Google Blogger was knocked offline for 90 minutes over the weekend, as Google suffered another of its increasingly common outages.
The problems were acknowledged in a terse statement on the service's Twitter feed, which noted "we're investigating an outage on blogger.com. Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this."
The statement offered no explanation on the cause of the problem, which crashed the service between 7.30am and 9am BST on Saturday morning.
"Users were unable to access their Blogger accounts and some people had trouble viewing others' blogs. We worked quickly to address and fix the issue, and we apologise for any inconvenience to our users," says Google in a statement.
The Blogger problems are the latest in a string of outages suffered by Google's services. Gmail was knocked offline twice in September, the first time ironically due to server maintenance intended "to improve service availability".
This was followed by problems with Google's popular news aggregator service.
The problems comes as Google begins a major marketing push aimed at convincing corporate customers to abandon Microsoft for its cloud-based products.
