Tech Challenged I Am

I had a blog of our weekend in the mountains written.

Blogger would not post it.

I am a “400 BAD USER”. Whatever that means.

I am not tech savvy at all:(

Until this is all fixed I can only post one or two images and very brief posts.

This plant belongs to the sweet lady who colors and cuts my hair.

I thought it would make an interesting photo.

I used Boost effect in Picnik to brighten the colors.

Do any of you know how to remedy “400 BAD USER?”

I did go into the Help section of Blogger and maybe changing my server will do it.

Really it was not very helpful.

  1. Olive - I don't care what Google say - I think you're very nice. I love your blog and you post brilliant pictures! Perhaps Google are having a bad day because Amy (over at That Amy Saia) has been having probs with her blog site too!

  4. Wow, what a weird error message. I hate when they sound judgmental. I hope customer service gets back to you fast.

    Nice color enhancement job, by the way. That's frameable.

  6. Olive, I think there must be something going on with certain blogs and yours must be one of them. I was reading Chania's blog Razmataz and she was having issues too, not sure if she got the same error though.

    Your plant photo is lovely and I hope you are able to get things sorted out quickly!

  9. Oh, you are not a bad user! I have a feeling it is just a temporary glitch with Blogger. Those kind of things seem to happen frequently.

  10. I love that boost effect. Did the lady think you were strange for taking a photo of her houseplant though? My husband laughs at the "weird" things I take shots of.

  11. Stupid Blogger. Why can;t they have a phone in help line. Took me 3 days to sort out my "full photo" thing.

  12. Olive,
    I myself am technologically impaired, so I can empathize with the frustration!
    But I'm glad you can at least kinda sorta post after a fashion, even if it's not really what you'd like to post!

  13. It's just a glitch. Next time, wait a second or two and reload them. It will work fine. Hugs. Tammy

  15. Sorry Olive I am useless...it took me two days just to get my blog header and new background right/ Cool plant. I just started playing around on Piknic...I love it.

  16. Blogger can be frustrating at times. I know some smart savvy technological blogger out there can help....I don't qualify in that department.
    Beautiful colors on your photo!

  23. Fabulous color Olive! Love the "boost" effect on picnic too...not sure about that "bad user" message, but didn't seem to stop you from creating this great photo:) Thanks for sharing!

  24. Olive, To eliminate Blogger issues, I use Windows Live Writer to post. It gives me more versatility and options than Blogger does and I've used it for a year and a half. I only use Blogger's dashboard to change or add to my sidebar items. Check out Writer- there are a lot of us who use it! Hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. ~ Sue
