. . . . . . anyone else getting fed up with Blogger?
Hands up!
What, if any, are your current problems?
If you have some please share. Perhaps we can help each other.
If this is all to do with 'changes' Google is making to Blogger shouldn't we be allowed to know just what's going on? Will they eventually get us back on track with a smooth running blogging platform like we all had in the beginning?
FYI - I'm using Google Chrome mostly now rather than Safari but have problems with both. My Internet provider is Google Fiber, I have never used Google+ but like many have had problems leaving comments on blogs using Google+. This is of course in the process of changing according to Blogger - hopefully it will help with our problems.
These are my current problems and I'll be appreciative if you tell me you have any of the same issues.
- While composing a new post a highlighted pink bar pops up and states - An error occurred while trying to save or publish your post. Please try again. Dismiss. Then you spend an age clicking back and forth trying to Save your post or Preview it prior to completing it and eventually publishing or closing it to work on later. It becomes endless.
- Very slow now trying to Publish comments on other blogs. Many blogs I cannot even leave a comment if they have Google+ - especially if using Safari. Now, even using Chrome it's often ages before the comment will publish, and often you can't even see publishing actually happening as you could previously. Then you have to reopen the blog where you left the comment to see if it published. . . . . . and over the past several days the same comment publishes twice even though I don't hit Publish more than once!!!!!
I am noticing so many bloggers are disappearing, or posting less often.
Are we on the way out because of all the problems popping up and making
our time in the blogosphere so frustrating.
My blog is my only portal into social media. If I can no longer put up with
so much aggravation while trying to post, I'm afraid I will no longer have
this 'journal' and a way to keep a little creativity in my life.
With a poof into thin air and a goodbye wave,
I, and A Breath of Fresh Air, could become just a memory!!!

Perhaps thanks are due to Google and Blogger as since writing this post everything seems to be working well again - and fingers crossed it will stay that way! A big "thank you".
