That's the cool thing about your blog posts -- I learn a lot from them. And they make me think. That's exactly what I'm aiming for! :thumbsup:

We all learn stuff from each other here. Lots of cross-pollination of ideas. :D

^Yes indeed!

RJ's latest blog post about the heroism of Myrna Loy is up and running. It's great to cast a spotlight on people whose life contributions well-deserve some attention.

Ok, I am FED UP of my current blog host. :wallbash: :thumbsdown:
For the 3-4th time, I am unable to load my blog to sanfranciscomusicnews.com.
I tried a few times yesterday - and again today - have emailed support twice sans result...
I am getting reader stats of 100+ PD, but if I cannot load my posts...
think9ing SERIOUSLYT of changing sfmn.com into a Blogger blog...

any opinions>?
i gt good stats/coverage at orble.com - and average adsense returns - BUT i can't f'in post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :no:
Blogger gives me the opp to post when i want - and no hassles posting - and no st ammount of posts PW.....but i havebuilt up a r4adership at sfmn.com / orble....

I move in silence with each step taken, snow falling round me like angels in flight.
Far in the distance is my wish under moonlight.

On my way home, I remember only good days.

It sounds like you've already given them a chance. They never even responded to you when the responses to Bird Story were disappearing.

^It's a great post, too. I enjoy reading what's on your mind and what you're up to!

And thanks, RJ and Lupine, for commenting on my 'Sensitivity to Changing Fortunes' blog post. I'm so fascinated by that rich mixture of emotions we can feel when others succeed or fail. When are we happy at others' successes? And when do those successes depress us? It's all so complicated.

^^ If it's just the one blog, then the problem is with that blog. But that's a really bad upload speed. It should be at least two, and more like four. You might need a new modem.

It's also about the trying. An underdog who fails could be considered a great hero just for going up against impossible odds.

Here they replace them for free if they wear out-- not sure what your system is like, though.
