I’m experiencing some utterly ridiculous problems right now with this blogging platform, and I’m not the only one. I’ve checked through the forums, which I can access without any problem whatsoever, and there are umpteen WordPress Bloggers who are experiencing the same issues.
The blame game says it’s WordPress’ fault, it’s the ISP’s fault, it’s the Internet Watch Foundation’s fault, but nothing and nobody says what the problem actually is.
Of course, those of us affected by the problems know the symptoms of the problems. ‘No Data Received’ on our or other blogs we visit. I’m logged in at my end, but logged out at other blogs I visit. I can’t comment. I can’t actually read the posts to comment on, for that matter. And I can’t get onto my own blog I would say 75% of the time.
It’s took me hours to just add the new header above, and the snowflakes down the side. The dashboard doesn’t work, you see. The internet times out in a split second. This Webpage Can Not Be Displayed.
The forums blame the bloggers as well, and we must clear our caches.
I’ve cleared my cache.
I’ve used a different browser.
I have exactly the same problems I had during the Summer, when the blogging experience was dire. This time, it seems even worse.
It’s frustrating.
And coming back to these issues really makes me want to stay away.
Of course, I won’t. I want to blog, and when things work well, they work well. When they don’t, well, I moan. I like a good moan every now and then. Even moaning makes me feel good at times. Not all the time, I hasten to add.
As luck would have it, I’m still requiring a boost inspiration-wise, but once I get into the swing of things again, I’m sure the ideas for posts will literally fly out.
It’s a good job there’s a major outage going on right now to mask my lack of inspiration. Every silver cloud and all that.
I apologise that I have been unable to reply to all of your recent comments. I have tried, but found myself in the same black hole as before… a black hole that is nowhere near as fun as the one in the Bathroom at the Mansion.
So, after all that waffle, I am back, but blocked. Both internally and externally. For how long? Well, only time can answer that question. (Erm… and by that I mean being blocked… not being back.)
I intend to remain here for as long as I possibly can. Even if, at times, I’m writing only to myself. The post will post eventually, will it not?
I mean to say: blogs you can’t post blogs on. Whatever next?
Looking forward to a speedy resolution to these problems, and my full-time return to the Blogosphere.
