Based on what you’ve all told me, some like the new, some like the old. From what you’ve told me, these are the issues:
- The font, whether it’s the size, the color, the background — is hard to read. I had expressed those same concerns but it is is what it ended up being. I can’t change it now until I save up enough to have a new blog done or until I’m brave enough to go back to the old one.
- No “next” or “previous” button on each post. I wish they were there, along with a “print” button so you could print the post without all the other stuff on the page. It isn’t there and like the above issue, it is what it is til I can get something done.
- Links should change color after you’ve clicked on them. That’s something I cannot fix. I see how it’s a problem and when I do get a re-do, it will be fixed.
- Recent posts – I’ve added that to the right sidebar so you can see the 5 most recent posts listed there. Does that help?
- Archives – I’m into my 6th year of blogging, though some of those early posts were pretty . . bad! They’re listed by month/year and the number of posts that month at the bottom.
- Categories – Same as archives. At the bottom, of the page, there’s a list of categories and the number of posts in each category.
I do appreciate each reader . . whether you comment or not. I feel like I have a whole world of friends out there and I do want you all to be happy with the blog — with the appearance and with what you read here. You may not always agree with me and I try to keep most of the disagreeable stuff off the blog. My goal as a blogger is to share my life, in as many ways as is practical. You know there are things that go on around here that I don’t report. Huh? You thought I told everything? I don’t! 
And seriously, you’re very glad that I don’t! I am blessed in so very many ways. There’s hardly ever a day in my life that I have to do something I don’t enjoy doing and I’m happy you’re all here enjoying this ride through life with me.
Eventually I’ll get the blog all set up in a way that works for me and is easy on your eyes and easy to find things. Stick with me a little longer, ok?
