Phew! A week or so ago, I’d posted that I had mostly got my head round the imminent techy changes at Google, that meant my Blogs would have to be physically ‘moved’. This was due to some behind-the-scenes changes in the way Blogger manages the uploading of some users’ blogs (including mine).
I like writing my Blogs (and I do have a few readers!), and the thought of the transfer not working properly (and there were a some reports on-line that some transfers hadn’t worked!), was unthinkable – seven years of writing, floating about in the ether somewhere!
Anyway, stage 1 went very smoothly, but left me with a rather unfriendly blog address of https://palmer-steve.blogspot.com – yuk!
So, with a bit of advice from techy-guru Rick at Google and some more tweaking behind the scenes by my web-host, I’m pleased to say that my Blog address is now much more memorable, and a tad more friendly too – and it only took about a nano-second for Google to do the final ‘conversion/transfer of the data’! A massive relief therefore at this end!!

So, if you read my Blogs through FaceBook, then as far as I know, nothing changes – keep doing that – but if not, the above url should be easier to remember.
Don’t you just love technology!!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
