The "I Will Overcome" Story

It was an ordinary day.  And, I'm really PO...ed.  Yesterday I opened my bookmark for It was an ordinary day.  And, I'm really PO...ed.  Yesterday I opened my bookmark for "Blogger" and I didn't recognize it.  Thought I had the wrong page so I deleted it and tried again.  Yep, same results.  I have opened this bookmark maybe 3000 times since I started writing stories on "Blogger" and never had this happen.  About a year ago "Blogger" informed its online bloggers that it had a new editor for you to use that had newer and better features to it.  I gave it a try twice, when asked to do that.  But, found that it was harder to add photos and I couldn't move them around in the story like I could with the old editor that I had used from conception of my blog.  So I always switched back to the old editor.  Today I was not given that chance.  I evidently have to use the new editor or close this account and open a new one elsewhere.  Don't want to do that since so many of you have bookmarked this read and prefer not to have to do it again.  At least that is how I would feel.  So ....... I, for the time, will only be able to incorporate one photo into each story.  I think I can add multiple photos in a row with a sentence between each one, but have not figured it totally out yet.  I "Googled" the problem of only one photo and found that no one else has the answer.  Why did they do that when the old editor was fine?  I like some of the new features that I now have on my screen such as being able to go backwards through what I have done in case I happen to delete something by mistake and don't realize it immediately.  I can keep hitting the backward arrow and I can go back to when I made the problem for myself.  Also like the easy way to link something from another source to my story so you can click on it and go to the source.  And, the preview button in the tool bar at the top allows me to see what my story looks like as soon as I am done.  In the past I actually have to publish it and see if it looks OK, then go backwards and place it in my library for future use.  At times I wonder what happened when I did a practice run and put a story on my blog to check it and then removed it.  If someone happened to be reading it, did it instantly disappear?  I still don't kn ow that answer.  I did like on the old editor the fact that as I typed a new name for a story, if I had used the name before, it would show me that and I could change the name.  Now I may use the same name over by mistake so if a story title reminds you of something you may have read in the past, read it anyway since it probably is the same story title used over again.  Well, I have something I need to tell you about Spam with Bacon so I will finish for now.  Keep checking back though, for I will eventually beat the system and be able to put photos all over the place.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy."Blogger" and I didn't recognize it.  Thought I had the wrong page so I deleted it and tried again.  Yep, same results.  I have opened this bookmark maybe 3000 times since I started writing stories on "Blogger" and never had this happen.  About a year ago "Blogger" informed its online bloggers that it had a new editor for you to use that had newer and better features to it.  I gave it a try twice, when asked to do that.  But, found that it was harder to add photos and I couldn't move them around in the story like I could with the old editor that I had used from conception of my blog.  So I always switched back to the old editor.  Today I was not given that chance.  I evidently have to use the new editor or close this account and open a new one elsewhere.  Don't want to do that since so many of you have bookmarked this read and prefer not to have to do it again.  At least that is how I would feel.  So .......
