What a Feckup that blogger has become ! When I started using this series , all I had to do was callup the Home page , click on the “ open a new tab “ for each of the blogs to get the statistics , revise the content of a post or create a new post !
NOW I have to open a separate window for each blog to do any tidying that is needed , or to even add “ photos “ to the blog content added elsewhere .
Blogger “ boasts “ each time you open the dashboard , that they have created an even better situation for the user !
WRONG , WRONG , WRONG !!!
Now I am not only using 3 times more MB to do posts , I am even having trouble to get to the relevant blog to do posts . Now I have to go through the dashboard , and their empty promises , to “ new Post “ , enter the words and then publish . After I go back to try to post the photos where I want them . BUT the current system will not allow me to do so .
How come I had several years of trouble free access and now GOOGLE has reinvented the wheel , and I am not only inconvenienced but frustrated ? Do I look at the Ads ? NO WAY JOSE ! The bastards think they are improving the service BUT I am now worse off and looking at GOING ELSEWHERE !
Must be easier to work with another system than being treated like a meal ticket by a corporation that is only looking at their bottom line ! As regards their “ Ad sense ( you know the ads you click on ) , FORGET IT ! Not one cent from day one !
THIS POST took so long i thought about giving up and going to read a book !
21 seasons of pedalling the Pro Tour Routes of Europe has brought me into contact with some amazingly generous people and i will try to do their generosity justice in this Blog when they have approved the content !

COMMENTS REQUIRED !
Despite loading “ Google Chrome ” several times over the past months , I continue to get this annoying message :
“ Your browser is no longer supported by Blogger. Some parts of Blogger will not work and you may experience problems.
If you are having problems, try Google Chrome. | Dismiss “
Seems I need assistance from more than “ Blogger ” here ! Note that I have been doing less blogging than normal and if this is not solved will happily discontinue using “ Google related products ” ! Voted with my feet by abandoning “ Paper.li ( daily newspaper “ Parrabuddy ” ) ” so big deal here !
LACK OF FEEDBACK from readers has finally convinced me that NOONE is interested in helping me “ help ” Paralympic Sports Athletes !
Each of the Para athletes emailed in recent times has failed to respond so you can draw your own conclusions from that !
As I head off to the Giro , do I need to do as “ Georgethecyclist ” does , spend time searching out “ internet cafes ” ?
You got it ! NO WAY JOSE ! !
As an aside , I note that the following posts received visits but no comments ?
Pat Mc Quaid’s new posture 370
Cycling News Forum 307

Livestrong Fund Raising 51

Hard to understand that people will read these posts but fail to comment !

Cities fit for Cycling : Comments to the " TIMES " , difficulties abound !
This may not surprise you ! During the period of the " Cities fit for Cycling " campaign , i have virtually daily tried to find the way to leave " comments " on The Times particularly encouraging people to read my blogs which are a series of articles on " Cycling and Road Safety matters " !
So far i have " pledged Support for the Campaign and even put the " Logo " on each blog , in the prime position ! Further i have commented to other well known Blogs to give the " Logo detail" so that they can copy and Paste to their blogs !
Reading : http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/cyclesafety/article3309117.ece i see that it is not updated since the 4th Feb !
Some occasions whilst attempting to reach the " Comments " or the intro point to leave a Story , i get a box asking for £ 2 a month , guess what !
the times are seeking to turn this Campaign to their financial benefit !
Another time i saw that only those registered with the Times can access the " Stories " !
Perhaps someone will assist me to get my Point of View across since i am in Austria on a low Broadband access ( 16bits/sec ) and seeing the same story in a round the houses series is totally frustrating !
My blogs can be found by Googling : " Parrabuddy & Skippydetour " as can my Twitter.com/skippydetour and Farcebook " Skippy Mc Carthy "!
Please recommend my blogs to others since i am a supporter of " Adaptive Sport " and wish to see the roads become SAFER for ALL !
In conclusion i would add that only 77 MPs attending the debate is an OUTRAGE !
Where and WHY were the remaining 500 + that were in good health and no doubt claiming " expenses " for their " Duties " yesterday ?
TO THE “TIMES ” , this is the normal situation i experience !
Visiting your paper to add comment results in frustration !
