Blogger
Upate 2: OK, I did something that got the codes to "take". Really logical and simple, too. Not. Closed the IE window and reopened it (which I'd tried before), republished a post (which I'd tried before), then republished the blog (which I'd tried before). Something about the sequence seemed to work. Illogical but hey.
Upate 1: All I can say is "grrr" and "@#$%^&*". Posting is taking forever and changes aren't registering. I click "Publish Post", watch the usual clucking. . .but changes don't show even though I see them in the codes. Grrr.
I warmly acknowledge my debt to blogger.com. Its excellent free (!) service makes it easy and fun to learn websiting in the blink of an eye. But I also must voice enormous frustration because of the (too) many times when the server is very slow and things go utterly awry. What's worse and puzzling, they do not provide back-ups even though one just knows they have back-ups on their servers. During a previous blast of these problems, many bloggers took their words elsewhere. The last few days are reminiscent of that time, as I reconstruct two days' work. Yes, I can redesign; no, it's not the end of the world; yes, it may result in better design in the end. It is, however, hit-your-head-on-the-wall frustrating to save, only to see "this page cannot be displayed" and discover that a mere ten or fifteen lines of code remain.
