Dear New Blogger,
I hate you. My PC hates you. My iPad hates you. You don't work on either. Your design is horrible. I don't like orange. I WANT OLD BLOGGER BACK! (Pretty please...)
Jarmara, I just wish I knew WHY they've done it! It offers nothing but rage and frustration. But at least it'll make me get on with the WIP. Probably...
I agree. They've done it because geeks have to tinker. They like orange. They're masochists. And there is nobody to complain to. Did you ever try to get "help"? It's a f****** nightmare. Bright side? Yes, maybe we'll all just write more and blog less. But I would miss the interaction!
Hi, Yvonne. I did a bit of Googling, and no-one seems to like it. One person did offer a solution, but it didn't work for me. I shall wait for wonderful Rob - who's a computer whizz - to get back to work tomorrow, and try to get the old blogger back. I think it's still possible. I just cannot see that the new system offers anything at all that the old one did not. I wish someone could explain what the advantages are!
I seem to be in a minority. I've been using the new interface since its inception and am very happy with it. It works on my PC on my Apple Macbook Pro, my iPad and mobile blogger works on my iPhone.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
I can be contacted by email: franstott@waitrose.com
takes some of the fun out of blogging, doesn't it? It just decided I can't respond to comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLovely Rob has managed to restore old blogger about 3 times. I shall phone him as soon as the holiday weekend is over!
DeleteI agree. You are a proper author, send them a letter, perhaps they will listen to you!
ReplyDeleteI would, Kay, if I knew where/ whom to write to!
DeleteI agree 100%
ReplyDeleteWe need a campaign, Colette! Perhaps we should all march into cyberspace brandishing placards...
DeleteI agree we've had nothing but problems. Many bloggers have moved over to another Blog site. I've been wondering if I should too.

ReplyDeleteI agree, Frances. It's just not as good. there was nothing wrong with the way it was, so why did they think it should be changed?
ReplyDeleteJoanna, you're right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

ReplyDeleteI wish you could teach me/my computer how to do it, GB. It totally defeats us.
