For months now, Blogger has not allowed me to comment on my own blog or the other group blog I'm part of, The Stiletto Gang. I can post, edit,schedule, change the profile and template on those blogs all I want, but I can't reply to anyone's comments. Yet, obviously, I can comment on this and other Blogger blogs. It defies logic--and Blogger does not respond to my pleas for help.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-31907283547387369132014-04-11T15:17:01.282-04:002014-04-11T15:17:01.282-04:00I feel your pain, Warren.

A smart, enterprising teen could make a ton of money helping those of us who are baffled by technological improvements. <br /><br />I will now try to post this comment by typing illegible words to prove that I'm not a robot. Then, I will need to fix the words that were incorrectly autocorrected and sign in to Blogger.

When you save the file it will open with MS Word. If you just try to open the file without saving the file, it will open in MS Open Office--and I don't think it has a "Review" function.E. B.

I suppose if I spent an hour or so on trying to figure it out, I could do so, but I'm too busy to take the time.<br /><br />Recently on the Guppy Listserv there's been a lot of discussion on Mac vs other computers and I know I loved the Mac I had years ago - which is still sitting on a shelve in the garage. Most Mac users love them and I've considered getting one, and then when I think about the time involved learning how to use it and transfer everything from what I have now to that, I decide to stay with what I have and understand - mostly.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-45945513571168383252014-04-11T09:13:18.929-04:002014-04-11T09:13:18.929-04:00E.B.

I don't know how many word processing programs I've "mastered" over the years, only to have them fall by the wayside. Now I struggle with a combination of docx (my computer does not have doc, and nobody--including the computer service people, can figure out how to add it) and rtf, which seems to be going the way of all the others. I have to borrow a computer to read the edited editions of my work from my publisher.<br /><br />One thing I learned years ago was to print out my address book every time I make a change in it (or make the change in the printed copy, if it's a small one)<br /><br />Good luck with the changes. It's like driving a fancy American car--there are all sorts of things it can theoretically do, but making it actually work for any length of time is the main challenge.<br /><br />Do you want us to all e-mail you so you can get our addresses?KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-24217308527765970242014-04-11T08:16:40.307-04:002014-04-11T08:16:40.307-04:00My condolences.

I use gmail or Hotmail and third-party software (Thunderbird on my computer and K-9 Mail on my phone and tablet).

Perhaps Linda will put it in her writer's quote collection! On the AARP, everyone else says the same thing even if they aren't yet old, so why would they be any different? We have gone from one extreme to the other (as usual) from JFK's famous, "Ask not," speech to entitlement. I'll stop before I get started. Thanks for the laugh.E. B.
