MSN Spaces URL Changes Complete
Late last night, finally, we were able to complete the changes to the MSN Spaces URL structure. When you have to modify 8.8 million rows (one row in the blogs table, and another in a special lookup table), it takes a long time - three days to be exact. But thanks to heroic efforts by Rob and Dave, we were able to get it finished. There will most likely be some changes to the spider code soon so that links to the old style URLs will be counted, thus we won't have to add 4.4 million new entries to the alternative URL table to cover them. Thanks to everyone for all your patience during this time, hopefully we won't have to do it again!

Hadn't you heard? Blogger is closing blogspot.com and moving everyone over to blogger.com
Just kidding.

My blog hasn't been indexed in two weeks. Is there something wrong?
