So, as my life was just starting to calm back down after the Sebastian fiasco, the universe has thrown me another curve ball in the form of WordPress updates gone crazy.

I have developed a very strict, inflexible routine for writing my posts, reading the blogs that I follow, answering the comments left on my articles, etc. And in a single evening, WordPress has turned my blogging life upside down!

First, all my email notifications have disappeared..(or ALL of you have simply stopped writing for days…unlikely), except the notifications that WordPress has a new article out. Really??

I am not being notified about new comments on each post…only some of them. So, imagine my surprise when I actually started going through old posts, and I hadn’t answered so many people…I’m so sorry! WP has let me down!! I’m trying to catch back up with that.

The worst thing so far though, is that on a couple of the blogs that I interact with the writers A LOT, I now have to log in after each comment, into a gravatar that is different from the one I use, and it always says my password is incorrect, then after I try again, shows both of my comments..Each of them saying the same thing, but just different enough to make people wonder if my memory is really that short….What is going on? Even worse, I can’t see their responses unless I log out of one gravatar account  to get into the other…It is madness, I tell you! Madness!

WordPress is trying to ruin me. Somehow, I’ve offended them, or they’re jealous. I don’t know which.

So, I’m sitting here rudderless in an ocean of posts that have piled up for days and days, trying to find my way back to my favorites sites and catch back up with my favorite people…It is depressing.

I just wanted to let you know, no. The Liebster Award did not go straight to my head!!! I will eventually figure this nonsense out, and catch back up to all of you. In the meantime, I apologize if it takes me a little time to answer your comments…WordPress can make things hard, but I will not be defeated!!

Any one have any advice for me, I could sure use it, because I’m getting really frustrated here!!
