blogger


Blogger -- don't know whether to love it or hate it.  The other evening, I hated it!  I couldn't post a photo, at all.  I researched the problem, I fiddled with settings, I fretted and stewed and googled solutions.  Nothing would work!  I gave up and went to bed. 


so tonight, I come back in to try one more thing.  I try to upload pics direct from my hard drive instead of from my travel drive.  Three photos.  Uploaded them up lickety split.  Just like that.  So now.  Have I or Blogger fixed the uploading problem?  Or is the problem uploading directly related to the travel drive?  

Guess I'll get this figured out when pigs fly.
