HIDEOUSLY IRRITATED with Blogger. I have been trying desperately to change some items in my layout template but can't because of a glitch in which that page has no scrollbar and thus you can't see your whole layout template. I checked the Blogger Help Group and there are many other people irritated about this as well. They are suggesting workarounds etc. but none really work for me and the Blogger Known Issues Page says that this problem is fixed. I emailed Blogger Support as well, indicating that, nuh-uh this problem is NOT fixed, and after a week they haven't even gotten back to me with a form letter saying 'we received your email'. I have another problem with the blog too that is basically the same thing - known issue, said to be fixed, not fixed at all.
I'm really frustrated with this and I want to bring my blog somewhere else, but then I would lose all of the old content (or at least have to refer people back to this blog), I assume, and I don't want to do that. It pisses me off that Blogger, which is part of Google for heaven't sake, can't get their act together enough to fix a problem that is affecting so many. You'd think the IT department of GOOGLE might be a WEE BIT MORE COMPETENT, wouldn't you? (Side note, Google is such a massive empire that I kind of got a shiver writing that, like now they'll be watching me or something.)
Anyway, so if you see problems here on the blog - TOTALLY AWARE - just can't do anything about it. (This also makes me a bit slow in posting new content because I hate posting to a page that has problems.) I wish I had the knowledge to start my very own site, but my HTML knowledge, although better than it used to be, is nowhere near good enough for that. I want this blog to look gorgeous and perfect (you know, to make up for the content quality) and instead it looks boring and buggy. Poop.

Wait...we don't even get a three column blog over here either...I would love to have one of those beauties!! You CAN move your blog over to Wordpress, it will transfer all of your past posts as well. I know a lot of people really like Wordpress as well. Rich's blog is over there and he loves it...Just a thought!
Actually, that's quite a good thought. I'm not familiar with Wordpress other than having heard the name so I will do some research and see if that would be a good fit for me.
You always help me with my problems, chickenbells ;)
