So let me explain what's happening with Blogger Buster at the moment, along with a few hints about what you can expect in the forthcoming weeks.
Problems with my file hosts
Many of you have reported problems downloading templates and other files which are hosted on http://bloggerbuster.com.This is because my hosting service has been completely overpowered by the sheer number of requests for files and has been temporarily suspended. I need to transfer all of my files over to a new (enhanced) hosting account which can cope with this level of bandwidth, but I'm afraid it's taking a little longer than expected due to some issues I'm having with FTP.
I may well need to move all these files to a completely different location, and if so, I will of course update with the new URLs you'll need to download these files. My main concern is to find a reliable file host for all our file-hosting needs, and which won't impact too much on the running of this site. Please bear with me while I make new arrangements for these files.
What I'm working on now
There have been several developments for Blogger (and perhaps more planned for coming months), so as you may imagine I've been working on these developments to create useful resources and tutorials for you all.In particular, I've been learning a lot about the Gadget API for Blogger. This enables us to create interesting, useful and interactive gadgets for Blogger using a system which (I feel) is a great improvement to using widget installers.
I've created a few Gadgets for Blogger now which I'll post about over the coming days (though you may already be able to find some if you search for "Blogger Buster" when adding a gadget to your layout).
Update #1
I've just managed to get a new laptop, and have spent the past few days transferring over my files and settings. Finally, all is fixed so I'll have a new post (or two) up this weekend :)
Blogger is still looking for web designers and artists!
A couple of weeks ago, the Blogger team tweeted a request for web designers and artists who are interested in designing templates for Blogger.com.If you're a web/blog designer or artist, this is something you may well want to check out. You can find out more and register your interest in participating on this page.
Requests for tutorials and gadgets
If you have any particular requests for tutorials or Blogger gadgets, please let me know about these by leaving your suggestions in the comments.While I can't promise to fulfil every request, I'll try to do the most popular ones over the coming weeks.
There's so much happening at the moment and many more updates in progress which I really look forward to showing you in the future.
Thank you all for visiting, subscribing and sticking around!

Wow. Blogger is looking for new designers. I wish I know how to design. hehehhe
Hii Thanks,Just Say hello from ecomputex
I truly understand about not having enough time in the day to do all that you want and need to do.
I'm still working my way through your helpful guide. Truly hope Blogger is working on new templates or give folks an easier way to modify existing ones.
I don't need widgets and gadgets as much as I need blog template design flexibility. Hang in there and honor the nap time when you can get it.
It doesnot matter Amanda, i understand....
Good to see you coming back.
"How to create a landing page with blogger".
That's my request for next tutorial

Thanks Amanda for making me aware that blogger is looking for designers. I have just submitted my application and hope to get a response soon :)
If you guys do not know who I am, My name is Kenneth Lemus and I run the design blog http://www.zixpk.com/ which is run on the amazing blogger platform. I also have some free blogger templates that you guys are free to use :)
just great to see you up..please can anyone have a look at my site and tell me what i need to put in place. Suggestions and criticisms are welcome.
Amanda,
I found your gadgets and checked them out.. thanks for the work.
FYI the Picasa photostream is NOT really the latest photo as stated "Display thumbnails of your most recent Picasa photos" and it's NOT your fault!!
Yes one would THINK that the API would return the latest N photos (as stated) but there has been an extremely annoying BUG in the code AND documentation for well over a YEAR.
see http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=280.
It's pretty sad really, because it would be a great gadget!!
Thanks for the update. If possible I would love a good example / descriptin of a meta description and meta tags. Also, where to actually put them.
@Amanda
Just compress the files on your host and use ssh to download it onto your new host.. It will just take minutes.. Btw i do recommend you to use host gator.. They provide unlimited bandwidth for $120 per year
What would be wonderful would be some kind of gadget that stops all those blasted music players from activating the second you visit a blog.
Not only do I NOT want the sound blasting out and frightening me (although I now try to turn the sound off all the time) I find it really frustrating to have the screen hang for up to 5 minutes at a time while the playlists load up. I have 8meg speed on broadband too! I use Firefox, and not only does the screen hang, but I can't even delete the blog in question.
I don't suppose there is any downloadable playlist out there that doesn't start unless you TELL it to? Just stays quiet unless you choose to hear the music?
I absolutely accept about not accepting abundant time in the day to do all that you wish and charge to do.
I'm still alive my way through your accessible guide. Absolutely achievement Blogger is alive on new templates or accord association an easier way to adapt absolute ones.
I don't charge widgets and accessories as abundant as I charge blog arrangement architecture flexibility. Hang in there and account the nap time if you can get it.
Amanda,
Welcome back, and looking forward for your new blogger widget.
By the way, as for the tutorial, I would really love one about how to get away from the Operation Aborted Error message which is causing all blogger sites to throw a blank page while loading.
I went through a lot of archives, and did everything to control it, but it seems IE has started rejecting any scripts inside its body text (which happens intermittently), unless it is added in the head part.
With the new blogger design, and mostly evident blog platforms, having script widgets inside body part is imminent, and not something you can avoid.
I would love you advise on how to get away with this, I tried removing some, replacing some, even taking some out of the body tag, but the issue still keeps happening intermittently... IE really sucks, to say the least :) :(

Hey Amanda, Thanks for all the great work you do with Blogger Buster. I'd like to request a possible tutorial when you get the chance. If you've already covered this, I apologize and hopefully I'll find the tutorial eventually.
Some of the Blogger templates that are out there now do not have a header section (for example the two different Dots templates offered by Blogger). Could you offer a tutorial for how to correctly add a header section to a template, and also how to create a top navigational bar similar to the one you have created for Blogger Buster?
Thanks so much.

The threat to use liability on intermediaries is a chilling tactic divergent from any of the controls being used in our institution.
Though the strategy is regularly criticized by experts in the field, it is being used under the guise of implicit analogies tacitly approved by those at the top.
