Wow! I am so honored to be a part of your subscribed blogs! Thank you for linking my site, I’m speechless, and I apologize that my example to the point you were making…well it could have been, ummmm, a little less vicious.
Although I’m annoyed with the changes that Blog City has made with their latest version, I’m sure at some point I’ll figure it all out. The main reason behind the ranting on my site about Blog City’s new version came from me logging into the site to make a couple of minor changes to the layout, add a couple of links to the site and, once logged in, everything I knew how to do was gone. I didn’t want to spend any length of time right then trying to figure it out. But, because Blog City felt the need to reinvent the wheel it looks as if my desired layout changes will happen at another time.
A portion of my day at work is spent repairing various pieces of I.T. equipment because, for some strange reason, our (out-of-state) corporate office found it necessary to fill our building with new computers, printers, fax machines, handheld scanners, various gadgets, etc…not to mention our POS system.
But, corporate failed to go a step further and figure out how the equipment would be maintained & taken care of. A Help Desk located 1600 miles away can only do so much. At some point, and you know how true this is, someone in the building is going to tinker around and mess something up. Or, a series of unfortunate events will occur booting us off the network causing major chaos & disorder to an organization that has no offically trained/educated I.T. personnel on site. I’ve spent the past couple/few years, by the seat of my pants, being that person.
I’ve learned a great deal over the past couple of years but one thing is true more than any of it—when I get home and want to sign into my weblog, the last thing I want to do is feel like I’m back at work
Thanks again, I truly appreciate it.
