I am averse to change, and this "new blogger look" is having an adverse affect on my comfort level.
I don't really see any improvement and don't quite understand the need to create this kind of user-discomfort. What for? To seem "new", "trendy" - not to get stale?
As everyone can see, I haven't been writing too much lately and the reason is twofold - one is that I really am hard-pressed at work, but perhaps the greater reason is self-editing. I know that none of my children want me to write about them (anything good, bad, or indifferent) where people they know can read it. That seems a reasonable desire, and to continue to do it seems disrespectful. If I hadn't made the error years ago of letting people I know IRL have this address it would be fine, but I did - but it didn't turn out that I wanted to write the newsy, cheerful little blog I envisioned then. And just considering the Golden Rule - I wouldn't want the kids keeping a blog that mentioned ME (to say the least!)
So, what with the kick in the shins from blogger, I thought "I will start a WordPress blog! What the heck!" Then, just now, I attempted to post a respose on mamaporuski's blog and (as is typical at least 50% of the time) I wasn't allowed to do so because I wasn't "logged in" or my information wasn't acceptable to them in some way. There must be some disconnect between how I log in here (at home) versus how I log in at work, or something, because WordPress and I just don't seem to get along anymore. And I don't want my readers to have that issue. I love every comment.
So, I guess I'll stick with blogger, but I have to somehow figure ot how to go anonymous...Then I'll give all you non-local friends the new address.
Now, for some reason I can't even get blogger to allow me to put in a picture today. Maybe it is a sign I should drop blogging altogether.

Highly Frustrated
