just “talking to Chris” in comments on the blog @BU and this page loaded over there:
We’re going on 5 minutes and I still can’t get back in…
Hi David,
Sometimes Blogger doesn’t work properly. Always save a draft if the article doesn’t publish properly.
Excellent advice, Chris! I always copy and save EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE, Chris — even right here on WP.com just to be safe.
I’m from the old CP/M Kaypro days where you better save everything all the time or you lose everything in a power surge.
😀
There are some people who are having trouble hitting the new blog website address. I guess some parts of the world are still propagating the CNAME change…
David,
Still not working from my office, will have to try from home and see what happens…

Very strange, fruey!
What happens when you try to go here:
http://bolesuniversity.blogspot.com
Does it load or not or resolve to blog.bolesuniversity.com?
I have a friend in California who could not hit the blog yesterday, but on Sunday we had access from Jersey City, Indiana, North Dakota and the UK just to name a few.
How often does your ISP refresh their DNS tables?
http://bolesuniversity.blogspot.com resolves to blog.bolesuniversity.com
It’s an internal company DNS but I’m getting strange results here.

Forget DNSstuff.com! None of my CNAME forwards show up there correctly:
mail.bolesuniversity.com
start.bolesuniversity.com
calendar.bolesuniversity.com
All come up dead and they all work just fine — but if you do domain search on those subdomains here:
http://centralops.net/co/
You’ll see everything is set up and WHOIS-able. I guess Google doesn’t like DNSstuff.com, eh?
😀
So are you able to hit the blog or not?
I can now reveal the reason behind the secrecy: I am writing a book on Google Apps for your Domain for Thomson publishing and Blogger integration with GAYD is an important part of the functionality of the service and the experience of the book.
