Yikes - what is up with Blogger?

I guess you get what you pay for, and since I paid nothing for use of this site, maybe that is why I have been having so many problems lately. My bet is Blogger or Google will soon institute a pay for use whereby you get live help, but that is only a guess.

My problems have been many, and have only been recent, within the past few weeks, ever since they converted everyone with an old Blogger account to a Google account (or so I was told). It seems things on my own blog keep disappearing such as my link lists to other bloggers, my link list to reference material, my firearms related lists. I also have a great amount of difficulty connecting to other sites using those lings, but I think only the other sites that use Blogger. In addition my link to site meter at the bottom of the page has come and gone a few times, and each time I enter in the html code, it shows up again in a different place even though the code has not changed. All very spooky; and if it was only happening on my home PC I would think virus, but it is happening on other PCs from which I access my blog. I have also heard of others having problems connecting, or finding blogs on the site since they allegedly switched everyone to a Google account. Hopefully this is a bug on the Blogger end and they will fix it soon, but heck how do they even become aware that end users are having problems; there is no link for contacts to them on their site as far as I know!

Oh well, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be fixed soon. Lest I forget, I should again point out I get all of this for free, so I guess I cannot complain too much. I suppose it is a case of me taking things for granted, since in essence they were granted to me. Blogger on the whole is a good thing, and they usually keep it running well, I just hope it stays that way.

All the best,

A Few Small Cosmetic Changes...

...here and there to the Ballseye's Boomers page have taken place over the last several hours or so. I switched to the newer version of Blogger, and I will admit I did so with some trepidation, but so far all seems to be okay in the land of virtual reality, or so I hope. If anything seems to be missing, that had been on the older version of my page, please let me know in the comments section to this post.

Some new things that came with the new version of Blogger, that my readers can use, are: a search this blog feature, and an email this post to a friend (or an enemy I suppose) feature.

One thing that changed, which had nothing to do with the switch to the newer version of Blogger is the Never Forget slide show on the right side of my page. I picked that up at another web site: Cap'n Bob & the Damsel, and you can too if you click on the link under the pictures of 9/11, or if you visit their site. It was a freebie as they say, and a decent remembrance of 9/11 at that. My thanks to the kind folks who run said site.

All the best,
Glenn B
