blogs.office.com disappeared

[Ingeborg Hawighorst]

Hello, can anyone tell me what happened to blogs.office.com? The URL now redirects to the Microsoft home page and none of my saved links to blog posts work anymore. The RSS feed last updated on Friday 29-Sep, but none of the links in the RSS messages work.

What's happening?

[#2]

Still not working here in Austria (EUROPE) - being again redirected to microsoft.com

[#3]

I see a DNS issue flash up before it redirects to the Microsoft home page.

[#4]

Still not working for me. I am located in Bangalore.

[#5]

Still not working from the UK.

Definitely seems like a geo issue, whether that's something in front of the site like DNS, CDN, load balancing, proxy, something like that perhaps.  Another tool shows this in action:

[#6]

Still unavailable for me in Canada...

Working now, thanks for resolving this.

[#8]

Good to see it back!

[#9]

Thanks all - please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

All good for me now! Thanks @Anna!

I'm still having a problem with the RSS feed. It's updating the xml, but Innoreader hasn't been able to read it in weeks. There's a lot of errors on feed validator too. I'm subscribing to https://blogs.office.com/en-us/feed/.

Same here: problems with the RSS feed.

We're looking into it - will get back to you.

Thanks Anna! I've reached out to the Inoreader team too and they're looking into it from their end as well. Their last response was that "At first glance it looks like they don't "like" our useragent."

FWIW, MS Outlook feed reader is working fine again now.

[#18]

Inoreader appears to work again too.

Working for me too, thanks all!
