Frustrated at My Computer!!
The past few days I have been just plain frustrated with my computer! It seems like every time I try to do something, it either takes forever or lose the file I am working on.
I have been having trouble logging onto Blogger, creating posts and uploading photos. So I switched to Picasa to upload my photos (which by the way is so much easier than uploading the pics in the Blogger viewpane) and type up my posts. Well, now Picasa is wanting to act up! I had just finished I really long post with photos and hit the Publish key. What do you know, I close out the window when it is complete and click over to my blog to see the published post.
To my utter dismay, the it was not there!! And of course I had already closed out the window. The really sad thing is that I had copied the info and pasted it into a blank email to use the spell checker. That's another thing - the spell checker in Picasa is not working either. Anyway after pasting the info, I revised my changes and corrected my Picasa copy. I hit the Publish button. While I was waiting for it to publish, I switched over to another document and copied a different item. I also deleted the email without saving it.
So when I looked at my blog and noticed my post wasn't there, I was extremely upset with myself. Not only did I copy it onto a blank email, but at one time I also had it on my clipboard where I could paste it again! I usually am very good at saving or keeping a window open until I finish a task to be sure it is the way I want it completed. But I just didn't this time!
Oh, well!! I think I am going to start typing my posts in Notepad, copy the typed message to Picasa, insert the photos and then publish. But I will either save the Notepad file or won't close it out until I am POSITIVE my post has been successfully published!
Has anyone had better success with other blogs besides Blogger? It seems to be the best out there, but maybe there's a better option??
Try again tomorrow...that's all for tonight!! :)
