Why do I post on Blogger?



The answer to my question is pretty simplistic, since I rarely have had anyone except Will comment on my posts I write and post here because Multiply where I get many good comments and have good interaction with other bloggers will not actually let me post directly to that site. Each time I blog and try to post there I get the same message: "javacsript/css not allowed". BUT, when I post a blog on Blogger I am able to import it into Multiply, and even though I get the same message, the blog is posted. Problem solved. As to the history of this problem, I have struggled with it for many months. There was a time when I first migrated here from 360 at the invitation of my 360 friends, when posting was a metaphorical slam-dunk. I have not recollection of when the problem began for me; I did nothing different, but my posts were routinely rejected. I tried posting directly to the site; I tried writing a blog on Wordpad and then using copy/paste; at the suggestion of a friend I first copy/pasted to Notepad, then to Multiply: same result. I had opened a Blogger account in 2007 but really hadn't posted much there, though I accessed blogs written by others, but one day I scrolled down to the bottom of the Multiply blog form and saw the "Import" option, and found that anything I posted to my Blogger site could be successfully imported into Multiply. As an aside to this: when 360 folded up its tents and stole off into the night, Yahoo migrated all of my account archives and profile into its "new" Yahoo Profile page; I had thought to delete that account, but I have used Yahoo email and my address there on so many other sites and applications that when I discovered that I could not delete Yahoo Profile without deleting every Yahoo application including email, I reinstated that account. So, now, my face and name appear on multiple sites and I think of the old homily "fools names and fools faces, are often seen in public places".

Thank you so much for visiting my second blog page. So nice to see you.

I posted a note earlier this week threatening to shut down my page on Multiply - in fact shut down the whole of Multiply if I could! For the very reasons you have mentioned here. There followed a deluge of complaints from people having the same problem - if it wasn't for some very nice people on Multiply, I would move out!

Please come by again. I post more on Bee's Blog as Up Front and Serious didn't seem to go the way I would have liked. Ah, that's life!
