Originally, I had another post prepared ... I thought.
Last night, I spent a couple of hours working on it. When I got up this morning, I had plans to download some pictures of instruction. After opening my page here, everything I had written the night before was gone. Blogger must've erased everything. It saved nothing. Yes. I pushed the Save button ... Several times!
ANYTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN ON MONDAY, YOU SAY... BUT...
I knew something was wonky last night. When I first turned on my computer, I got an error message. Something about not being able to sign in properly. This happened before even going onto the Internet.
AND THEN ...
When I tried that, I got another error message.
I FOUND ...
I had a Homegroup something, something.
WHAT? HUH?
I had never heard of such a thing. But whatever it was, someone was using my internet connection. They even had access to all my files. So I deleted this Homegroup thingie. After and then, I was able to get onto the internet.
PAINFULL. PAINFULL. I'M SHAKING MY HEAD. I HAD A SUCH A GREAT POST TODAY, TOO. REALLY.
By next Monday, I'll try to recapture my thoughts. Sorry, guys.
WAS GOING TO POST A PIC OF GLOWSTICK, TOO! BLOGGER IS BEING A BLOOGER! Cyber-space has been kooky LATELY. Don't you think?
I sure hope Blogger has their crap together by Friday and the rest of the internet world.
Hugs and chocolate, all!
Shelly
Blogger can be a pain in the butt at the best of times. Acckkk!
ReplyDeleteI was so mad. Two hours of hard work lost.
ReplyDeleteUgh ... I've only lost *squints in recollection* maybe 2 or 3 posts since I started blogging many moons ago. But they were all disasters and made me hate blogging for a few weeks. LOL
ReplyDeletePutting a good post together takes a lot of time and thought! Hope the week turns in your favor soon, Shelly.
I was in shock when I opened up my post. This has never happened to me before. But cyber-land has been weird acting this week.
DeleteSomeone's using your internet? Set up a password for your modem/router.
ReplyDeleteMission has been accomplished.
DeleteI compose ALL of my blog posts initially on the Blogger app on my phone--it's much safer. Editing, photos, etc. are added on the computer.
ReplyDeleteYes. You're right. The portion I had typed on my phone was still there.
DeleteBlogger has been particularly irritating for the past few days. Even after I'd saved a blog, and saw it listed, it wouldn't show up. I resorted to plan B, calling it something very rude. Not very technical but it worked.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to be polite not matter what may come my way.
DeleteI think sometimes the computer does only what it wants to do. I wish it would just work like it is supposed to.
ReplyDeleteComputers can be difficult.
DeleteYes, you need to set up a password, especially if by accessing your Internet they can get at your computer.
ReplyDeleteTechnology, basically, sucks. Sorry you had problems. I had some of my own, over weekend. The phone line I hook into was down, and I didn't know it until I called my server, and they actually called my phone company and found the problem, and got it fixed, I'm up and running again.
ReplyDeleteI think we depend too much on this stuff... really I do!

Computers are wonderful, until they don't cooperate!
ReplyDeleteI have never had that happen before, but blogger has been acting funky for awhile now.
