Why this Blog?

A place where I can lament the changing times; for eccentric comments on current affairs and for unfashionable views, expressed I hope, in cogent style; also occasional cris de coeur largely concerned, I regret to say, with myself.

641: HELP!!



Is there someone really clever out there who could help me please?  I need help with the dark, to me closed-book world of HTML.


For some reason, the number of posts appearing on my front page has been drastically reduced, for no reason of which I am aware.  I have attempted to adjust this in the settings facility and of course, as I have found in the past with other HTML problems, this has had no effect.


So please advise me if you can.


Thanks in advance, and,

Until the next time.

HTM Hell (Part N)

Ha ha!!

It's crazy isn't it? I have made three posts this evening so far and bingo! The links are back in the colour I selected last night whilst trying to correct the self-induced problem. I swear that I have done absolutely nothing except make a few posts.

How an enormous global industry can function with such a useless crackpot and unreliable system is entirely beyond my comprehension.

Until the next time (if HTM Hell lets me)

EDIT; I don't believe it! They've gone back to dark blue. HTM Hell is obviously reading this blog Grrrr

This is too much: I posted my edit and they've turned back again - this time what will happen??

HTM Hell Again

Apologies for the dark blue links; these have appeared spontaneously thanks to the usual problem I have with HTML.

I posted my last article and as quite often happens, I was advised that there were errors in the HTML! Why? I had nothing to do with HTML (I know better than to interfere with this nightmare).

Anyway, after i had deleted all the so-called bad scripts, bingo! The HTML is buggered up.

Regrettably I can do nothing except hope, that as before the blasted thing puts itself right.

Until the next time.

More HTML Grief

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
