Defeated by an upgrade...

I'm admitting defeat in my battle with Blogger Pro(strate). I'll continue to post here until I can figure out a non-Blogger alternative, but I've removed the link to my Archive (which didn't work anyway), and turned off the archive feature (which didn't work anyway). I've changed the settings to show the 30 latest posts, and I'll just let the older entries slip the surly bonds of Blogger.

Rarely have I been so frustrated with something so seemingly simple. Rarely have I seen something so seemingly simple (forgive the unintentional alliteration) made so complicated. For some reason, we who were suckered into convinced to upgrade are offered our choice of two Blogger servers, ostensibly so we can use whichever works best for us. There's Pro 1 and Pro 2. Pro 1 lets me publish my posts, but won't let me alter my archive template or republish the archives. Pro 2 will let me alter my archive template, but won't let me republish the archives, and it won't let me publish posts.

I'm probably paranoid to think that this is happening because I'm using a Mac running OS 9.2.2 and Netscape 7; I can't be the only person with that combination...but perhaps others are having the same problem.

Well, anyway...sorry to bore you with these problems. We'll return to our regularly scheduled programming...soon.
