I feel like #@!$ today
Question: Know why?
Answer: Blogger Support
I have two simultaneous but completely unrelated problems on my blog.
1. My Google Friends Connect gadget does not update when I get a new follower. It has shown Nick Wilford as my most recent sign-up'er for weeks, (*waves to Nick*), but I have at least a dozen new peeps following who remain un-displayed.
(BTW, this is the reason I am now using DISQUS commenting system. Please fill in the blanks the next time you leave me a comment! You only have to do it once; DISQUS will remember you. And that way I will have another trail back to your blog, if I've never been there before. Thanks in advance!!)
2. I have a new blog layout in mind that will include a slider to display artwork for my short fiction and include links to the stories. (If you know me, you know I change this blog rather often-ish. Graphic art is on my top five list of passions.) Anywhooz, I uploaded into my "practice blog" the HTML coding for the new blog and checked it in the Preview mode. It's going to look beastly!! But when I click Save Template, I get an error message. I've tried in Google Chrome and IE9, I've tried other third party templates, I've tried everything I can think of! Every time I get a different error code that always starts with 'bX-'.
So, I did what any reasonably intelligent blogger does: I posted two different questions in the Blogger Help Forum, one for each of my issues. Usually, someone (*waves to Dark UFO*) gets right back to me.
This time, nada. Rien. Absolulte radio silence.
ARGGG!!!
In the meantime while I wait for help, I've tweaked this old blog template. Looks sleeker, I think. :))
Hey if you've ever encountered any of my problems, won't you tell me about it in the comments? Oh, and I have lots of other problems, if we don't share one listed above. Like, I steal Halloween candy out of my kids' pumpkins. And I hate housework so I keep the place "tidy" until someone says, "Um, Mom/Dear? I went down the hall and walked right into a spider's web. Is there any still in my hair?" And I cuss. Sort of a lot. (Hey, lots of situations warrant it!)
Hope your week's off to a great start. I'm off to check the Blogger Help Forum...again. Then maybe I'll see if any of the kids has a Snickers left...
