Jeez....what in Gods name are Blogger up to now? It is perhaps not courteous to bite the hand that feeds you and feeds you for free into the bargain but hells bells and little fishes, never in all this time have I know our beloved server to be quite such a pain!
Last night, again it took a nose dive, it did allow me to post a picture but then refused point blank to let me into the dshboard or beyond to add any text. An hour and five minutes (yes I timed it) it took to load the page, not even an internal server error message, nothing, just a progress bar interminably making no progress. Success at last, I made it to 'edit posts' only to discover, yes you guessed it, again another unending wait. Not one to leave half a post hanging in mid cyberspace I persisted.......another half an hour to make it to 'delete post'! Arghhhhhh. Having made it that far I hit delete....more waiting and then, joy..... it froze my pc!
I re-booted a thousand times, I reconnected more, I blamed my appalling dialup connection but no, webpages the world over were fine, it was of course another Blogger gremlin!
This morning a little improvement, it kindly allowed me to post a comment the blogs of two others before fading like a dying swan yet again. It has struggled now, at a snails pace, as far as 'new post' but will this ever make it into the blogosphere I wonder.
Much more of this and I'm off elsewhere and be damned to the web spiders, life is too short to get stressed about something I do for fun!
Here's hoping this post makes it..........
P.S. I am amused to note that even with the weight of Google behind them, the Blogger dashboard this morning has a somewhat 'broken' sidebar! :o)

Its been like this for about 10 days for me. In fact i was begginning to think it was my isp fault being dial up and all. I agree it is a pain, i just think it can't keep up with the demand...perhaps blogger servers are to small.
I keep trying to tell ya... Blogger stinks, sister!
I had hrrendous problems while I was at Dad's so I just gave up and didn't bother in the end. I was wondering whether so many people have signed up to blog their novels this month that they now can't cope. And I haven't started to uplod mine yet!! :)
Ever visit Status.Blogger.Com? They say one of their servers is teething and they're working on it, plus being overwhelmed by the popularity of the service, for which they're adding more hardware.
he he he... i hope i dont jinx myself by noting this, but....I think blogging's a lot like sex, or animal training. think happy thoughts, dont complain no matter how long ya gotta wait for it, and never ever ever forget to stroke the moniter gently and speak highly complimentary words to it..works for me! oooo, nice blogger! looking sooooo good today! sweetie, ya need to ditch the clocks visable from yer desk and remember that 'puter time is just like monoply money, it doesnt exist in the real world but is sure fun to play with!
Michelle: Eekkkk 10 days, I would be hairless!
Menina: Aint it just...particularly for us women! hehe
Anon: I know, I know....much more of this and I will be convinced!
Jenny: I wondered that too but if you follow DKG's link it says server probs. (as ever)
Jack: You and me too....at least 'server error' is more than I got last night.
DKG: Thanks for that, at least I know it's not me! I think you pointed me in that direction before but I forgot about it! Doh! :o/
Magz: lmao.... woman you are something else! I'm gonna give it a go but I sure as hell hope I have a 'boy pute' here! :o)
Jack: Awwwwww..... maybe you have an unreponsive pc!!!
Hey, I got so desperate that when I could post, I posted the questions asking what was wrong with it since my blog was all sideways. Gemmak very nicely "talked me down".
:)
I guess you're right though - it is free so we can't yell too much. NOT LIKE THE ISP I PAY $23 A MONTH FOR THAT NEVER WORKS!
Scarlett: It is free in the first instance but I wonder just how much we pay by default on goods with hiked proces because the maufacturer has paid to advertise with Google among others!
