I've had issues where Blogger won't let me make a comment on their sites unless I use my Google account, rather than my Wordpress account or Open ID. That really annoys me, so out of sheer orneriness, I go to great lengths to not use Google. Most of the time I succeed.<br /><br />Good luck getting everything straightened out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-32666387418139683642015-10-08T12:23:58.331-04:002015-10-08T12:23:58.331-04:00That's really rough.

It doesn't even matter if a new cartridge was just put in. I'm just waiting for ink to finish up on a printer that constantly jams, because I have a new printer in a box waiting for me to hook up.

It often won't let me in because "this email already in use". Well, duh! Yes. It's the one I give you, Wordpress! And when it does let me in, I can't comment till I have subscribed to that post. Too many of these things don't have an inquiry email, you have to check out the forums for fellow users, not the people who run it. I started a Wordpress blog, but haven't gone back to it for some time. It's too fiddly. <br /><br />So far, no problems with Blogger, and my blog has been around since 2006. But I feel for you! <br /><br />Recently, I dropped my iPad and had to replace it. Fine. I had it backed up in iTunes. But when I went to download everything I'd backed up, it didn't download everything. I lost all my PDF documents and nearly all the books on my Kindle app, the ones I'd bought with my gift voucher. There were a few of the old books which were free due to copyright expiry, but nothing else. <br /><br />So I bought a paid iCloud account, which is still not letting me back up. Urk!

I had a nightmare with Google + once, where I lost all my blog photos when I deleted them on my smart phone (apparently everything was synced). I was so upset. I redid every post!<br /><br />So is it an old computer problem or security? I wonder. Let me share what my husband (a retired computer guru) did for me on my PC to establish security. I have three log on's with passwords. #1 is for general use; I do google searches here, access my blog, work on my book, store photos, and other general stuff. #2 is for Finance; I only use this for paying bills and checking investments. #3 is for Admin; I do updates here. By dividing access, no one can fully hack my general site. Make sense? Something else we use is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (we have the paid version). It runs on a schedule, but whenever my computer starts acting strange, I run it again. I also do the same with Spybot-Search and Destroy (we use the free version). In addition, I have McAfee Security Scan Plus and Microsoft Security Essentials (which came with my Toshiba). I use Mozilla Firefox. Hope this helps!Sharon Himslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835934582653243661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-930954719684925892015-10-07T18:15:49.439-04:002015-10-07T18:15:49.439-04:00Since the late 1970's i've said that to er...Since the late 1970's i've said that to err is human but to really foul things up requires technology.
