Scheduled Blogger outage coming up

There have been more than a few *unscheduled* outages on Blogger lately (Friday evening, Monday morning...) and so it's nice to have actual notice of one.

At 4PM PST (7PM EST, midnight GMT) today there will be a brief outage on Blogger while they do some dusting and cleaning:

We'll be taking Blogger down on Wednesday the 25th at 4pm PST to fix a bit of a switch that's gone wonky on us. The outage should last about 15 minutes. Blogger.com and Blog*Spot blogs will be inaccessible during this time.

This repair will fix the problem that caused the brief outage last Friday night. We're also using this down time as an opportunity to tune our databases for more efficient spam catching and deletion.
