Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Whew, I'm Back!

As I'm sure some of you have noticed (maybe it was just Sandy), this blog has not been accessible. I couldn't figure out why I was only having problems with this one and tried several different things. I finally noticed under blogger settings that it wanted me to revert to a classic template if I was using an external FTP server. I switched to the classic template and could see everything fine, but all my widgets were gone and the only way to re-add would be through some serious html coding. I had no option of the easy features blogger offers. I couldn't figure out why this changed. I never had to use the classic template when I moved from bravenet to blogger, and I racked my brain and read a lot of stuff I didn't fully understand to try and figure it out. I also found out that the people who are supposed to be the big helpers in google help aren't very nice. I never even got around to asking a question as every response for other's questions were met with "C'mon people. Do some work. We'll help you if you try to help yourself. Read the help answers, read the FAQ's, don't just ask questions." Actually, they weren't even that nice. I don't know about you, but half the time I try to find an answer to a question I click and realize it's not what I'm looking for and trying to even find the same category takes a lifetime. Maybe it's just me. I finally figured out that I had changed to the new "updated editor" and for some reason this blog didn't like it. I'm now back to the old editor and all is good.

So. Since I'm here, and my stress level has just drastically dropped. Merry Christmas. I hope the New Year finds you solving all your problems and brings your stress level down a couple notches too.

  1. Thrilled you're back. Like the new background. I even had that thought, maybe cause I use only the plain templates that your cool templates were causing you issues, though your other blogs were fine. Like you I always read and read and try to understand, sometimes I don't and need help and getting help through blogger/google is very difficult. An area I believe they really need some drastic improvement.

    Glad you got it back, glad your stress level is down.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
    Sandy

  2. Glad to see you posting again, and I really like this template. I just switched over to a self-hosted Wordpress so I don't have to deal with the issues of blogger any more.

    Merry Christmas!

  3. I've had the same trouble when trying to find an answer to something. If you are not asking the very same question as someone before you has, there is little hope of finding an answer. Lately, I have been finding more success by entering my question into Google Search. Not always, however. I have also recently subscribed to "The Real Blogger Status" through Google Reader. The author of this blog appears to know what they are talking about, and they might be a good source of info for you. Of course, since I am about as technically-challenged as anyone I know of, I wouldn't know if they really know what they are talking about or not.
