Yes indeed. My blog was almost wiped out by ignorance. Mine.
Let's see ... it all started when someone said (many blogs posts ago) that they had a spare blog so they could test out certain changes. When they "messed" up, no harm would come to their original blog. I thought "What a GREAT idea!" It became one of my New Years Resolutions and that's what I attempted today. I thought having a new template would be cool! What could go wrong?
It got me. Blogger got me bad.
Somewhere there is a floating profile under the name of MIN. That was me.
Turns out, when you make a "new blog" the profile of the first gets automatically transferred to the second. Any, and I mean ANY changes you make to the second profile affects your first profile. In fact any changes you make supercedes it. because they end up being One and the Same. Of course I DIDN'T KNOW THIS and I changed everything! When I found out, I deleted the "new" blog but it didn't put my original -This Blog - Back to the way it was. Not only that, but the"profile" of the old "new" one remains! I ask again, Why? What in tarnation would they keep a thing like that? I can't re-use it! I tried. When you delete something, shouldn't EVERYTHING be deleted? I liked my old blog. Then I realized that something else was changedl....
MY ICON!!
What's a girl to do? Then, Blogger took my icon and profile bit and put it on the BOTTOM of the page on this blog. Why? I ask Why and How??? And Why again?
I. am. so. frustrated!!!
This better not be an omen as to how the rest of 2006 is going to go.
It's a good thing I'm not superstitious.
It's a good thing I believe in a higher power that loves me.
Why?
Easy. It's a great feeling to know that the buck doesn't stop here. I have upper management I can bring my complaints to.
Yes, yes..I know..this is peanuts and shillings compared to other problems. But, when you try something that you think is good and it gets screwed up, How can you not react???
All I feel like doing right now is what my Dad called the "German Stomp"when we were kids. It was his way of describing our anger dance..You Know ... the one where you jump up and down, pulling your hair, screeching like a banshee and spouting gutteral gibberish while at the same time trying to kick a wall (which hurts) or punch your pillow (which is lame) ???
Kinda lookin' like this handsome young man.
Well, he IS handsome when he's not in a snit,
like me.
Here's hoping that in this new year of 2006, that any experiment or something new you attempt will be met with a resounding success!!
And then you can pass some of that good luck onto me.YYYYYYYY

Sorry to read about your technical complications, but thanks for leaving a message on my blog. Happy New Year!
I think your blog looks good. I was going to get my Dh to help change mine a little, but between work and school he's been a little busy. I like your new icon. It reminds me of a fairy ornament I put on my tree every year.

TTFN!
You Are So lucky to have your DH, Brandy. I'm a "learn as you go" gal. Not much of a choice anyway. But thanks for saying you like my blog. I was able to save most except my icon and my profile stuff. So..I rewrite it..no big deal. Just more time in the computer chair...heh! Like I'm not there anyway??? *grin*
Have a great day!
Gregg, you troublemaker, you! *grin*
So glad my comments work.
Thanks for the New Year's wishes and I look forward to a full year of blogging with you!
Toodles.
Welcome Christine n Leon!
I agree, high adrenaline is not the best way to start the new year, but I can safely say, I'm not Bored! LOL.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year to you too!!!!
LOL, Jill! You crack me up
Thank you for joining in on my little "stomp", *grin*
With support like yours, I think I'll be just fine!
Happy New Year to you too!
Thanks, A !
I tried a different name, hence MIN. Somehow, blogger, once it got to the last part, knew it was the same person anyway. I thought it was working great until I tried to leave a message somewhere and it logged in as Min and not Michele. I have no clue what, if anything, I did wrong.
Then I checked the profile and it was my regular blogs..that's when I realized that my whole profile was changed totally! I don't even remember half the things I had on it. But hey, New Year, New Things...it's all on how you look at it. You and everyone who posted kinda helped me see the bright side of it.
Thanks!!
And Yep, I'm interested, I'll email you soon!
See, I'm so techno challenged that I have someone to do it for me. LOL Hope you get all the "kinks" worked out, but it all looks good to me!
You have someone do it for you, Robin? Now why didn't I think of doing that?... Oh...yeah, I don't know anyone. They come to me. Talk about the blind leading the blind. There's one good thing I DO know....how to ask for help!!!
Thanks for dropping by Robin! Always a pleasure to read your comments!
See ya!
I like the new icon. And I'm so glad that you didn't wipe your blog. I know how this feels!
Thanks Kelli!!
The icon is growing on me.
Don't tell me you actually wiped out a blog...horror of horrors!!
I hope that never happends to both of us ever again.
That could be a New Years resolution..what do you think?
Michele...just in case you're interested, you can contact Heather at
www.outthereauthorservices.com
and she does BRILLIANT blogs, custom designed mind you, and is VERY affordable!
I like the new icon too, glad you didn't lose everything. I saw someone that had! Somehow their whole account diappeared and they were starting from scratch.
