Technical Difficulties With Blog Comments and Replies

I want to apologize to anyone who has left comments on any of my posts within the last few months. I don't always remember to "approve" them regularly, but a different issue has also cropped up....

Blogger is no longer allowing me to REPLY to comments, nor even post my own comments. If any of you have had similar issues and found a way to resolve them, please let me know. In the meantime, please understand that I would reply to comments if I was able. It is quite possible I will have to resurrect this blog on some other platform, though I would keep the current posts archived here. I welcome suggestions for other platforms besides WordPress, which I found not to be very intuititve for people who are not tech-savvy to begin with. Thank you.

EDIT: Strangely, I am able to answer comments if I use a different browser than Firefox. I am going to leave this post up if only to remind me to start using Edge as my browser when I moderate and reply to comments.

Computer Woes

I regret to inform my loyal readers here that I am having serious computer issues. I am writing this from my wife's machine, and plan to take my own computer to the repair shop ASAP. That might be Monday at the earliest, and how long they will need it I have no idea. Hoping my disk isn't bad, but it is a relatively "old" HP Premium Elite HPE I purchased back in....2010?

I've backed up all my edited images, documents, etc, but I have thousands of unedited photos that I don't have room to back up on my external hard drive. So, I will still be able to do some blogs in the future, even if I face the worst-case scenario. I just really hope that doesn't happen.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this trying period. I will not be posting for the immediate, foreseeable future, but have no plans to terminate the blog.
