Default Blogs won't update

I have some blogs on my customized Google homepage and they have stopped updating.

Any suggestions as to why and how I could fix that?

Load the RSS feed directly and see if that works. Could be just the blogs.

But iGoogle has been known to take a while in its updating of widgets.

I can load the feeds manually but nothing on my Google homepage is updating now. None of my news sites, the blogs I follow etc. It is just stagnant and stays the same.

Try using a different browser and see if that helps. Also try doing a full page refresh (and clearing temporary files).

If none of that works, try logging out and back in. Beyond that, chances are that iGoogle is having issues with your account. Might want to fire off an email if Google offers any sort of support.

Well, figured something out. Google apparently saves your information at regular intervals and you can revert back to the last saved home page. I did that and now things seem to be updating normally.

Hmm, good to know.

I'm totally locked into iGoogle. I use the reader, have gmail and use the search exclusively. At this point I think it might cause some sort of culture clash if I were to try out one of the newer more sexy portals out there...

DAMN YOU GOOGLE!
