Hold On There!

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Yesterday Ol' Groove started getting complaints, farewell letters, and all kinds of other bummer types of messages. "Groove, you changed the way the pics are displayed!" "Groove this new way of displaying pics SUCKS!" Well, I agree with ya (well, all except the gettin' out of Groove City part). I HATE the way pics are being displayed.

So, then, why the change? Ol' Groove is gonna level with ya. I didn't change it. Blogger/Google in its infinite wisdom decided the slideshow gimmick was kewl and foisted it upon all of us. Didn't ask if we wanted it. Didn't warn us it was going to happen. Didn't give us a choice as to whether or not we wanted it. Just popped up in the middle of the night.

I feel like my blog has been burglarized.

I work hard on the look and design of my blog. I pick and choose the elements that go in or stay out. I don't appreciate what Blogger/Google has done, either, Groove-ophiles. As much as you hate it, I hate it more.

Many of us have griped and complained to Blogger, only to get a "form-letter" style response. I dunno what's going to happen. All I know is if I can't control my own blog at Blogger, I'll be movin' on to another host.

Stay tuned. Meantime, you can right-click the images to get them to pop up in their own window. Unless they've screwed that up in the past five minutes.

Sorry for the rant, Groove-ophiles. I hate to be negative here at the Diversions, but when "Big Brother" messes up our playground, Ol' Groove gets kinda angry.

Hang in there, baby!
