This hurts...
I had a long list of blogs that I followed from back in the day. Unfortunately, some of them have fallen into ...other hands?...and were now being updated with non-sewing material, to put it mildly.
I repeatedly tried to edit out the blogs that were now talking about stuff other than sewing, or that set off my Unsafe Site alert when clicked, or that were now just filled with crazy asian script, but I could. not. get. Blogger to save updates. The Save button just would NOT activate. I tried over and over, over several months.
Then I hit on an idea...what if I just made a new blog list widget, with the bloggers that I could remember who were still publishing? I could copy and paste from the old list pretty easily. Then I could delete the old one and hopefully not get those random non- sewing links showing up
It was sad to go through the list and see all the fine folks who were no longer blogging. And, it's true, some had even reactivated after several years of being dormant...that was exciting to see. But truth was...any non- active blog seems to be subject to being hijacked and used for other purposes so I took a deep breath and just listed the ones I thought were active, as best I could remember.
It saved it...in the wrong place. I tried to move it, but no dice, so I did a new one...again...
It saved, I thought, but all I managed to do was get rid of both the old list and the list in the wrong place. The list in the right place, for whatever reason, didn't save.
So I will likely have to reconstruct it all from scratch again and that will take some time.
Bummer.
I guess this is the kind of thing that happens when I can't actually sew, lol.
I will say I am recovering from the hip surgery slowly. It's one week out today and I actually managed to lift my foot high enough to get over the edge of the bathtub, so I could take a real shower. Hooray for small victories...
