ffs!

Oh my lord! I have had this blog for 3 years. It wanted me to CLAIM it. Like anyone ELSE wanted it. When I made a Google account, it then told me the url was TAKEN! Of COURSE it was taken. It was MINE ffs! Arrrrrrrgggh!!! :-p

it took forever

Wouldn't you know that on the day and at the time I picked to sign up for a Blogspot blog so I could test some borrowed skins on it, Blogger had a scheduled maintenance outage. Only I didn't know this. I kept getting asked to type the scrambled letters so they could tell I wasn't a bot. I must have gone through 10 different windows of this. Then finally it asked me to choose a template, so I knew I was home. But as soon as I applied my new skin and made a small post, it said sorry, but Blogger was going to be down for a half hour--only it was more like 2 hours. So here I am again.
