I’ll Be Back If/When the WordPress Issues Are Resolved

Oooh . . . dramatic blog title Robin.

The title isn’t exactly true. I am ready to throw WordPress and my computer out the window, but the real reason you haven’t see me around lately is I am in Portland visiting a gaggle of family members. Tomorrow I move on to Boise to spend four days with our youngest daughter. Can’t wait.

I thought I would be able to keep up with you all while on this trip, but HA! Blogging takes low priority when surrounded by family, food, and 90-year-old parents who can’t hear a darn thing.

What a wild ride the last week has been. Between the WordPress “comment-follow”  and other problems, and the world deciding I am nothing but mere Spam, my forced break from blogging is a welcome relief.

I’ll be back next week and catch up with you then. That is, if WordPress has cleaned up its act. Miss you all!

Anyone Else Sick of the WordPress Problems?

Anyone else ready to dump WordPress? I am not a ranter, but really WordPress, really? Really? Here is my rant.

Blogging takes an enormous amount of time (ask your husband/wife/significant other – you know it bugs them) and the evil programmers at WP have added to it by nuking comments, putting comments (even MY comments on MY post) in the spam folder, double emailing when someone comments, and deciding that I must read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT MADE on EVERY SINGLE BLOG I COMMENTED ON FROM NOW INTO PERPETUITY.

Argh. What a waste of a day it has been dealing with WordPress’ shenanigans.

I’m ready to move on to a better platform. Are you fair readers?

Maybe the folks at WordPress will suppress this post before it goes to “print” and you will never see it.

Or, what is more likely to happen, my rant will arrive in your in-box 62 times in the next 3 minutes.

Sorry folks. I will return to my normal mild-mannered ways tomorrow. Ah. I feel much better now. I think.
