FYI

I switched to the much hailed new blogger Sunday, so you will see my blog get more and more screwed up as I try to make changes. As you can see, I have already lost all my links. And, as luck would have it, this is moving week (starting Tuesday), so I won't have much time to work on it. Stay tuned for the possible crash, burn and ultimate demise of my blog. sheesh.

It is frightening to have to change but I have managed it.....at least part way. I lost my stat counter and I can't figure out how to get that back, but I don't miss the google ads. They did me no good anyway.

I lost my links, too, but I found out how to restore them, and the new blogger actually put them in alphabetical order for me.

Let me see if I can explain it to you. Under new blogger, the word "customise your blog" may be seen on the top toolbar, along with "Flag this blog", "next blog" etc. Click on "customize" and it will open a window that will allow you to put your links back in, although you have to type them in seperately. It doesn't work to just copy and paste your entire blogroll. You have to type them in to the appropriate space one at a time. All you have to do is type the url address into the space provided and type what you want to name your link into the space below that. then you hit "add link". Don't make the mistake I did and assume it didn't get added to your blog because even if you don't see it there at first it is there.

I put your blog in my new blogroll first, but I didn't see any immediate evidence that it was there so I added it again. Then I had two "Important stuff...or not"'s on my blogroll. I figured out how to fix that, too.

Now, your blog appears on my blogroll under the name, "Lone Ranger" in alphabetical order, between "Little Miss Chatterbox" and Lores Rizkalla".

Please don't even talk about not blogging. I would go into severe withdrawals if I wasn't able to read your musings everyday!

My mistake was in not upgrading my template before I tried to change it. I'll have to go searching for all my links before I can repost them. But, that will have to wait till I'm in my new digs.

I see no reason to change over until they force me to.
