Can you see this blog's sidebar?
The Wonderful New Blogger is broken. For some reason that has to do with my migration to the Wonderful New Blogger, it takes hours, many many hours, to republish my blog when I do a new story, an edit or a tweak. And, for some reason, the sidebar is usually missing! Plus the WNB only publishes the first few stories, and only a fragment of the last one. I've been trying to get the attention of Blogger support, and they sent me a form letter about beginner problems and issues that are years old. My friends who work at Blogger promise me they're working on it flat out. But so far, no joy.
Quite the opposite of joy. With each passing day that my blog feels out of control, I get a bit crazier, alienated from what I've begun to think of as me. It is as if I can't comb my hair without predictable results. Or like when I speak, I can't predict my intonation or the timbre of my voice. Or when I reach for something, my muscles don't guide my bones where I want them to go.
I'm trying to tell myself It is just a blog, it is just a blog, it is just . . . .
