What a Busy Day!

It's been a wild day. I can't even remember the morning, but I think I was busy with FB promotion groups. In tghe afternoon I started paying bills online. That took about an hour. Then I started writing a blog post. To take a break, I thought I'd check my email. Yahoo said my session had expired and I'd have to log in again. Then they wouldn't except my password and I had to get a new one. But unlike many other companies, they insisted on sending me a verification to an email address I have to open in my least favorite browser. When I went there to prove I was the owner of it, they made me get a text message from my only cell phone, which is not a smart phone. So what do they do? They send me a link to click, and I can't get on the internet from my cell phone. But by some miracle, I managed to get my password changed anyhow. What a pain just to see my email! After dinner I finished writing my post which turned out to be quite long. I made two graphics for it. I made them on PicMoney. I used photos for the other images. I was going to share one of the graphics that I made and liked, but I'm not sure if I can share anything but photos here. It will be interesting to see if there are any comments on the blog. I will post it tomorrow on my personal Facebook page. I'm also going to be daring enough to post it on my business page, even though it's a bit political. It's on the importance of local elections, but I do share which candidates I'm supporting locally and why. It's a local blog, but most of my followers aren't local. We'll see what happens. Chances are it will be ignored, like most other posts I make.

Our life seems ruled by passwords in our days, this is something I hate.

Sometimes I feel like unplugging and going back to the 1980's when I had no internet and spent my life taking care of a house, garden, and family, with extra time to read and write to friends. Of course, if I did that, I'd not be able to earn anything.

@bagarad I like to make money online, but there are days that I would love to go back in time when I still had no computers.

@LadyDuck Exactly. I haven't been outside my door for more than two hours in the past two days. I spend about twelve hours yesterday getting a new site set up.

Cool, it appears that you are a full times blogger, what is your niche? Where are you hosting your blog? Maybe you can message me your blog address?

@bagarad Wow!! So many options indeed! I'm in the process of finding my niche, particularly, I feel I'm more inclined to Writing and Self help. So, if you can send me your blogs in that category, it will be helpful!

OK. I have about nine blogs and started two more today, but I've only had time to set one of them up and post to it. I don't have any blogs on tech or gaming. Most are on writing, nature, gardening, books, and education. The new one is on solving the problems of aging. Which would you be most interested in? I hav emost blogs at GoDaddy, two on Blogger, and the three, my main book site and my two new blogs are on Siteground. Three are still at BlogJob.

I forgot. I also have two blogs about California places with lots of photos, once of which is about my local area.

It was a busy day until about 3 am. I hope today won't be as long, since I'm not writing any blog posts.

I hate it when sites won't accept passwords. Thankfully when I've had problems with email passwords its always been a glitch which has sorted itself out eventually. I can't even imagine the trouble I'd have trying to reset mine because my email is on the same account as my internet service and I don't think I'd be able to get online at all if I changed that.

I think we can thank the hackers for all these now security measures we now have to tolerate. It's a pain.

@bagarad I'm sure you're right about that. Criminals are ruining things for honest people everywhere though, not just online. I saw a huge increase in security at a local supermarket yesterday, with security staff double checking everyone's purchases with a scanner. That was a huge shock.

They are really simple, mostly words, except for the gorilla from Pixabay. I think I can only post links to original work here.

I hate it when passwords stuff up. I'm having trouble at the moment with my blog. Luckily I have an IT savvy son and he is helping me.

I didn't realize you had a blog. I'm going to check it out.

@bagarad Is this the blog you have listed in your profile? I didn't' see anything posted after 2011. I like what you did write. Is there some other blog?

@bagarad No, that's the only blog. I really must get it sorted and do something with it.
