L is for Lessons...

...as in have I learned my lesson yet that Blogger just does not like me!??????

I spent forever working on my post for the letter "L" yesterday, and it was going to be about Life, Love, and Laughter. Laverne was also in there. There were pictures and videos and links to great stories. Instead, when it came time to post Blogger kicked me out. Logged back in, only to find that 1/4 of what I'd drafted was saved (barely) and it would take too long to get it all in the order that I originally had it.

I. AM. FRUSTRATED. WITH. BLOGGER. Arrrrgh!

I realize that I use a lot more photos and videos than most people do on Blogger, but come on! So, for the past week or so I've been researchign Wordpress and some other sites for a new blog. I haven't found anything that is going to make it worth it to switch all the way over. I'm thinking it may be time to just set up my own site, but that's something I'm just sleeping on right now.

Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with Blogger? Or am I the only idiot?

Anyway, please check out other awesome bloggers at http://unglazed.blogspot.com/ to see what fun, fantastic things they've done with "L" for Z to A Mondays. Hopefully "K" won't drive me to drink!

I loathe posting in blogger...this is why I started using live writer about 6 months ago. I post about this a while ago, you must have been busy working.
Seriously, download windows LIVE WRITER and you will LOVE it..so easy to post pictures and video...never any spacing problems so easy to edit. FREE too!

LOVE, Life, laughter and Laverne...I bet it was GOOD!!!

We just moved the store over to WordPress because we wanted more options than Blogger allowed. So far, so good but we've only been using it for 3 weeks or so, and we're still feeling our way through.

After reading Busy Bee Suz, I'm going over to her site to read about live writer because I'm not loving Blogger right now!

It's not just you; I have has problems with blogger, too, but when I tried Wordpress, I became even more frustrated (it's counter-intuitive, to my little brain). So I tried Livewriter, and (when I remember to use it) it's pretty good.
Maybe it will all come back to you eventually, so you can weave it in here somewhere, and we'll get to read it!

Girl, I'm TOTALLY with you on this!! Suz had told me about the Live Writer thing a while ago, but I only just looked into it last week. I haven't used it yet to do a post, I'm still playing with it, trying to get the hang of things. It's worth looking into, though.

Blogger can drive me nuts sometimes - well, lots of times. Yes, Live Writer is wonderful! Try it, you'll like it!

Sorry you're at Loggerheads with bLogger. I am ignorant of the advantages of any other blog host; this is the only one I know - It has worked ok so far.
