I am sick of trying to figure out a couple of template or blogging program problems I am having. First, I have not been able to access Blogger for months now. I know that I’ve complained about that before, but it is driving me crazy. I’m thinking at this point that it might be the McAfee virus program I downloaded. I had trouble when I used McAfee years ago and switched to Norton. But then Comcast started offering McAfee as a free download, so I switched back. As far as I can tell there haven’t been any problems with it. But after thinking about it for a while, it seems that was about the time Blogger became inaccessible.
I don’t know, I’ve tried several different things, including disabling McAfee and still I can’t get onto Blogger blogs. (:`(
Maybe I need to uninstall it altogether and see if that’s it.
The other issue is that the navigation do-hicky thing is not working on my blog. I’ve uploaded several different templates and even tried the default template and its not working on any of them. So its not the template. I don’t know when that quit working. Maybe the last time I updated WordPress. I just don’t remember. I noticed it about a week ago with a couple of people complained that they couldn’t get past the first page of my blog to find older posts.
I realize this isn’t life or death - but I have a hard time letting go of something like that. Its like a big puzzle I can’t quite get the pieces put together in the right way. I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time this weekend trying to figure out the navigation problem. That’s also why I have about a gazillion post uploading on the front page.
IRRITATING. >-(
I’ll eventually figure it out, I suppose. If anyone reading this has any pearls of wisdom or real know-how (as opposed to my pseudo know-how) - I’m open for suggestions ……
The problem is that when you spend that much time on the computer getting NOWHERE it takes all the fun out of blogging. I just want to shut the whole thing down and walk away from it. But I can’t leave a problem unsolved. Meanwhile, I’m going to grumble and moan.

I use McAfee at home on all of my machines and have no problem logging on to my blogger blogs.
I do have problems now viewing your blog from home with Internet Explorer version 7, but I have no problems viewing it with FireFox. At work I have no problems with either browser… strange.
Clicking on the Archives link takes me to a page that basically says “do not edit this page”, but no archives appear. That seems odd to me.
I hope I’m not the cause of these problems for you with my request from last week. I hate it when things get broken. I know how frustrating it must be for you.

No Perri, not at all! The blogger problem has been going on for months and the navigation problem has been going on since I downloaded the newest version of WordPress. I thought when I changed templates it would fix it - but it didn’t
