I'm in the midst of moving over to WordPress. It's a lot to learn and I didn't want to go that route. But I felt I had no choice in the matter. It's been a week with this new commenting system and no change. If they change their minds now, I'm gonna be really upset. Perhaps the next time you come back to The Junk Drawer, I'll be moved and you can leave a link to your blog! Hey, Jon — Yeah, I’ve had it with them. I’m in the midst of moving over to WordPress.

The truth is, it's interfering with their Google AdWords so they're using their 80 Ton hammer to mash the main method by which people make money. PageRank. Punishing them for doing what they want other people to do through their system. <br/><br/>I'd do something but I'm a little guy and they're soooo biiiigggg..

I'm not longer notified when new comments appear. So until they fix that, I'll have to be super diligent checking back for comments. But I'm dedicated to everyone who stops by the Junk Drawer, and you WILL get a reply in the comments when you check back.<br/><br/>@ Jeff -- I would have 23 cats, if I let Dave do it. But I feel overrun in my house enough as it is. They own the place :)<br/><br/>@ Regan (aka Sissy)-- I remember when I had a few commenters and one of them was always you! Thank you for being this blog's #1 Fan! There should be a reward for that!<br/><br/>@ Windyridge -- Glad you liked it. I sometimes check out the carnivals. Thanks for reminding me.<br/><br/>@ JD -- LOL. Yes. It's very funny to see how quickly cats can go from 0-60-0 in five seconds. Oh, the life!<br/><br/>@ Alan -- Well, you'll find a lot of complaining in the Junk Drawer. I'm an expert. Of course, I do have some non-complainy things here from time to time. Check out the new post. I got a new food item sent to me today. It's yummy AND numeric!<br/><br/>@ Dan -- And it's gonna be a faster move than I planned, now that Google has it out for us. Today's commenting fiasco is the nail in the coffin. ARGGGH!!!<br/><br/>@ Jaffer -- Thank you. I'll be posting back there in response shortly. Nightmare.

Blogger, then Blogger with your own domain name, then Wordpess with your own domain name …

I’m beginning to wonder if, next time I go to the Post Office to deal with the ornery clerks, I’m going to see your face up on a Most Wanted poster.

Your banner is something I've been wanting to do anyway. I want to have tabs/categories at the top. Couldn't do that with Blogger, but I know I can with WordPress. I just may pop you a note if I don't find how to do that once I'm on WP.<br/><br/>DrowseyMonkey -- Yes, the thought of this move makes me ill. To quote another blogger who put this mess this way: "I want to pull the covers over my head and pretend I never heard of the word blog." Not happy about the extra work I have ahead of me, and right during the holiday season when I'm supposed to be shopping and having fun. @ Frogster — You know, I was looking at your blog today.
