Technical Difficulties - Again

All is not well in Blogger land, again..... Most of the links on my page refuse to work, and I know how important it is to recognize those of you who are so kind to join in Wednesday Words. I apologize, on behalf of Blogger and myself, I have given it my all, but nothing seems to be changing. I am hoping for spontaneous changes, that one day I will just wake up and it will be all wonderful again. Until then, well I guess a good gin and tonic takes away the worries - I am just kidding. There were ongoing issues with the scheduled posts, and that finally seems to have righted itself. And there are a few other issues that keep popping up. The thought of moving to Type Pad, or Word press "do you hear that Blogger?" has crossed my mind many time, and I might still do it. There are some good reasons why I have stayed with Blogger during all these trials. And I would hate to move, but if things don't start looking better soon, I might be moving house soon. I would ask you to leave a comment, but apparently that is not working either. Amendment: Some people are able to comment today, and sometimes the comment words disappear. Many thanks to those of you who are commenting, at least I know I am reaching some readers. Jen

  4. So far so good over at my place....at least my VIRTUAL place....at my real live home, I awoke to no hot water. *sigh* Doesn't bode well for the rest of the day.

    You'll continue to reach readers, if you don't see evidence of them here in your comments. Deep breath. It will sort itself out eventually, or, like you said, you'll make a move. Let us know where you go, if you can.

  7. Morning Jen, So sorry for your aggravation...my followers won't show up on my blog and neither will the word "comment." I've done everything I know. As you say, hopefully one day, things will just magically be back again. I hope you enjoy the weekend. I took this chance to read over your Wed. Words post again - that really touched my heart this week.

  8. I've had troubles too, and I have found emptying the cookies, history file, etc. helps.

  9. Sorry things aren't working well and hope they're all better soon. I am receiving the feed from your blog, so I'm selfishly happy for that! If this comment posts, then I guess I'm one of the few to get thru, so I wish I had something more 'important' to say, or 'deep thoughts' to share...LOL!

  11. Hi Jen

    I find blogger incredibly 'glitchy'.

    Anyway, I hear you loud 'n' clear.

  12. Blogger seems to be going mayhem!

    Move to system that actually works, is my vote!

  13. I had to redo my posting three times this morning before I got it up. I would get it about finished and add a picture and the whole posting would just disappear.I was so ticked off. I even tried saving it as I went and that didn't help. So much for the saving feature this morning.I finally got it up after two hours of frustration.
    So i definitely know what your feeling.Hope the rest of your day goes better Jen.

  16. The blogger glitches were around my blog too .. I just leave it alone and come back later and usually it is okay. I've thought of moving too, as you are doing, but end up staying at blogger as I love all the features and ease of doing things. Hang in there as I'm sure it will improve.

  17. I would like to know the difference between workpress and typepad myself. Let us know what you decide to do....I want to be able to visit you.

  18. I've seen a pattern with this blogger thing. If the verification is set up like yours--I can't post most of the time without submitting it several times. But if the verification is set more simply I have no problems. I hope that helps.

Your comments are the flowers that bloom in my virtual blogging garden.
