I'd hoped to have this blog all set by now. But, no. For some unfathomable reason Blogger makes changing the primary email on a blog a nightmare. I thought I'd figured it out, read the Help forum posts, set up my secondary blog authors for backup, etc. Then my daughter, who's pretty computer savvy, and I tackled the project.
Since we read that you will lose all your photos from Picasa if you transfer the blog administrator email, we set up a Gmail account and transferred all the photos first. Then we meticulously followed the many steps indicated, using different computers and browsers as instructed.
In the end, I have this blog, which confusedly has two contributors--me here and me on the old version. This new one didn't bring my profile or reader list of 317 blogs I follow, but it's on the old one. I had to write a new profile for this one.
I have no idea what's going on and am frustrated beyond anything I can really explain. I don't think I've ever run across anything this convoluted in my life.
Anyway, just trying to change an email because I moved has ended up costing days of my time, and I still don't know if this blog will go poof when I turn my back.
As I promised before I will find you all if I have to start over. Right now, I think I'll go watch a movie and chill.

Oh, you are a brave one blogger O'Brien. Good idea to take a break before your head explodes. My money is on you and Cybele. I'll keep checking in to see how you're doing.
Yikes, what a hassle! Hope your chilling helped and things are better today. Your blog LOOKS good. I'd never know you were having a problem from this end.
How frustrating. I'm so sorry! I wish I was more computer savvy to help you, but sadly that is not my talent... Good luck!
Technology frustrates me like no other. Sometimes I think it's become anthropomorphic and has decided to hate me back.
My solution is doing just what you did: walk away, take a breather. It will get sorted out.
Donna: Head exploding, yes, still don't know what's going on...
Melissa: Thanks. I hope I salvage most of it.
Nisa; Not mine, either, so that makes this a hair-pulling experience.
Tracy: Yeah, I think we share the tech anthropomorphics. I swear, sometimes, it loves to sabotage me.
