All the stuff you never knew you needed to know about life in rural France.....and all the stuff the books and magazines won't tell you.

Costa Rica silent....

I really cannot fathom Blogger.

I posted on my other blog today...and it doesn't get posted to the people who follow it.

I've done all the usual voodoo....comments to pop up format....'yes' to post pages....edit and save as draft....take it off selected time to automatic and usually one or all of the voodoo elements works....but this time they don't.

And it's certainly no good asking Blogger.

So it's off for the wax and pins....unless anyone out there has a suggestion?

  1. Leave it set to Auto-post at a certain time perchance? Might work.

    If not, a stiff drink might help. Though not with the actual posting bit...

  2. Yes, I'll try to be not such a control freak..meanwhile the gin and tonic did wonders.....almost calm, putting down the machete...

  4. Are any settings different from this blog at all? I'm guessing you already compared the two as this posted OK? Silly question... sorry!

  5. One of Bloggers many little foibles... wish I knew the answer but I doubt if anyone at Blogger knows it too!

  6. English Rider, yes, I'd forgotten that part of the ritual Blogger dance...I'll have a go.

    Craig, I've set them both up in the same way but I frequently have problems with the other one.

    Steve, suspect you're right.

  7. It's the darn French again, another one of their tricks! After your last blog and what you wrote about les croissants, it was bound to happen. Hopefully they will forgive you soon and you can resume your blogging activity. Bonne chance!

  8. Bienvenue chez French Girl in Seattle...yes, it was foolhardy in the extreme to criticise the great god croissant....

  9. I trust that you have the date in the American format. That can fool us Anglophiles.

  10. Sorry you've been bashed by blogger once again. Not sure i understand what the cause of the problem seems to be here this time. I'll always be glad to try and shed some light on it if I can though. I just need to know what you have done and blogger clearly hasn't, in return.

    Bish Bosh Bash, I'll be e mailing you again.. I think I owe you rather a lot of banana wine...

  17. Mark, I've tried everything suggested and so far...zilch.

    I keep thinking about Wordpress only to be terrified of it when I look at it closely!
