Google Blogger Problem: You have logged out from another location. Do you want to log in again


Today, I had difficulty with my blogs and Google Blogger.  I would click on a blog to edit a comment that I received and from my Blogger dashboard, the page would load, but after the header I would get this error:

You have logged out from another location. Do you want to log in again

When I clicked yes, it opened a new window, and I got the same deal, all the while saying that I was logged in, but the popup box telling me that I wasn't.  My google account at YouTube worked and my Gmail worked, so it was a head-scratcher.

 After searching fruitlessly to report this to Google, I found that there is no direct way to contact Google by email.  After a long more useless link clicking, I came upon the Blogger forum.  It turns out that I was not alone.

Yesterday, the community forum guy from Google said to log in using httpS at blogger.com.  I kept missing the httpS and just tried logging in using http.  ie go to https://www.blogger.com and log in.  I did and all was working again after trying intermittently all day.  What a royal pain.

So, do a secure login with https at blogger.com.  It works, because I am posting this now and I couldn't get to my blogs at all today.

Hope this helps.
