Formatting problems

Something has gone haywire with the formatting of the posts. I made no changes, but suddenly the margins of all my posts go beyond the space allotted for text.

Is it Blogger, or my computer? Do you see the problem, too?

Problems with blogger

It won't load any of my photos. I'm giving up for tonight. Headless dog walkers coming up, as soon as Blogger decides to behave.

Rambling post, with lost monkey

It's been a bookish couple of days. I finished the Terry Pratchett book my grand-daughter brought me, got a few hours sleep, and then we went to one of our favourite second-hand book stores, Renaissance Books, where I bought another DiscWorld book. Thief of Time. I had forgotten reading it, until I was half-way through the first chapter, but these are always re-readable and thought-provoking; I finished it last night.

On that same outing, we dropped into Black Bond Books at the mall, where I picked up a good Rocks and Minerals guide; the one we had here was so old that the price on the cover was 60 cents (1955). Today's version cost me 15 times that.

And then I spent the better part of my so-called "sleeping" hours reading that. I learned a few things I should have realized years ago; I'll be writing about them soon.

And now, where was I before I got side-tracked?

Boundary Bay, while it wasn't actually raining. Besides fog and peeps, there were also (back on shore) mushrooms and other delights:

Cladonia lichen on rotting fence.

Same fence, same species, but in a different stage. Leafy cladonia.

On a wet driftwood log, there were three pink mushrooms. I can't remember seeing these before.

Next log over. Orange jelly balls. I haven't noticed those little greyish buttons on the lights streak just above them. I wonder if they're another stage in the orange jelly life, or something else altogether. So many mysteries in the 'shroom families!

Not a mushroom. This little guy was sitting damply on a blackened stump by the roadside. I hope his owner found him before he turned moldy.

And another mystery: about Blogger and photos. I resize all the photos to the same size and pixels per inch before I load them to Blogspot. Sometimes when I click on the photo, it takes me to a copy the same size as the blog post display. Sometimes, it gives me a humongous pixel-by-pixel photo, and sometimes about three-quarters of a screen. Deleting the photo and re-loading sometimes helps, but not always. In this post, I get all three sizes out of identically-sized photos, even though I re-loaded two of the smaller samples. Why? Does anyone understand this?

Or maybe it only happens on my computer. Does it work that way on yours?

Blogger's only human ...

It's not working. It refuses to load photos, whatever I do. I'll try again in the morning.

Goodnight!

(I'm wondering if it will even post this.)

Can you see this?

I've just been notified that this blog gives a 403 error; Access denied, both from Firefox and Safari, on a Mac. Obviously, if you're reading this, you weren't locked out.

I haven't done anything to cause this; I hope it's a temporary Blogger glitch. But I'd appreciate it if you left a comment, saying you can read this, and what browser you're using.

Thanks so much!

*UPDATE: Looks like it's fixed, whatever it was. Back to crabs!

Blogger swallowed my post

I should have saved it first.

Patience ...

Mossy truck. Not a typo.

Yesterday, driving home from Abbotsford the long way round, we passed this truck:

The green is not paint.

Molds, lichen, moss. Have you ever seen a mossy truck before?

There were moments, today, when I was comparing Blogger to this truck. Not favourably. However, I think all is well, except that now I have to re-do my blogrolls.

And thanks! to all who gave ideas and sympathy.

Still working on those problems ...

The grey line is still there. And Island Walks tells me that the blog has been slow loading recently.

So I've temporarily removed some of the links to other pages, including my blogrolls, to see if that helps. Sorry about that; I'll get them back A.S.A.P.

Back to the innards, looking around for grey lines ...

Problems with Blogger

Blogger seems to have gone haywire. At least on this blog.

Are you getting a long grey line stretching vertically through all the posts? I am. And only on my blog, as far as I can tell.

If you don't see it, tell me, please. (Or if you do, and it's doing anything else weird.)

I'll be back as soon as I've sorted this out.
