The only thing of significance this week is the hard work I
have been doing in order to change my blog program. Though I have generally enjoyed the bloging experience over
the past three years or so, much of my time during the past year has been spent
“cursing” Blogspot because it has been almost impossible to download
photos. As you know a large part
of my blog is devoted to images, so you can imagine that, in the middle of my
weekly organization of the blog presentation, when the Blogger will not allow
me to download the photos, I can “lose it” and say some things that Norma
doesn’t want to hear. Not only
that, she worries about my blood pressure. The weekly tantrum is normally triggered during the three to
four hours (sometimes five to six on bad days) of blog work.
The problem with Blogger is something that has been going on
for over a year. When we inquire
about a “fix”, they say they know about the problem and it will be repaired
soon. Well after a year with no
“fix” I have decided to move to WordPress.
I have experimented with WordPress and find that, even
though it isn’t perfect for me, it is a wonderful program and has many more
possibilities than Blogger. Its
imperfections for me are basically my own ignorance. The problems I have with it can be corrected with some
additional education. As an old
man with little intuitive computer sense, it may take some time to understand
how to make the proper adjustments.
In the mean time I will be satisfied with its little quirks. You should just be tolerant and know
that some of the alignment adjustments will in time be corrected.
The work I have been doing this past week is transferring
the sixteen blogspot blogs for “Our Philippines Mission” to WordPress. It has been a lot of work, but I plan
to be finished this coming week. I
will send out the new address before June’s first blog. The complete Philippines mission blogs
will be at the new address.
Without promising anything, this blog should be the last Blogger blog
for me.
Cross your fingers for me, and hope that you will receive
the new address sometime this week.
That’s all for now,
We love you all,
Mom and Dad
I hope the new one is easier.
