Apparently the company computer system underwent yet another upgrade over the past day and now, although I can access blogger, I can’t actually access my blog, which is needed to respond to comments!!!!!!! Grrr….although the situation is better than LAST time they started blocking stuff, as I couldn’t even get to blogger! Endurance Granny – […] more
