Blogger update

This morning blogger is up and working. I am not counting on it continuing to do so. THANK YOU to those of you who gave me insights into what I can do. I think I can use a proxy server of some sort to get around the issue. I do NOT want to switch to a new host. For one thing, that host could end up going in the same direction. And for another, having my blog in one place is part of the "specialness" of it to me. I'll keep you updated. Thank you Gabbi for your help -- I may be using you again the future.
