Layouts

I'll be tweaking my site layout some today with the new Blogger Beta, so things might look a bit odd from time to time.

Edit: I'm having trouble getting HaloScan commenting up with Blogger Beta, so I'll have to go back to Blogger commenting. However, anyone with a Blogger account who isn't yet using Beta can't use their Blogger account to comment, so you'll just have to type in your name and site yourself. When I first started having trouble with the comments recently, it was right after I switched to Blogger Beta. Blogger Beta has some good things about it, but I am getting tired of all the problems with comments. Anyway, thankfully my mom had the comments from my last entry open on her computer when I lost them all on mine, so I copied them and emailed them to myself and I'll go manually put them back in. Considering I wrote up a very long comment in reply to the long comments already there, I'm really glad I didn't lose them all!

Repairs...

I just got part of my site fixed! So now the rest is in the hands of the tech support...I don't know how long that will take though, or even if they will be able to fix things. But at least I've gotten some work done on my blog, and I posted there referring people here and explaining a bit of the problem. I'm about to go fix Mama's now and do the same for hers.

Edit: I fixed it!!!! I'm so excited now! I fixed all the problems! Well, I found the solution and repaired one of the pages, anyway. I still have a few more to do, but I know how to do it now and it shouldn't take long.

I'm not sure what to do about blogs now. I was actually wanting to take a break from working on any website stuff for a few days. I decided Tuesday night to take a few days away from it, then I woke up to all these problems yesterday. I'm going to be completely rebuilding Daddy's site, and part of me wants to stick with the simplicity of this now. So I don't know yet what I'm doing with all my blogs.

Blogs

Things aren't looking too good for my old blog right now. Because of some of the problems the server is having, I can't use the blogging software. The main page of my blog is run through the software. I had thought about putting up a notice on my main page that the blog part wasn't working, and linking over to here. But the only way I can find to do that right now is to delete all the blog files, which would mean I'd lose my archives, etc. I'm going to try to find a way to back those up, which would be something good to do anyway, but if I can't do that, I'm not sure what to do. I talked to tech service about the subdomain problem, and they are supposed to call me back within 24-48 hours. I didn't talk to them about the blogging problem, as at that point, I hadn't yet figured out what was causing it. I know now, but I don't know what can be done to fix it. This is just one big muddled mess!

I thought of something good today. At least I hadn't made all those big updates on my site before this happened! I would have put in a lot of time on something that would have gotten all mixed up. Maybe I can keep up that Pollyanna-mentality and not stress out over all this anymore...
