on this the 63rd day on the countdown till spring. My post never showed up on the blogger list for yesterday. That happens frequently with blogger. Sometimes I think a lot about leaving them and concentrating on Wordpress but they are not so great either. I do miss the early blogging days on Windows Live Spaces. If you want to follow my blog your best bet is Bloglovin’ which you will find in the left hand column of my blog. Just check the box in the left hand column.

Windows Live Spaces was Microsoft's blogging and social networking platform. The site was originally released in early 2004 as MSN Spaces to compete with other social networking sites, and re-launched in 2006 as a part of a shifting of community services away from the MSN brand. Windows Live Spaces received an estimated 27 million (27,000,000) unique visitors per month as of August 2007.[1] Despite being considered a useful messaging and communication tool, Windows Live Spaces has been criticized as not being as powerful as some of its alternatives.[2] It was shut down in 2011.

I have errands to run this morning and a trip to Kroger. I will catch up with you all later.
Stay safe and be happy!!

I have noticed the same about blogger. I update mine and most times no one knows. I joined bloglovin,sure does help keep me up to date. I miss the old days at Spaces a lot. Blogging was fun back then. Hope your day goes well. Prayers always for you. XoXo
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that Wikipedia entry Twin. I never thought to do that. But back in the day when we first started, I think no blogging spot has been nor ever will be as good as that one was. Trolls showed up though. They are everywhere. Remember that one that was horrible to we ladies and she was supposed to be a Psychologist?? And while the Live Spaces group graciously allowed comments to the maintenance team, many if not most were profane complaints instead of the gratitude they should have had for the privilege of blogging there and having live Staff with whom to communicate. Instead they were filthy mouthed ungrateful persons. So they took away the live questions and answers. Then the blogging opportunity too. Who could blame them. Yupper, I miss the WLS too.
ReplyDeleteI do remember her and I even remember her name started with a Z.
DeleteIts strange how sometimes a blog post won't appear on the list. Sometimes it takes almost a day and I think nobody loves me. Lol The weird and wonderful quirks of the internet :)
ReplyDeletethat does happen a lot lately. if you go into your post to 'edit', resave and republish, it usually recognizes it, then. so weird that the feed makes it through to various readers, but blogger doesn't recognize its own post.
ReplyDeleteBlogger is behaving very poorly. I now have an entire batch that I am unable to comment in at the PC, yet I can comment on Wordpress and Typepad blogs without trouble. I have dropped back to the iPad and still there are Blogger blogs not allowing me to comment. Perhaps this is why the numbers have been slipping. When something doesn't work well, it doesn't take long to let it go. I knew nothing of the forum you used to use. Too bad that they are gone. I used to belong to a message board, but Iike pictures as well as words. After a month, they'd sweep everything clean, No archives. In the end, I left. Still, it was a great group of folks.
ReplyDeleteI was having trouble with my last post. It showed up on my blog at when I linked it to my Twitter account but it took many hours to actually show up on my Blogger reader 'and' my Bloglovin. xo
ReplyDeleteLove your countdown to Spring Beth! Keep it going! You give me something to look forward to :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day :)
I am having blogger problems, as well.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was our errand/grocery day. We do have sun today but it was 22 this a.m. Cold for us.
Have a lovely afternoon.
It is still cold and blustery here, too...and snowing again!
ReplyDeleteWe lived for a short while in Illinois Beth and this is what I remember....cold and blustery......what are you going to plant in your garden this year?
ReplyDeleteblogger has been cranky these days, perhaps it is the weather ;)
ReplyDeleteI just list all the blogs I read on their own blog and then just go there to see who posted last. Works for me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any trouble with blogger lately. Lucky I guess!
You are so much well versed with blogs and the sites and how they work. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm. It will get very cold they say.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Blogger is fine, and sometimes it's a pain. Currently it's making it difficult for me to reply to comments. I type my reply, click on Publish, and the reply shows up far away from the comment instead of immediately below it. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
My posts sometimes don't show up either. Not sure what's up with that!
ReplyDeleteI know- I get so disgusted with Blogger sometimes and then I think that if it wasn't FOR blogger I wouldn't be here at all. It is just a pain some days. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThat was interesting. I agree, Blogger has issues, but they all do.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that your post didn't publish..??
ReplyDeleteI haven't noticed any problems Beth, at least not that I'm aware of, Live spaces was such fun and so versatile, I'm also on WP but find it a bit restrictive, if you want to customise you have to pay premiums which I find a liberty and won't pay. o I'll stick with Blogger and hope they don't go down. keep well and warm
