Oh my gosh!  I just spent an hour writing this week’s blog post.  Then, as usual, I tried to add a photo.  Went to “Add Media,” then “upload file,” and selected the photo I wanted.  This is what I’ve been doing every week for over two years.

The photo that killed my original blog post.

This week, I got the message, “ERROR IN UPLOADING YOUR FILE–try again later.” Weird.  I tried again. And again. Hmm.  Maybe I should try later. What can I do while I wait?  I’ll check my messages.

Oops. Another error.  I forgot to save my post before trying to move off the page.  No problem, I’ve done this before. I stayed on the page and pressed the “save draft” button. Happily, I went and deleted all my spam messages.

Then I receive a message that said, “Askmet needs input in order to filter your spam better” or something to that effect.  I clicked on the message only to be asked for an API permission code.  I have no idea what that is.

Clicked off of that and returned to this posting space, thinking I’d try uploading my picture again.

When I got to my post–poof!  It was gone!  I had one, mediocre, first sentence.  OMG!!  I haven’t had that happen before.  I checked my clock.  7:32.  Eek! I have a client appt at 9:00 and no time to re-create the post I wrote this morning.

And the irony?  The original post was titled, “Am I a technophobe?”

No, Prophet didn’t eat my homework, my computer did.

Sorry friends. The week just has to get better from here.  Happy reading.

PS — Next week is National Library Week. I’ll look forward to sharing stories with you then.
