I Give Up...


The amount of time I've spent in this last week trying to get my blog going again is ridiculous!  I Knew that my problem would go unresolved when I contacted Blogger but I thought it was worth the try...nothing happened.  Then I decided to also contact Google.  Things finally started working.  I still can't "design" the background the way I want it...I've tried to upload my own picture for the background but it Never switches...nothing happens! I've tried all kinds of different templates...nothing.  SO, if this blog design EVER changes in the future, it'll be done by someone who can actually get it Done!  I've had it!  Blogger has finally defeated me!Hahaaa...It's good enough that I can do a post and upload a photo for a post...geeez.
We got up early yesterday and ran a few errands...had breakfast at the local IHOP and came home.  I guess I need to do a bit of laundry today; maybe clean out a few cabinets.  I look around the house and wonder where my maid went...Hahaaa.  There's always something to clean isn't there?!!
Hope you all have a good Sunday...

I'm so sorry you're having so many problems with Blogger. I wish I had a magic wand to wave to make it all better!

Donna said...

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad time with the blog. I'm pretty sure your maid has run off with mine because I haven't seen one around here in ages....lol

Sorry this ding-dang-*new*-thing is giving you so much trouble. :-(

I guess I'd better thank my lucky stars, that it hasn't given me, more trouble than it has. Oh I still don't fully know-my-way-around. But I have been able to do some stuff.

I suppose you don't really like the look here... From what you have said. But it looks nice to me.

No help I know! It's YOUR blog and you want it to thrill YOU. -pout-

COURAGE!

Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"

I completely understand your frustration! That's how I feel every time I try to do anything different on Blogger so I just leave it alone!

When I did a new blog post this afternoon, blogger had switched me over to the new style. maybe I'll eventually get used to it. of course I don't try to change my back ground up...just my header ever now and then.

My maid has quit on me too...something about too much over time at her other jobs!

Donna said...

What the heck is blogger doing to my dear friend! I'm gonna send Marty to their offices to straight them out! Marty can whup up that gopher, LOL! I so see a background, and it looks like you added it. So I don't know what you are or aren't seeing.

{{{{hugs}}}}}

Dawn said...

That is why I have someone else do my templates for me. LOL I just know how to publish and I am sure I go about a different way that anybody else. LOL

I am so not ready for another week.

I hope the week is good for you ! *HUGS*

Possible *brilliant* new thought!

Yes, you have some sort of a Background installed on your blog, whether you can see it or not.

If you want to install a different Background, you have to UN-install the present one.

I got caught in this mess, so that's why I think of it. I kept trying and trying and trying to put up a new Background. FINALLY figured out, that I had to GET rid of, the present one... To get another one to show up.

Btw, on the very bottom of your blog, it says; "Template images by kim258(<---a click-able link) And then it says; Powered by Blogger.

When I clicked on Kim's click-able link, it took me to where you got the free iStockphoto. The one I see, as your background.

The background belongs to Blogger. It's one of the ones you Can upload...I bought an EBook about the new Blogger...maybe that'll help...

Blogger are pretty useless when it comes to support! So many people are moving to Wordpress these days but I do like the Blogger template and feel it's very user-friendly, even if their support is rubbish!!

I wonder why you are having so many problems! Hope that gets resolved soon. My computer CRASHED yesterday! I'm on my hub by's laptop...don't know what I'll do about posting any of the pictures already saved on My Pictures on the crashed machine! That's a bummer!
