Continuing battle with Iblog


 I am hopeful that my software woes will soon be behind me. I just downloaded a new build of by blogging software, which allegedly addresses the many bugs in the previous release, including the fact that RSS feeds were not working.  All kind of things keep popping up, such as the fact that the last post I put up lacked carriage returns and proper fonts. The original looked fine but when posted it looked like one big run on sentence. The biggest problem was the fact that each time I hit the publish button the program proceeded to republish the entire blog, including all archives, which is a multi-hour process. Supposedly that's been fixed, and if you're reading this it probably has. I'm writing this as I wait for it to completely republish one more time, which the developer says you must now do once, after which only new items will be posted. I hope and pray it works out that way.


If this keeps up I am thinking of creating a new blog using different software. I'll keep this old site up just in case anyone wants to look at it, with a top entry linking to the new blog. By the way, in order to speed the interminable re-posting process I deleted the old videos. I doubt anyone ever looks at them, and it makes a big difference in the time required to try to rectify this problem.


While I have succeeded in posting this, it has been at great price. I am pretty well convinced I will have to ditch this software. If you look below you will see that the run on sentence is now properly formatted, but the software decided to delete the words "New York Times" and move a link to the words "I am among". One thing I definitely am is unhappy.
