2nd attempt... I got reports that the bottom picture showing the cattle aisle was not loading for folks accessing the blog by way of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. There are a number of conflicts with “blog” software and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Ever wonder why so many blogs suggest that the site be accessed by Mozilla Firefox?

But what further exacerbates the challenge is that 67 percent of everyone surfing the net, does so with Internet Explorer.

Meanwhile both pictures came up fine in Mozilla Firefox. A superior internet browser that Microsoft is loathe to recognize even exists. (On a related subject - I’m told that the next version of Microsoft Windows operating system, “Vista,” is NOT going to recognize Adobe PDF. Microsoft will be coming out with its own version… Now won’t that be special?)

So I attempted to simply re-load the picture – which often solves the problem.

Why, I haven’t a clue. It’s like the old joke as to how a software programmer repairs a car. By getting out of the car and getting back in again…

Soooo, much earlier this morning, I attempted to reload the picture. At first I was not able to reload the picture.

This is a frequent challenge with the “Blogger platform” I use for this blog. After I finally got the picture reloaded, then I had trouble (re)publishing the post… Another frequent problem with the blogger platform.

Ever wonder why some days there are few if any posts on the blog? Well some days I simply cannot get a post and/or a picture loaded on Blogger.

But this morning, I ran across another interesting problem. Sometimes when I cannot get a reworked post to republish, the only way to do it is to completely delete the post and start all over again.

I tried that. Well, if you scroll down, you may still see the post: “20060802 KDDC Shipley Arena Floor.”

It reminds me of Microsoft… It has been deleted but it is still there. Oh well.

Hope you are having a good day. I walked away from this blog many hours ago, in attempt to maintain what shriveled sense of sanity I still maintain. I’m told the twitching will stop soon.

A moment ago, I tried again and now I am able to load both pictures… Let’s see if it publishes?
