Well, my many, virtuous, devoted followers, it doesn’t look good. Lulu is having a tizzy. She is wearing a cervical collar as a straight jacket. Only piece of equipment that can contain her. Me....I have bloody stumps for fingers after continually typing. My brain is in a constant spinning mode. Sad, just plain sad. All of it! We really need your sympathy now.....more than ever.
I have worked on my blog site problem for many weeks now....starting November 12th. Nooooooooo. I’m pooped! Everything I try doesn’t seem to have or be the right answer. Whhhhhyyyyyy. The travel blog support site has never answered me. They used to respond within 24 hours. Where art thou ol’ Travel Blog people?
The problem (refresher) we are dealing with is: the TB site is not notifying the majority of you followers that I have published a blog. I don’t even get notified (I use myself as a check on my publishing blog status). Help! HELP!
I have “Googled” it (Google is our friend), tried other blog sites (ex: blogger.com—very limiting), tried using “Word” app but photos come out too large and all of it will take up too much space on your
device. I have done a copy/paste (of the URL address as well as a full copy of the entire blog) on a email form(only way it works....most of the time but not always). Tried an app called WordPress (way too confusing and unfriendly unless it’s just me.... say that’s not true! ).
Went to the manager of our Wellsville Verizon store (Rodney). He’s so smart and always helps me with everything! He said that probably my travel blog site has or is closing down. He said I don’t get any answers from them cause “no one is there”. He said the problem is at their end because they have not “updated” some certificate. By not doing this makes them unsecure for some browsers (ex: Google Chrome). He said that the unsecure notice is nothing to fear other than they have not updated this certain certificate. Thus some browsers won’t accept it. And, therefore, those of you are left out in limbo land. Unless you decide to move forward anyway. It won’t affect you if you do. Cory also found this long and involved answer when he researched Google Chrome.
My daughter, Lory (IT expert...it’s her job) is coming
down tomorrow to see if there is ANYTHING that I can do to keep our blog going. Oh, God. I hope so. I love writing our blogs and appreciate all your positive remarks about it.
Lulu will go into a withdrawal state if she can’t be with all of you again. She’ll become a hermit. She became somewhat withdrawn just through the summer when our blogs took a rest. She blossomed and became her old, perky self once we connected again. I hate to see her recoil into her cocoon.
There has to be an answer somewhere but where? Inquiring minds want to know! Don’t give upon us. Keep your bags packed. I know we will begin a new journey again. I just know it, Toto! But I don’t how or how long it will take. Please be patient.

Dear frustrated Travelblogger...
I am a Moderator and we also are concerned about our Administrator's seeming lack of attention. Another Moderator has spoken to the Administrator, who seems to be spending his time fixing the security certificate. As for your immediate problem of our subscribers not getting emails of your posts, I would suggest that they become New Bloggers (it doesn't cost anything, and they don't have to post anything), and then Followers of your blog. Then they can log onto the site and see what you've written. I hope that our Administrator fixes these issues soon, too. I love your sense of humor!
