Morning! I Know you thought I'd abandoned you...not so. I have been really bummed out about losing all my photos....and have been trying to decide what to do about it. On this web site, Blogger, I still have all my writings... on my Wordpress site, I have all my photos and writings except for this last year. Decisions!!! Should I just keep going with Blogger or should I switch to Wordpress. I don't think Wordpress will let me import again and besides, if I tried, it would also import my post with no photos AND, the fact that I'm STILL trying to figure out how to change the font color in my header on the WP site...and yes, I've managed to change it, save it...but when I go back to look at my changes...they haven't changed!Grrrr.......SO....Geeeez! I've made easier decisions! Ok...and you knew it was coming...What Would You Do?Hahahaaa.......
UPDATE!!!!!! FIGURED IT OUT!!!
YES-I-DID!!! PICASA is Evil! I made my rounds to PhotoBucket, etc....nothing there. What had happened was somehow, all my albums that are stored on Picasa.com were changed from Public to Private! Only thing I can think of is when Google did Something last week, update(????), if affected my blog, but all my photos were still there! Yeah! SO, I simply went to each album, went to sharing options and changed them from private to public....GADS!!! PLUS....I reverted back to Blogger from Google Plus! I hated it! That's probably when things went "south" for me! A WEEK of gnashing teeth!!! Biting knuckles!!! Holy Photos Batman!!!! You think I'm kidding.....What a Freakin' WEEK!
Lordy, I did NOT want to move to WordPress....If I can't figure out how to save simple changes to the blog, what chance would I have posting??Hahaaa
Lordy, I'm a wreck! SO....Now I can relax and come visiting all of You! SORRY I couldn't figure this out sooner.....COFFEETIME!!!!

glad you got it all figured out. stuff like that makes me crazy
I am dragging today with the time change, I lost an hour of sleep.
Sounds like tequila time instead of coffee! LOL, just saying! So you did the Google+ switch? Yep, that's where you went wrong. The settings got messed up in the transition. I keep looking at Google+ because different pro photographers have been using it. But I just can't see the need for it, in addition to my blog!
Whew! Your photos are still stored, settings reset, and all is right with the Made in Heaven World. I figured you had something going on with Picasa. Welcome back, girlfriend! I am relieved that my good blogging buddy is back.
So, so glad you got it all straightened out! I know it was absolutely frustrating to say the least.
I only had one minor problem with mine in the past couple of weeks, but it straightened itself out without me having to decide what to do. I'm on google + and have nothing bad to say about it. But then, I don't post as much lately; kind of getting frustrated; have lost so many people that used to leave comments while now they just come, look and it shows up in my stats. Oh well. You're back, and that's what is important.

Oh, yikes! I'm sorry to hear that you had all those problems--it's my worst nightmare. I'm constantly backing up my blog--so afraid of losing it all.
Glad you got your photos back! Yay! Moving a blog is a PITA! And shut up about Spring forward time. I hate it. LOL
Glad you got your pics back! I probably would have given up!
Oh mercy. Well, I hate anything and everything Google (nosy, nosy, nosy), and I am not fond of WordPress either. They make everything so difficult. So I'm glad it's resolved and were I you, I would definitely stick to Blogger. I may be developing a Blogger site of my own soon, for Angel Funeral Photography. We shall see. xoxo
I've abandoned blogging for some time now, but stick my head in occasionally...
If I can't publish pictures on the blog I get a bit panicky! I'm pretty hopeless with anything technical as you know!

Happy to hear you figured it out! Don't you hate when things like this happen. I'm almost afraid to change anything!
I know what you mean Donna...I have been unable to upload photos to my post for some (Google)strange reason...had to import my grandparents photos as a gadget and that is sure to bring me a visit from the beyond...hope all your photos are secure...and welcome to DST!!!
hugs
Sandi
I am so glad you didn't lose your photos after all, Donna! Whew!
Donna,
Blogging issues can be soooo frustrating. I am glad that you figured it out. I am scared to make any changes to my blog because of what happened to you.
