Locked out of my blog!

Indeed I was! I was given a 403 error page each time I tried to view my blog. Talk about panic-stricken!

I was told to clear my cookies and history, which I did. No cigar.

On AOL journals, there was always a journals editor with whom I could get in touch to help me solve such problems.

Finally I clicked on the "help" thingie at Blogspot and found a place where I could identify myself and my problem. Within ten minutes my blog was opened to me once again. There was no communication from them, so I don't know if it was just a temporary fluke, or if they fixed the problem at my request.

Has this happened to any of you, my readers?

    Hi Donna, thanks for coming by. I've been aiming to get here for a couple of days. You asked about the pampas grass. The one in the picture is about 4.5 years old and hasn't done a lot of invading yet. We have a smaller variety by the driveway that stays pretty small. I think it depends on which kind of ornamental grass it is.

    I saw the photos of your kiddos by the wringer washer. Granny had a wringer washer and did laundry on the back porch. She heated the water on the kitchen stove and carried it to the porch. We were talking about that today, with Richard Cottrell. He grew up, much the same as we did.

    Loved the old photos of your kiddos. They remind me of some of the photos of my kids when they were growing up.

  5. i'm so afraid of something like that happening.
    i wish they had a blog editor we could get in touch with something goes wrong that's not listed in the help colomn, as i'm sure things will come up that we can't find the answer to there.

  6. Nope. Not me so far.

    I do however had to the problem of not able to go to comments after I clicked it in some regular blogs I surf regularly. I had to come back again a few hours later or the day after to be able to leave any comments.

    So far, Blogger has been good, but at times very slowly to load a particular blog site.

  8. No I have never had that happen. I guess I'd have to call my computer guy to bail me out if it did. I'm no good at problem solving when it comes to computers.

    Liked your post on the camper. I'd hate to see it go too, lots of memories for you.

    It's VERY aggravating.
