You Think That´s Funny?!

 
Just prepared a blog post cause I have nothing to do at 02:36 p.m. than to wait since 09:00 a.m. for a phone call.
And I need to be home cause I need to take notes.
Makes me angry per sé cause I had asked 4 times via e-mail already for help!

Blogger, oh, such fun since the "update".
I don´t want paragraph, but "normal" - Blogger switches to paragraph all the time. I want Arial, not Courier. Switch, switch, switch.

Try to add a youtube-movie, no HTML, no chance or a looong procedure? (Glad I can to the first).
 
Check. Post is gone. And mind you, I did some research for that one! (See letter Z on Sunday)

I got like real angry on blogger, where is that darn thing???

I finally found it.
By accident got a wrong date for publishing, in the past, last week.
No worries, right, go there and edit the date.

Noooo. "You cannot edit the date from the past".
ARGH!!!!
But you can edit a post where others already commented.
Logic?!
I could after some comments are in add "I love Hitl#r" - and you´d agreed! 

OK, sometimes I get hints and can add them, glad for that, but actually the correct way would be a new post, referring to the old one?

Anyhows, so I did edit, copy, paste, make new, all good.

From frustration and anger I got all... COLD!
You should expect hot, but no.

I really don´t understand how an update can get from bad to worse over months and I read complaints at fellow bloggers often, too.

Yah, it´s for free.

Henry 🦁 ... is NOT amused.

How about you?
 
Again two posts...

I hope you can solve soon the problem.
I always avoid to update the programs because, everytime, I get into the troubles for new problems.
To find the best solutions and the right procedures we need time and when we are satisfied of the achievements they decide to change!!! Very annoying.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, blogger, improving, funny you ;-)

Black Knight, Blogger forced me.
How you came out of that?!
I hate updates that make it all worse cause they don´t test them properly! Yupp, they seem to change often, very annoying.

Nancy Chan said...

I hope you got the problems sorted out. I try to keep things as they are and usually avoid any update as much as possible because it will give me much headache trying to sort things out when I am not so IT savvy.

Bill said...

It stinks that you are having blogger problems. I haven't had any issues since it was updated months ago. Good luck.

Charlotte (MotherOwl) said...

Yes - so not amused with Blogger here too. That normal / pragrapt thing is a p.i.t.a! Adding pictures - one by one because Blogger has no short term memory any more - and hoping that they end up where I want them ot go, is worse.
Thanks to Blogger for a crash course in HTML ;)

Iris Flavia said...

Nancy, I had no chance, here we got the darn update automatically!

Bill, lucky you!!

Charlotte - always see the positive side :-)

RedPat said...

I never know what goes on with it anymore.

Iris Flavia said...

Me, neither! It was good before the forced "update".

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I edit things all the time after they've been published, but I have never had to remove a post because I accidentally back dated it. I think you did the right thing. Now it's time to move on to something new because, as you said, it's free. I know very few people who DIDN'T have problems with the new and improved blogger when it came out.

CJ Kennedy said...

Must be one of those days. I've been fighting with a remote controller for two hours.

gigi-hawaii said...

I use WordPress, which costs money, but I don't have your problems with blogging.

DVArtist said...

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with blogger. They change things all the time and we have to discover them and then work it out. Uhhgggg...Here is a hug for you.

My name is Erika. said...

That is one angry Henry. Maybe you should send blogger and the phone call people this photo. It might catch their attention!

William Kendall said...

Blogger seems to occasionally do things to my formatting that I specifically did not ask for. It's irritating.

peppylady (Dora) said...

The price is right when it comes to blogger...free
Coffee is on and stay safe

Iris Flavia said...

Elizabeth it is irritating. Obviously blogger ... I don´t know!!! Too many complain.

____

CJ, I would not have the patience for that, 2 hours?! I´m sorry, but rewarding when you succeed - Ingo is like that, too.

____

gigi, I´m too frugal for that - I rather complain ;-)

____

Nicole, thank you, it´s weird, a hug back to you, we fight, right!

____

Erika, good idea! "Greetings from the City of Henry The Lion! That´s what he thinks, as many, of your update!"

____

William, it sucks!

____

Dora, yes, free and ... hmhmhm...

My biggest complaint is I prefer Arial over Courier or over anything else really. So I have to highlight all the text and change it. There is a way to set Arial on your computer as your preferred font, but the instructions were very, very long and I didn't understand any of them, so now I just type then switch. Blogger has an occasional annoyance, but nothing worth complaining about for me.

River said...

When I do my posts, particularly my Sunday Selection posts, I type the intro blurb first, then load all my selected photos at once, then write any text between them. I don't have any troubles with that method.

David M. Gascoigne, said...

Blogger can be a challenge that's for sure. i think I have navigated it to the point where I can create and post without too much difficulty, but they modified a system that worked perfectly, to something that certainly has inconsistencies to put it mildly. But, as you say, it's free!

Iris Flavia said...

River YES!! Courier sucks!!! And the code is leally shit#y...

____

David, yes, why change a (good) running system...

Jeanie said...

That's weird. I've never had a problem with editing at any time -- often after I've posted I see something before anyone's commented and can go in. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Amypie71 said...

yes I've noticed little things here and there over the last few months with it too, can you edit your post by reverting it to a draft then re-posting it?

dee Nambiar said...

I haven't been using blogger for a while. But generally, updates are supposed to be for the better. But yeah -- oftentimes it gets less uses friendly. And that can be frustrating.
