I am SOOO tired of my BloggerforWord not Working...

Yes, it is I, returned from a way too extended hiatus. Short story long (or something like that), after a server problem that frustrated the hell out of me that was a Blogspot issue, I then wound up with a BloggerforWord issue that I spent a month or so trying to resolve.

Why is that an issue, you ask?

Okay, so that’s not the most terrible thing that could happen so why have I let that one problem keep me from posting to my blog? I mean, come ON! This is where I share my opinions for a hoped-for audience, right?

I write much easier while writing on MSWord rather than thru the Blogspot venue. My thoughts come out easier and because I tend to edit myself while writing (a mistake I know) it’s easier to redo something I don’t like yet still keep writing. Or leaving it behind because I know it’ll be easy to find later.

So why not just ‘copy-n-paste’?

Because I can’t use the font I like in Blogspot but it loads as such when it comes thru BloggerforWord.

I have done everything I read to and was told to do and STILL I can’t get the B-4-W program to work. It reads the server I know because the name of my blog comes up. But it can’t access the damn thing.

Yet it DOES work at my work computer.

So that’s how I’m posting this today. And if anybody from Blogger and/or Blogspot happens to be reading this and you understand how to fix a “#999 – request timed out or no server response” error code, PLEASE write me.

But do me a favour; please don’t suggest the following:
Removing and reloading BloggerforWord
Removing and reloading MSWord and/or Office Basic
Turning off my firewalls and trying it
Asking my ISP if there’s an issue with them.
Writing to Microsoft
Writing to the computer manufacturer
Writing to Blogspot and/or Blogger
Posting to the help sites for feedback
And EVERYONE’S favourite, “Google It!”

So, anyone got any new ideas?
