Update on blog

Sorry to change the appearance of this blog - again - but for some reason Blogger didn't want to load the sidebar.  So I made an executive decision and decided to take those sidebar gadgets off completely.  I think I can manage without them.

I've been getting 'announcements' saying Blogger is changing the layout/format to make it easier for mobile users......BUT I think you can still use the old format if you prefer. Look to the very bottom left hand side of the 'design' page. It should say 'revert to legacy Blogger'. At least over here it still does.

Robin.....Thanks for that. Yes, I've been getting those messages too. I'll take a look on my design page. Increasingly Blogger is annoying me, but the only other alternative seems to be Wordpress, and have you ever looked at that!!! 😳😱

Robin is right, Blogger is changing things, and creating a lot of unwanted side effects. I read about it on other blogs. And I noticed that when I publish a post via the new editor thumbnails do not appear in bloglists and recent posts gadget. The only way is to wait until they have solved all those issues. Very annoying....
I used Wordpress for my website, believe me, Wordpress is much more complicated. And.... the same issues with changes. The only way is to wait patiently. :(

Judy....glad I'm not the only one trying to cope with these issues! It is annoying, you're right. I'm the same with Wordpress, although I have an account with them, trying to understand it is difficult. I think it's because there seems to be no logic in their system. Oh well, as you say, we shall wait for blogger to sort itself out 🙂

That's a real shame about your sidebar Ann. I don't like change but to use Blogger we have to live with it. I don't like the new format and hope we can carry on using the old one.

Eileen.....I think there's an option to change it back to the original (not sure the original is any good either)...but heyho here I am using it anyway 🤣
