I imagine I will pay for the first yr since it's reduced pricing and who knows maybe the price will come down if they don't get as many paying accounts as they need. The attacks on Voting rights is a HUGE threat to us all...we have to seriously fight back against this type corruption.

Ugh! We had to pay Google to keep our photos on our blog because we've been blogging since 2007 so there are tons and tons of photos. <br /><br />Trump needs to get out!!! I've never seen a President wreak havoc on the environment as fast as this man. Ohio went mostly red, but that is because of awful gerrymandering here. We so hope that abates in the future. There are a lot of really thoughtful, insightful young folks rising up so I have hope.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240950009652561116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-43046979674173167022018-11-09T20:45:13.465-05:002018-11-09T20:45:13.465-05:00I bet if they log in with a different browser they...I bet if they log in with a different browser they can comment...most of those problems is incompatible browser to the website...Some sites I can't get on at all with Chrome, but with Firefox Im in like Flynn! <br />YES the Election was a lesson in tolerance but I almost can't tolerate the evil on the right at the present time.

So Tuesday could have been better, but could have been worse. I hope Mueller tells us what he's got .... like right now. I'm sorry about Flikr -- I only belong so I can see a couple of people who only post on it, and I imagine they will quit. My photos are all just on my computer or the old ones are on a separate drive. and Picassa (which is just a mirror copy of my stored photos). I would be so sad if Blogger started charging because most everybody i know and love is on it and I would hate to see you disappear. I do know that both Typepad and Wordpress have free versions but it would be such a hassle to move . I have been having issues from some of my commenters and Typepad tells me it is not their fault. So I feel like I've already lost some of my followres because of that... I can't figiure out why they can't comment (one was able to get on to comment and two others let me know via email).

I know our UK politics have a great deal of their own issues right now (to say the least) but watching what's happening in the US is quite something!!<br /><br />I only received the email from Flickr yesterday regarding the changes, i've paid for a pro account for years but i've seen many with the same response to it all as you, it's dreadful how they're managing it.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-55832539889445665922018-11-08T11:16:19.850-05:002018-11-08T11:16:19.850-05:00Ugh, yeah I was pretty pissed when I saw the new F...Ugh, yeah I was pretty pissed when I saw the new Flickr deal. I also considered paying the 30% off price for a year till I decide what to do long-term. Haven't decided yet. Sigh.

I have an external drive that won't boot up! I have backed up many photos on CD and Thumb drives, and I do plan to use Google for my hosting now...and have started to move some of the most recent files over there also. My plan is not complete yet on what to do. <br />I am happy with the House being flipped, but that Senate is more vile than it was...SO Glad RYAN Is gone!!

I store all my photos this way. I use Google photos but copy the pictures I want to keep onto my hard drive. If Google start charging for web hosting then I would guess that many bloggers will call it a day.<br />Good news about the House of Representatives.

And your ...You are being screwed, plain and simple. And your final comment is spot on. Freedom of speech itself is threatened if access is effectively for only those with money and power. I was happy to see the Democrats regain control of the House last night, but they lost ground in the Senate and I was dearly hoping that Beto O’Rourke would clean smarmy Ted Cruz’s clock. He came close, but that doesn’t count does it?<br /><br /><br />David M.

But if they were to start charging for Blogger I guess I'm done. While like you it's very important to me as all my journeys are there. I do have a hand written journal but it just isn't the same or as well documented the picture I have saved on my computer and on thumb drives.

If you find a solution drop me a line to let me know what you found. Today my brain is spinning so maybe by the weekend I'll stop seeing double and be able to see what I can do about my photos. MY Blog is so important to me can't tell you how much I read back for important info. Also Can't afford to print the blog way TOO big!

I have 24,000 photos going back as far as 2009. I do not want them deleted. I do not think the price had to double, they are being greedy. I would not be surprised that Google starts charging for Blogger now. Enough of my rants, sorry. I hope you have a great day! eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.com
