Last Blogger Standing

by EllieGant ^Pro @ 20.04.2008 – 23:02:55

It's getting so that I am afraid to log into blogland. No-one wants to feel odd-woman out, yet here I am unable to join in the widespread moaning about blogland problems. Possibly because I am so technologically hopeless that what everyone else regards as problematic, I regard as a miracle merely because a light has appeared on the computer and it hasn't exploded.

Then there is the problem that I am losing friends quicker than I can consume Hotel Chocolat kirsch soaked cherries enrobed in milk and dark chocolate. So many people have abandoned their blogs, announced their departure or preference for alternative blog sites or are simply too busy to blog that I felt a momentary spasm of hope that I might win the "Last Man (Or Woman) Standing Bloscar" next year.

I don't know if I will have the willpower to continue blogging if I don't have anyone to talk to.

Hello? Helllooo? HELLLOOOOO?

Hello! I'm having quite a few problems posting (and indeed even viewing posts) at the moment, so please bear with me. If I don't comment, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that some pages will not load!

  Gulp - I've been reading just how bad it is for some people. Maybe I am lucky that I am on a different server or something, but the only problem I've had is that I get a message saying you can only comment every 10 seconds. But it usually posts the second attempt so it's not been a real problem.
  Hope it gets better for you soon - it must be so frustrating.

Those chocolates sound so wonderful....wanna share??

I too am having BIG problems and just hope that this posts and stays where it's meant to!

  Sorry, Hotel Chocolat chocs never stay around long enough to share. Even my husband missed out on my latest stash *laughs cunningly with no trace of shame or guilt*
  
  Sorry you are having problems - mind you, having said I had no problems, something went wrong writing the above post and it appeared, without my knowing, before I'd spell-checked it - so real-linda must have seen a very peculiar version before I edited it!

You're not alone.

I'm sure I've had a lot of replies I should have replied to and replies from repies that I've replied to, and replies to the repiles that I replied to that need to be replied to and I'm now starting to confuse myself.

  I'm not surprized - that sounds really complicated! I'm starting to feel very lucky indeed!

I'm here but can't hear!!! I'm not getting notified of replies to comments or postings so it's like talking to myself just now.

I'll be back when it's sorted!

  Oh, I've just seen your post regarding a break - how frustrating it must be. Hope it's sorted soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy a break from the PC

    Thank you - it seems that hotmail have been stopping messages from BCUK so I've switched to my googlemail (which I don't like very much)sh!

      I use Yahoo and that has been fine.

  Have you looked in your junk folder? That's where all my notification emails are going at the moment.

    They simply never arrived but I'm now using my googlemail address.

Hello! I'm still here reading your entries and commenting. I've not had any noticeable problems either!
As you've seen blog friends do tend to come and go, which is often a shame.
Have a good week! xx
- - EllieGant ^Pro
  - 21.04.2008 @ 11:59:08
  Yes, I'm glad you are still around, because you are one of my very best friends!
  
  I know friends do come and go - obviously people's circumstances change. But it's a bit sad to log on and find 3 people in the space of a week are giving up on technical problem grounds.
  
  Fingers crossed the 'problem virus' doesn't spread our way!

    - 21.04.2008 @ 19:31:14
    That's kind of you to say so, and very nice of you!
    Unfortunately they all seem to have such problems at one time or another. It must be more galling for those who pay to blog.
    My fingers are crossed!
    
    By the way I've added you to my Lawn Loungers favourites list over on Flighty's Plot. xx

      Thank you - that is very kind of you! My fingers are crossed too - as you know, I shouldn't have bragged about having no problems, because I got in a right muddle trying to comment on your post - the system froze on me!

        Wordpress made some major changes a couple of weeks ago since when it's been noticeably slower! Sound a familiar story? xx

No problems here either, and I have no intention of leaving. But I take the weekend off from the computer to save my sanity!

  It's strange, isn't it, how some people are affected and not others. Maybe you notice it more if you try and post several things a day and have to spend a lot of time trying to reply.
  
  I'm the opposite with computer time - I try to stay off it during week days, to avoid interfering with work. Today, I am failing dismally - but my excuse is that I am trying to make bread and have to keep getting up and down like a yo-yo, which means real work isn't worth starting.
  
  Ahem.

No technical problems, that I know of ... just been busy and away and ...

But when I'm still here, I'm here.
- - EllieGant ^Pro
  - 21.04.2008 @ 19:10:46
  Hurray - it's odd how some have been badly affected and others haven't. But it's very sad that some have been driven away from their blogs in despair at the problems.
  
  I didn't blog all last week, due to masses of busy things, so although the signs have been there for some time, it was a bit of a shock coming back to such widespread misery and yet more friends deciding to cease blogging!

    It seems we're going to be just the dedicated few bloggers before long!!

      It looks that way - although I can never understand why, when so many new users join every day!

  Too late, I'm afraid! Hotel Chocolat goodies only last nanoseconds in this house - but there's some digestive biscuits left, if that's any help!

I am still here occasionally! And still enjoying your blog!

I am not really sure if I have achieved much with the time I have saved by not blogging, though!

  - 25.04.2008 @ 14:02:53
  I'm glad to hear it - I've not seen you around much lately. I suspect that if I stopped blogging, I would just go back to my ancient Playstation (the ORIGINAL version) and try to crack Toystory, where I am annoyingly stuck on a certain level.
  
  It's for children, for gawd's sake!
