Further to my rant about the appalling HTML, I must apologise to my readers. When the blog went "tits up" yesterday and wrecked my post, it did another nasty thing. Links are meant to appear in orange - to contrast nicely with the black background. Now they are dark blue. I have checked in the settings and indeed it SAYS that they are orange... That's HTML for you - and the same thing happened on another blog I run. I cannot change the colour of links. I must make it absolutely clear that until this evening, I had not changed or even looked at the settings for weeks.
I am afraid that I am unwilling to change the colour of the overall blog, so until Google, the providers of the BLOGGER service, find a way to operate without HTML (which obviously doesn't work properly) I must ask you to put up with the dark-blue links.
Addendum: I have found a way out of this nightmare: each time I enter a link I have to change the colour of the word manually - you will still see a dark-blue underline, but of course I have no control over that.
Apologies again.
Until the next time
