What happened to blogging in 2011?

Okay, so it is fair to say that blogging was not my top priority in 2011. There - I've said it. To many people, my lack of blogging is criminal, unthinkable, and inexcusable. But for me it was, well... inevitable. Why? Because my humble little business, The Letterbug, took off! Yes, I was tip-tapping away on my computer keys like a crazy woman throughout 2011. It was fabulous!

Whilst I probably should have found time for blogging, I just didn't.

And I blame paragraph breaks. And I blame Blogger. Something happened to Blogger which made it almost impossible for me to publish anything. I would compose a post, add images, and have everything looking pretty. With glee I would then go ahead and click 'Publish', only to find that ALL formatting had vanished, and all I was left with was one solid, nasty, block of text. I would then, of course, curse and swifly remove the post and return it to 'draft' status.

Anyone who has a blog will know just how time consuming blogging can be. And anyone who has a computer knows just how frustrating computers can be. There was a good chance that I would have launched my laptop into outer space if I wasted yet another evening trying to iron out this formatting issue. So instead I just stopped blogging. For almost a whole year.

Wow!

Recently I have found so many inspiring blogs, and have really enjoyed rediscovering the blogisphere. So here I am. I'm still bewildered by how to get the paragraph breaks how I want them in Blogger, but a bit of Googling and a few html codes seem to have me up and running again.

Please be patient with my weirdo spacing, if and when it occurs. Just know that I am doing my darnedest to get it right!

Here's to issue-free blogging in 2012 - hooray!
