I also don't like being the guinea pig unwillingly. I feel like I was forced a bit to sign onto gmail and that also annoys me.<BR/><BR/>There are things I haven't been able to figure out in terms of things on my side bar (like how to justify my buttons and such that I find annoying) and I guess I think if it's written in a language I can learn (or TGF can be order about to fix it) I would like it more. I certainly know about blogger eating things. That thing has quite the appetite!Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287211332036241240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166233628605416342006-12-15T20:47:00.000-05:002006-12-15T20:47:00.000-05:00strange, aside from the occasional problem with ge...strange, aside from the occasional problem with getting my blog title to fit "just right", i have almost never had a problem with blogger. it ate some entries awhile ago, but i've learned to compose elsewhere or cut and paste before i hit the publish/eat-my-post button.<BR/><BR/>i liked wordpress for the categories, but couldn't figure out how to put in my own text or change any sidebar stuff. i like LJ that it lets you control who can or cannot see you blog but it's too cutesy for my liking, so i'll continue to wish that blogger would incorporate things like categories and privacy control.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217802272934413156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166217409060325002006-12-15T16:16:00.000-05:002006-12-15T16:16:00.000-05:00Good grief...

I hate that!<BR/><BR/>I opened my blogger account like a year ago and then in October I started fresh with beta. It was actually pretty seemless for me. I had a gmail account to use and everything. But the last week has been some crazy comment action. It's been a real pain. Sometimes it recognizes me and then sometimes it doesn't... but it will recognize me if I enter my old username and password... grrrr it is so frustrating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166217017369433502006-12-15T16:10:00.000-05:002006-12-15T16:10:00.000-05:00Ah my dear sweetisu unfortunately I have tried it ...Ah my dear sweetisu unfortunately I have tried it all. Even just now on with another blog I tried anonymously and it wouldn't take that! I have tried other. I have tried to log in with my blogger id and it rejects it randomly, though I am starting to suspect it only rejects when I'm on a beta version, but allowed me to post using my google login but that shows me as a nonentity on blogger. <BR/><BR/>For your time and attention, you are eligible for a sample of the premier chocolate of the SF area - Scharffen berger.Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287211332036241240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18249261.post-1166215600988789932006-12-15T15:46:00.000-05:002006-12-15T15:46:00.000-05:00Oh yes.

Will that work? I know some blogs don't allow non-Bloggers/anonymous to comment but it might work.<BR/><BR/>Although I must say, gmail ROCKS above all other email clients/hosts I've ever used. :-) I hope you will like it too!<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm paying $10 a yr only to host my own domain, from wordpress. I don't know other details as Hubby set it up for me, but it shouldn't cost a lot these days for a domain/hosting.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if I can be of further help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
