Taking a page from the fine onionskin paper, leather-bound book of Jazz, I too would like to take a moment to indict the pissy attitude of the Blogger people and to apologize to the proprietors of some favorite blogs for having left no comments of late.
I have left no comment due to the fact that Blogger, which has a propensity to not play nicely in the blogsphere playground, is up to its old tricks.
If you are a subscriber to Blogger and your comment area does not ask for word verification, then we’re laughing and I can come in – as the bishop said to the actress – but if you are looking for WV, we’re hooped.
What happens is I fastidiously and painstakingly type in the letters being sought and I then get a message telling me they are ‘wrong’. I can follow this process 5, 10 or even 2,346 times, and they will persistently tell me they do not work. In a horse’s patoot, as Archie Bunker used to say. They just don’t want me, as a WordPress renegade, to have access to your blog in terms of comment.
Well, I’ll tell Blogger why I switched to WordPress. I switched because a few years ago you screwed me around completely. For reasons best known to you (though never to me) you quite simply froze access to my Blogger blog. A nice blog it was, too. So, confused and angered, I switched over to the WordPress folks and am happy as the proverbial with them.
After stifling my Blogger blog for six full months, suddenly with no reason given, it was again accessible. Well, sorry. I’d moved on. In the words of Carole King: “It’s too late, baby, now it’s too late. Too late for us to make it …”
I hope they drop their word verification BS, in which case I shall return and leave comment.
