Eureka to Disappointment in Seconds...

I was so excited - finally updated my browser, had been using Windows Explorer #7 and kept getting messages like "You're using an outdated browser, some functions of our website will not work"! At first, I downloaded Google Chrome because I had heard good things about it - but nothing looked the same (and I couldn't figure out how to get my Favorite Bar (computer-speak, not the watering hole kind) to show up on my screen). So I re-instated my computer to the day before I downloaded (yes, I am lazy and find that's easier than uninstalling something), and moved on up to Windows 8! Wow, I had no idea what I was missing!

Especially in Blogger! The excitement I had when I changed over to the new Blogger Editor (which is so user friendly, especially with picture formatting - always had a problem with that) pales in comparison to the new features now that I have a modern browser. Cleaner, easier to navigate - and pageviews (OK, that's going to be a distraction - did you know that I had six visitors to the blog from Slovakia?)! But the big excitement came with Blogger News popping up on Saturday...

THREADED COMMENTS!!!!!

I've been waiting forever for threaded comments. For those who don't know, threaded comments would allow me to comment on a comment right below the comment - not down at the bottom after all the other comments. And then, if you wanted to comment on my comment about the comment, you could reply right there - we'd have a little mini-discussion in the comment section! A really cool feature of Wordpress that I've been wishing Blogger would implement.

Imagine my disappointment when I followed the instructions and went back to my blog, clicked on a post that had lots of comments to try out the new feature and got a white screen. Nothing but white. I wasn't too worried because it wasn't a blue screen - blue screens are like staring at the lifeless body of your computer - blue screen means you done computing for a while. No, this was a white screen. So I went back to the original set up and then tried it again. Nope - white screen!

Then I started Googling "white screen after changing Blogger" because I didn't know how else to word my inquiry. Thank you, Google - finally found some interesting information. There are glitches! Hmmm - glitches are not good. So, long story (and isn't this a long story), I will have to wait until Blogger gets those glitches ironed out before I can change my comments over to threaded comments! Boo :(

But, hey, now I can spend countless hours looking at my page views. Did you know that National Teacher Day has the most hits? Interesting!

What got you excited this past weekend, People of Blogland? Bonus points if you use 'comment' in your comment - because didn't I use that word a lot in this post! Coffee - stat!
