To our readers:  We feel it necessary to explain that as Blogspot/Google offers more services, it seems that we have more problems.  If you notice incidental typos, spelling errors (ie. Lewis Carroll - we have now corrected.), it is because we are having to constantly trick Blogspot ~ going 'round 'n 'round in order to enter text or edit.  To enter text, we have to upload a photograph, remove, then type!  Once exited, good luck ~ cannot re-enter.  Our appeals to "Blogspot Help"  are less and less businesslike as the frustration grows.
