It's a real shame but I have been having trouble with submitting blogs on connect for the last week. Well I say shame, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. If I'm honest I have struggled with positive and happy things to blog about and have been extremely concerned of late that all I seem to write about is how unhappy I have been. That's not a good way to make or keep friends and I need friends now much more than I need to offload about my problems. After all, offloading doesn't change them or resolve things.
I am also concerned that iVillage will also abandon connect completely very shortly. After all, it's been nearly a year since everyone else abandoned it when they changed the format and botched the job. The teckies have made no attempt to rectify matters and an error that I and the few remaining faithful reported in July (that no one could see blogs while logged in) has also gone unfixed. That's 5 months for something which has supposedly been on the priority list. These days we don't get to hear when other people have blogged and can't have private settings to keep some stuff just to ourselves.
Anyway, the upshot of this is that I have copied and pasted all my blogs on to my own journal and will be writing my blogs just for me from now on. That way, I can offload as much as I need to without anyone having to bear witness to the full extent of what I am dealing with. Hopefully it also means that I won't alienate anyone who does happen to stumble across this
I feel quite angry with iVillage over this, but won't bother letting them know as they have not dealt with any of the problems I have reported as listed above. If they happen to read this then good luck to them.
