Bloggspot.com causes changes to this website

Despite some misguided belief, I am NOT a computer and technology master. For close to a decade, I have used Blogger to host this site. It was free, SUPER easy to use...basically, Posting For Dummies. Then a corporate genius decided things had to change, after all, the "legacy platform" for a decade old. BUT IT WORKED!!!! User have been told for months that the change was coming, but we could still use 'legacy Blogger.' That, apparently, was until about 3 a.m. Wednesday. The 'new Blogger' is the default. It sucks. It's awful and it has made posting a challenge. Posting pictures is particularly troubling. I'm not asking for tech suggestions on new platforms...I'm simply too tired for that. This site will continue to operate, free of charge and advertisements, but I fear some of the content may be changed. I've spent the entire morning reading reviews about the new Blogger. In fact, the feedback icon doesn't even work! One angry adult said, regarding a statement from Blogger about the new modern changes, "was this written by a high school student?" Half of the features have disappeared. I mean, seriously, the feedback button doesn't work? My fingers are crossed that the mega gazillion dollar (yes, I know that's not real)  company will figure it out. Until they do, please have some patience.
