What happened Friday?

There were no updates here on Friday due to an outage by Google's Blogger platform. Items were queued to post but they were not posted. I did not have access to make any updates.

The Blogger system managed to keep the site up and available so any visitors here were able to read the posts and follow the links but wouldn't have been able to comment.

For those who also subscribe to the Facebook group, I was able to provide an update there. If you are not yet subscribed on Facebook, you may want to consider joining the group. There tends to be less posts than those shown daily here. There also tends to be more conversation around some of the posts.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen the update:

Blogger will be in read-only mode while we resolve some maintenance issues. Sorry for the inconvenience.http://j.mp/jGNkkr

As I re-read the update, would you have known that Blogger meant Franklin Matters? Probably not. I'll need to do better next time.
