I had been using Google Chrome and Firefox concurrently to determine which was more “efficient” for my needs. At one point I preferred Chrome and got rid of Firefox. That worked alright for a short period.
One site that I spend a lot of time on is the Blog Doctor. The gentleman who writes that site, Vin, has really assisted me with format and HTML coding “issues” that have come as I continually “upgraded” The “Flush.”.
The Blog Doctor does not “run” well using Chrome. I have found this the case with other sites. And having two “browsers” had become tedious. So I deleted Chrome and have decided to use Firefox full time. So far so good.
Speaking of tedious, Blogger, as a “service”, although free, was getting on my nerves. It has been slow, things don’t work as described and the support is terrible. I also have grown to despise anything associated with Yahoo.
I’m also not a big fan of Microsoft. I did, however, try Windows Live Writer to post, but then, because of all the “other” crap that comes “bundled” with Writer, my laptop basically had a stroke. All sorts of weird things happened. So I deleted and gave up, temporarily, on Windows Writer.
If I’m not incredibly boring you to tears, Blogger just can’t do what Writer does, and I’m not at this point going to switch over to Word press (is that what they call it?) or something similar, so I downloaded a “newer” version of Writer without all the other nonsense they want you to use, for example - Messenger. Writer seems to be working just fine now.
Ok, so more code changes and upgrades, bla, bla, bla. Then I took a hard look at the last three months of posts with an extremely critical eye towards what “message” I was delivering. Three posts in particular did not meet my criteria for what my goal for this blog is and so I deleted them. Following this rationale I also deleted a bunch of names of irrelevant folks on my subscriber and e-mail list that are, like many in the trucking industry, deadweight, and offer no value to me or what I’m trying to accomplish.
And so, I’m pressing ahead with my goal of continually upgrading the blog as a marketing tool for my own talent while making sure the content is fresh, thought provoking, sometimes funny and hopefully useful to you.
