Wandering around Blogger

In the time since I have been stepping up my blogging, I've also just looked through various information from the folks at Blogger. For instance, I finally realized that this blog is a little wonky... I had changed my e-mail address (when I no longer had Earthlink as an ISP)... and... with my new e-mail address, if I can't remember my old password (which I don't), I can't be an administrator of this blog. I'm just an "author." Which means that I can't change much of anything. The title, "caelen web wanderings," the template, nothing. All those lovely options of "Comments" or "Design"? Yeah, I can't touch them. And... I can't seem to sort out a way to do it without dealing with a human. But I'm not sure what human support is available for a free blogging service. Ah well, maybe this is step one for me getting on the ball about it.

Today, wandering within Blogger Help again, I took a gander at the column on the right and saw "Recommended articles and discussions." Simple enough, right? Normal content for help pages? Um... not quite. One "Recommended article and discussion" is "What does life mean to you?"Another, with enough grammar issues to choke a... a hedgehog is "Does you're blog make you happy?" Huh. Well, maybe my blog makes me happy. Maybe it doesn't. But your continued incorrect use of "you're" is not making me happy.

Alright, alright. I decided to read some of these discussions rather than just mocking them for their oh-so-deep-and-meaningful topics. One is actually kind of fun and interesting. People are saying how blogging goes for them -- interesting stuff. But the topic of "What does life mean to you?" doesn't seem to go over too well... most of the posts end up with people arguing or getting upset.

Well. Anyway. I wasn't trying to write a dissertation, I was just laughing at what I'd discovered. But I was getting kind of lost in it. As I can so often do with the internet.
