Sidebar Problem Resolved

I was having a problem with the sidebar being moved to the bottom of the page.

I eventually found The Real Blogger Status: What Blogger Won't Tell You. This site is excellent and guided me to a solution. Anyone having a problem with Blogger should make this their first resort.

My problem was in one post (Comrade Durova's Response). I deleted the image (which was the problem) and everything worked again.

This was a quick fix but The Real Blogger has more permanent solutions that I will implement shortly.

Lack of Posts

I have not been around in a while. I have a major learning curve to navigate = MYSQL and PHP. More another time.

New Blogger Layout No Good for Personal Hosters

One might say that this post is biting the hand that feeds it but the main advantage of the new blogger accounts seems to be the layout tool. This appears not to work unless you host your site at blogger and and the layout tool does not provide sufficient added value to make the change from hosting at a personal website (for those of us who like the comfort of that) worthwhile.

"The new drag-and-drop template feature, Layouts, is not available for blogs published via FTP. Update, 12/18: Because Layouts relies heavily on new Blogger’s dynamic serving of pages, this is unlikely to be supported soon if ever."

Please note the words "if ever."
