Technical Difficulties
Mood:  irritated
Topic: This and That

I am very irritated with Tripod right now. (Tripod is the host for this blog.) In their alerts section, it says they are, "undergoing maintenance and there may be some outages." I seriously hope that explains the crap that's been going on with my blog. First, it posted my previous entry twice. Then my Dad had difficulties posting a comment. Next, I went and deleted the extra copy of my previous entry. Then it mysteriously reappeared later. Tripod has also completely changed their blog building program, so now you can't do nearly as much as you used to, and what you CAN do, you have to write the html yourself. I am all about point-and-click. If I wanted to learn html, I would, oh I don't know, LEARN HTML!!!! Anyhow, to top that off, when I am logged out, my blog still has that pesky double entry and no comment from my Dad. When I am logged in, there's only one copy of the entry and my Dad's comment is there. So I have no idea why this is, or what all of you might be seeing on your computers. Ugh. If this doesn't resolve itself soon, I am going to move my blog elsewhere. What bothers me about Tripod as well, is they make it as difficult as possible to contact them. That's probably to avoid tons of people doing what I would like to do, which is tell them how much they suck. If I do move, it will probably be to Yahoo360. I have a profile there, and two of my friends have blogs there as well. I won't move my blog to MySpace, because they also want their users to write their own code. Forget that.

Please excuse the rant. I am just frustrated. I have no idea if this will post twice or what. If it does, I honestly don't know what I can do about it. Sorry!

I will write more (we had a nice Sunday) when I've calmed down and when I decide where my blog will be. I'll be sure to let everyone know one way or another. Thanks!

ps - Another irritating thing Tripod is NOT doing, is sending me alerts when I get comments on my site. It's supposed to alert me, but hasn't been. So if I miss your comment, I apologize! (Andra, I didn't see the one you left until today! Thank you very much, btw!)
