Utter Frustration with Blogger!

     I have worked a long time on a new post to show you another new hand-painted silk scarf. But Blogger has a new "interface" that does not work right. The new post keeps getting chopped off when I try to publish the post no matter how many times I have saved my work. 

     Is anyone else having trouble getting a complete post to publish? Do you have any suggestions for me? I will probably not be able to work on the post again for a couple of weeks, but I hope to come through with something for you then.

  1. I have iMac and all Apple computers and phone and haven’t had any problems. I’ve been happy with Blogger, hope they don’t do away with it. I’ve never had ads and like that I have control, don’t you? Maybe you have an old template and can just change to a newer one. I’ve had the same one for years. My computer daughter always tells me to reboot everything. Don’t know if you stay signed in or sign in every time. If you stay signed in you might try signing out and back in and restarting the computer. Otherwise Blogger will maybe help you. Slow assistance online with most things, not enough help. Best of luck to you.

  2. I'm so sorry you are having this problem. I think at this time you are still able to revert back to the old version. I think the select button to revert back is on the lower left side when you are in a post you are creating. I think they are having problems as they keep pushing the effective date out. I have used it and have not experienced the problem you are having. If you go out to Blogger help check their FQ and maybe they will have an answer for you. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  4. You are both so kind, Jo and Nanny; thank you for your responses. Very sorry for being slow to respond--cataract surgery and other boring things going on here. My recovery is going very well.

  5. Ah, hope your cataract surgery went well. I had mine done 25 years ago and my eyes are still great. Hope Blogger has cleared up for you. It is better for me most of the time. Some changes are irritating but work. Ha. Nice to hear from you, take care.

  6. Thanks so much for responding! I was beginning to get worried. Glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery. My husband had that surgery a few years ago and is still doing great! I am on my soon probably. I guess we all get there eventually! I'm starting to get use to the new format, but still like the old one better. Change - change - change! Not for me anymore! Take care of yourself!

  8. Thank you both so very much for trying to keep in touch. Sorry I have not been on Blogger for so long. I have made just the one scarf post since I vented on this one. Our IMAC is out for repair,which is taking a long time because all the Apple stores closed due to the virus. So Best Buy checked it and then shipped it out for the work to be done. They are terribly backed up, so it’s taking weeks. My old tablet is not really adequate for writing a new post. I hope to be back in circulation before too long. Great to hear from y’all!

  13. Thank you, Jo and Nanny! You are such kind blogger friends! I am well and have some creative projects I could post--have been musing lately whether I'd like to get back to blogging. I appreciate your encouragement.

  14. Mary, Blogging isn't used as much anymore. I have a few loyal followers/bloggers. I keep going mostly as a journal and record of my sketches and paintings. I always enjoy your posts. Nice to hear from you.

  15. Yes, Jo, I have realized that there aren't as many active bloggers or blog visitors as there used to be. It makes a lot of sense to use it as a journal. Plus, people like me truly enjoy looking in on you now and then.
