Acting on a whim, I tried a new thing with Blogger/Google Chrome and the little darlings gave me a clue as to the root cause of my problem here on WordPress.
My caches and cookies had gone wild. So I cleared ‘em, and here we are.
Please ignore all my references to setting up a new journal and moving all my stuff over there. It looks as if we’re home and dry again, even if I do have to consult my little black book and re-enter all my passwords and such as I do my daily thing.
It’s a big relief… Panic over!
