It would seem that WordPress has been at it again … trying to ‘fix’ that which was already working just fine. About half the time now we are asked to ‘log in’ when trying to comment on a post, or even just click the ‘like’ button. This, even though we are already logged in. The process also frequently asks us to provide our passwords, which I find concerning, to say the least. On the flip side, some comments are being posted without giving the person the opportunity to provide a screen name or to ‘log in’, which results in comments showing up as “Anonymous” or “Someone”. I hope that WordPress will address and repair this issue soon, but meanwhile, if you see that your comment is anonymous, I would ask that you let me know who you are at the end of your comment, like Keith always does. While I can sometimes figure out who wrote the comment by tone-of-voice or a key word, I am not a mind reader, so I’m asking you to please let me know, even if you just put your initials, first name, nickname, or some identifying note. I apologize on behalf of WordPress and the “Happiness Engineers” who haven’t brought much happiness lately, and I thank you in advance for your help!

DAMMIT WordPress!!!! 🤬
I must admit that I had begun working on a post, but found it impossible to get motivated. “Why bother?” I asked myself. For the past two days, none of my posts have been included in Reader, meaning that my views are down by about 60%, as the only people reading my posts are those who get notifications via email. And even then … at least two readers have notified me that they are having trouble opening and following the link in the emails!
I contacted the “Happiness Engineers” at WordPress tech support yesterday about the problem and they said they would get back with me soon … as of this morning, they had not responded, so I contacted them again, and still have no response. I work very hard on my posts … I put a lot of time, usually several hours, and a lot of … me into them. It’s frankly discouraging to know that more than half my followers cannot read my posts because WordPress techies are not doing their job. In addition, they had the gall to tell me that perhaps I need professional help in designing my blog! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr …
So, for today you’ll just have to put up with my grumbling, and tomorrow I will dust myself off and get back to work! Meanwhile, let’s hope the techies can fix the problem before in a fit of pique I cancel my account with WordPress altogether!
Thanks to all my wonderful readers for your ongoing support and hopefully we’ll have this glitch fixed by tomorrow!
