Technology is not always our friend

Earlier this week, I proclaimed that I was going to stop blogging.  That was after spending three weeks trying get the last post to publish.  I wrote the text quickly but then struggled and struggled to add photos.  I think the last straw was when Brady watched me spend an hour posting four photos (and, in the process, messing up other parts of the post).  Even he said it was outrageously tedious and buggy, and that kid could spend hours doing anything electronic.
Ever since I switched from the iPhone to the Nexus, I have had nothing but problems.  The Blogger app won't successfully post any photos so I am forced to use the fat-client via a browser.  The size of the image button is literally the size of a pinhead so I have to zoom in but then the dialog box doesn't like that so, before I click Add Selected, I have to zoom out again or else it doesn't work, etc. I was tolerating all of this for months while grumbling but, for some reason, when Brady basically said that the pinhead sized button was insanity, it put me over the edge. It must be subject to Kathy's Rule ... the idea that people can tolerate things until someone points it out--aloud.
Unfortunately, instead of feeling better, I was just more frustrated because the blog is a lifeline of communication so I know I won't be happy giving it up.  It needs to be easier, much easier. 
Mike has volunteered to look at a few options since one of my frustrations is that I don't have the time for experimentation and false starts.  I need something fairly efficient and reliable, even if that means republishing to a new hosting platform.  Once all of that is figured out, maybe I can get back in the habit of publishing more frequently.


Happy Fall!
