Then I posted an item about Donald Trump&#8217;s plan to stage a military parade on July 4. I don&#8217;t like the idea and said so. Except that my post didn&#8217;t see daylight.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because the Word Press platform on which I post these blogs failed to function properly. I lost my ability to &#8220;publicize&#8221; my entries.<\/p>\n<p>I was so mad I could spit.<\/p>\n<p>I called the hosting company I use to manage my blog &#8220;domain.&#8221; A young man walked me through the process of &#8220;restoring&#8221; my blog. I hedged, balked and said I&#8217;d call him back.<\/p>\n<p>Then I turned to another expert, a young man with whom I am quite close: my son. He was busy at home and said he&#8217;d call back.<\/p>\n<p>I then called the tech support outfit back, got another young man on the phone, told him my problem, he troubleshot it, then fixed it.<\/p>\n<p>One little problem. All the text I had posted over the past 24 hours was wiped out. Gone. Pfftt. Vaporized.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t repost this stuff that I lost. I&#8217;m just using this little episode to express my frustration and my gratitude for getting my blog back up and running.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I do love writing this blog. The technology is great \u2026 when it works properly. When it doesn&#8217;t it, um, is a pain in the posterior.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m marching on.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=retirement%20%23blogging%20%23HighPlainsBlogger&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get along mostly just fine with this blogging technology I am learning how to navigate.
