Hobson's Choice~ Google Chrome

Hi, to all my followers and those who may have just popped on for a sneaky peak after seeing my title.
For two days I have been unable to add anything to my blog or access my Dashboard to contact my DT private sites. This came about totally  out of the blue. The only information I was given was that Blogger no longer recognised my service provider, I was instructed to go to Google Chrome. I love my blog, it is my contact with the outside world, and I do mean world, for it still amazes me, how small the world has become with the aid of the computer and for me especially in blogland. I also greatly appreciate I can have all of the fun, friendships and contacts as I do for FREE. So I shouldn't grumble, but I have been so upset for the past few days, because I am so computer illiterate, I felt deserted and was unable to do anything. I, however, am lucky, for my son was able to help me out by sorting out Google Chrome for me, so I am now back into the land of blogs. The reason I am adding this to my blog is in case anyone out there is on Internet Explorer and receives the message I described above, for them not to panic as I did, for it does all resolve if you convert to Google Chrome ~ indeed Hobson's choice but better than nothing and better than having to pay for it.

  1. Hi Caz, glad you've mamnaged to reconnect to your dashboard. I changed from IE to Firefox some time ago.. must be about a year now because of many problems with IE.. It's been plain sailing since. Hope Google Chrome works for you.

  4. Hi Caz, well we got you converted to Chrome at last, sorry it was such an upsetting process. It can only get better now, fingers crossed. My dashboard stayed intact when I changed. Will give you a ring later.

  6. Hi Caz, I also converted to Chrome months ago because IE was such a pain and sooooo slow. Now I have got used to it I find it's great so don't worry you will find it all soon.
    Have a great day.

  7. It can be awful when computer problems happen and you can't go into Blogland - like being place under house arrest! Chrome is brilliant though - I use it when I come across a blog in a different language because there's a button on the top tool bar that automatically translates for you! Vicky x
