I'm just about ready to give up

It's looking like Blogger is never going to let me switch my old blog to the new version of Blogger. I really don't want to start a new blog. I really liked the way the old one looked and I'm pretty attached to my postings. But I'm getting more and more frustrated by the fact that I can't answer most of the replies that are left for me because they all show up as "anonymous-no reply". So I decided I have two choices. I can either dig in my heels and keep fighting, or I can cry "uncle", relax, forget the struggle, and created a new blog.

I'm not going to delete the old blog - it's like a good friend! I have saved all my posts in a Word document, but it doesn't include all the comments my wonderful readers have left for me. So I've put a link to that old blog on my sidebar, and anyone who'd like to go back to review old posts is welcome to do so.

Until I whip this one into shape I think I'll post in both places, but at some point I'll just stop posting at the old location. In the meantime it's a bit exciting - I feel like I'm embarking on a new adventure.
