Blogger Kills My Work Computer

 
AND  wasn't even commenting.  I was simply reading a Blogger blog.  It totally killed my work computer.  They spent half the day trying to clear the virus, and once they realized they couldn't, the next 2 hours configuring a new pc for me.  It was AWFUL, including the internet porn sites that was the only thing it would do when you tried to click on anything (even not on the internet.)  ugh.
so, I have to leave Blogger.  And I won't be reading/responding to Blogger blogs while at work anymore.  (only nights/weekends/pre-dawn.)  I do NOT have time to be dealing with this, this weekend.  I'll be moving to wordpress.org.  If I can figure it out.  It's a hodge podge because this Blogger is linked to my domain, and I'm not sure how that will work.  godaddy.com has some good stuff, but I'm waiting to hear back from them.  My blogfairy graphics might disappear for a while until I can get this whole mess sorted out.  Sorry I wasn't able to visit anyone today. (after about 8 am my time when it happened.)  And I'll have to probably spend what internet time I have tonight/this weekend working on this change.  

ah hell. Now wordpress.com deactivated my temporary blog for some reason I cannot fathom.  :(

Sad times.  :(

eta:  OK, I've created a wordpress.org site, which has to have a separate (dedicated?) host, and a domain.  Here's my new site:


I have imported the posts and comments from here over to it.  Next step is working on re-creating the sidebar, and get the Blog Fairy to fix the custom header/background/etc.  This is gonna take a while, because I'm going to be gone from 11 am to about 6 pm tomorrow/Saturday...

sad.grim.pathetic. 

BUT, I'll get there!

Thanks for your patience...

That's so weird - I don't have any issues with Blogger, except that I can't comment on them when I'm using Chrome. What a mess you are facing - I don't envy you.

Thanks.

For now, I'm moving everything to:

http://geelee.wordpress.com/

Fortunately, all of the posts and comments have moved over successfully. Sidebar and custom header/background; not so much. Right now, I'm creating my links over there. I'm waiting to hear from godaddy about the situation with domain for Blogger right now, but needing it for the new site to start it. yuk. :(

I know. Really crappy luck. But every time something went wrong, it was while at a Blogger site, and this final attack: same thing. :(
