A Peeping Tom is Watching My Cheese Move

I have two serious issues to blog about.

One is
cheese moving,
as in Blogger has moved my cheese so many times,
I'm no longer interested in the maze.



I've moved to WORDPRESS, as in
 MommaMindy.WordPress.com

Please follow the cheese crumbles over,
my followers mean so much to me,
and I'd love to have you continue to be a part of my life.




My second serious issue is that I have
a peeping Tom.

Portions of my life, blogged and unblogged,
are being made public for the whole world to see.


My most recent blog is at Wordpress,
sing the title to the tune of
"Where is My Hairbrush?"
if you can without annoying yourself.

C'mon, click on the words
"recent blog" above to find me.

I didn't go far...

BLOGGGGGRRRRRR

As much as I love blogging,
I have to admit,
Blogger drives me crazy!

I've had several unresolved issues over the years,
and when you go to their "help" site,
it's only other bloggers posting their problems,
and occasionally another blogger with a possible solution.

There is not a Blogger employee to actually solve your problem.
If you're lucky, there will be an answer
in jargon you understand.
Usually, I end up more frustrated,
because a lot of people have the same problem,
and  voice frustration because they think Google doesn't care.

 
I'm not that computer literate,
I don't speak Google or html, 
so spend a lot of my time
*frustrated.*

1. One day I wanted to follow a new blog.
It wouldn't let me because I was already following 300.
OK, didn't know there was a limit,
but I knew there were many blogs I could delete.
(Sorry, if you haven't blogged in a year, I need to drop ya'.)
By simply clicking "manage" as I've done for a few years,




I got this error message.

It seems I'm not the only one.
However, since Blogger doesn't have a help department,
all you get is comments from other frustrated bloggers
who have been getting the same error message.



I tried to manage my account again, a few weeks later,
but got a new error message.
Cool.






2. On top of that,  that there are still many frustrations
with commenting on blogs.

Even when I'm signed in to Blogger,
I'm not able to comment on some blogs,
so I type in my blogspot url and use anonymous.
If I want to comment on a blog and they don't allow
anonymous comments, I'm toast.

3. On top of that, ever since I changed my background,
my Google Analytics stopped working.
I watched their videos, read comments,  watched more videos,
and read articles.
I simply couldn't figger out how to fix it.

4.  I write at night and set my blog to launch at 5am Pacific Time.
Often,  I wake up to find my blog wasn't posted.
If I don't get to my computer until later in the day, my blog is posted
after most people are already actively involved in their day.


BlogGGGGRRRRR!
If any of you brilliant computer geniuses could offer any advice,
I'll take it.

If ya' just wanna' whine about Blogger,
I'll take that, too.
