No more problems… another test post


I’m hoping that I’m not speaking, or rather typing, too early, but the earlier problems I had experienced with WordPress seem to have been resolved.

I always automatically think that the problem is to do with my computer now, rather than the site itself, but this time I knew it wasn’t. For one thing, I am using my brand new all singing all dancing computer, and for a second thing my laptop was receiving exactly the same responses.

I also checked out my site on my Mum’s laptop and got an even worse error message there – ‘Unable to establish a connection to the server!’, however everything connected fine through my mobile phone. Three computers, two different providers and one error – I couldn’t view my or anyone else’s blog properly.

Mine seems fine now… and I’ll just check a few of my regular haunts… and yes, they’re fine as well! As is my dashboard! And the Gravatar site also! Yippee!

My site now looks like this:

As opposed to this:

Although it appears that nobody else has experienced any problems today, so my site has probably looked like it always does to everyone else!

Ho hum!

At least I’m back… I was expecting to be away for days, and I didn’t want that!

Normal service has now resumed.

With sincere apologies for what may turn out to be two of the most boring posts in one day in the entire history of WordPress. The internet in fact. No, the entire Universe…!

    Glad to hear everything is working A-ok now for you, Tom. Let’s hope that last too. Nice to hear you got yourself a new computer….that’s always much fun. 🙂
    Nope, not a boring post….you were just explaining a few things and keeping a record.
    Have a great Monday night! 🙂 xx

    No problems here. Unusual for me to say that when WP goes wonky……ooops, I hope I didn’t jinx myself…….

      It was an odd one this time, Andra. One that seemed to affect only me. Really weird!

    I think technology is sentient and truly hates me. It usually waits for an important deadline then fritzes to a mysterious halt. I’m glad all is working for you. I’ve found a swift boot to the side of a computer, doesn’t help the computer, but it’ll make you feel better.

      Barb, I’m baffled by technology.
      I know the bits I’m using, but if I’m asked to do something just a little different I go into panic mode.

    Will it make you feel any better if I tell you last night my internet provider ditched 200,000 customers because of a ‘problem’ , which hasn’t been explained to us. I believe every time there’s a glitch, we, as customers, should be credited with time / use lost. Any supporters?

      There’s definitely something odd going on, Tess. Sometimes just saying there’s a problem would make me happen, but we are always made to believe that it is our fault, not theirs…
