It's basic, I haven't had time to play around with it yet, but it's a hell of a lot easier to work with than blogger.com.

Hey Annemarie, sshhhhh, I think they've gone. We've got this place all to ourselves now.
Wait a minute, let me down another beer . . . . . .
BUSTED!
Malibu? Is there anybody still here? That new blog looks dandy except after exactly one second on screen it crashes my computer. It seems to be anti-Apple, and won't work with Safari. Please don't leave me.
I'll still hang wichyoo, VB.
Wha'cha doing later? Wanna down some longnecks together?
Oh, VB-M, that sucks! We won't leave ya, I promise.
Let me tell you a quick story to cheer you up. Dane got out of bed 2 hours after bedtime last night, and asked me to get him a box of Stayfree. I thought he was either sleepwalking/talking, or I was hallucinating, so I asked him to repeat it. Yep, he again asked for a box of Stayfree. I asked why, and he said 'because the ad says it helps you get a good nights sleep, and I keep tossing and turning and can't get to sleep'.
I got him back into bed and then laughed til I cried.
Typical: Ben smells a chance to intimately get together with me now that everybody else is on the new blog, then it turns out everybody else is merrily blogging back to him - including the far and away VB! - and I'm barging in last, wondering who switched the lights back on.
Well, the good noos is, ddeebb has been spotted on the TGA Mates blog! And until VB gets a real computer (duh), I too shall be hopping back and forth between sites.
Ehm, Malibu, what's a box of Stayfree? My joke sensor indicates something like sanitary towels, but tell me anyway, just for cultural enlightenment.
Yes, AM, they are, cough, feminine hygiene products. AKA surfboards.
VB Misser, I don't mean to be rude (this time), but I run a website and my analytics software tells me that roughly 3.17% of my visitors use Safari for their browser. (Bless their cotton socks).
Would it be allowable for you to bung a Firefox or Internet Explorer browser onto your computer?? Or is that against your religion?
"Bless their cotton socks". Benny, you're hilarious!
Ah Malibu, that is brilliant. Definitely cheered me up - and nice boot in face of twee-ad Stayfree too. Fantastic.
Er Benny I just use what came with my computer, am a total total total non tech head which is why I got an Apple - you don't have to know anything with an Apple, that is my motto. So, I can just buy something called Firefox and the website will work? I am already rejoicing, not to mention blessing Firefox's cotton socks. What is it with these alpha male internet names anyway. "Mate, I'm goin' on Safari" "We got Firefox, bastards won't know what's hit them."
Anyway, thank you! Was feeling guilty about making everyone hang around on trusty old Mos Missers. But if trusty old Mos Missers doesn't work for heaps of people but does for me, is it not working because those people are using Firefox and Internet Explorer and I'm not?
I had no idea all this kind of stuff went on with browsers. See, I have learned about cars, now I am learning about computers. Next week, birds of West Africa.
VB, I have the same approach to computers: you use what's on them and don't ask questions. What I do know though, is that I don't have Firefox, and the way I know is that I've seen it on other people's computers and mine doesn't have that thingy on the desktop that says Godzilla or something (Ben?). But I have no trouble with the TGA-Mates blog despite the lack of Firefox (and Safari, whatever that is), as can be witnessed by the fact that virtually every stupid comment on there comes from me. Okay, and from Benny. I do, however, have a real computer and Internet Explorer, which would account for the easy access.
Right, after all this helpful information it's time for me to try and continue working. Bleh. It's just too hot, and I'm not even wearing my cotton socks.
VB Misser, it gets even better.
You don't need to buy anything, it's a free download on the internet.
My site is probably fairly typical for an Aussie website, 71% of my visitors use Internet Explorer (Microsoft), 26% use Firefox, and 3% use Safari.
Now although I have problems with Steve Jobs, I know a lot of people have issues with Bill Gates and Microsofts's virtual monopoly.
So I will direct you, slowly and gently, to a wonderful company called (wait for the Alpha male name), Mozilla. These guys produce Firefox and they'd just LOVE you to download it at....
www.mozilla.com/firefox
When you go to that site, you should click on the bit that says, other systems and languages. Thats for you English types, er I mean Apple types.
Ohhhh, so glad I can be of assistance to somebody, after doing little more than ruffling feathers here and on MOS for a year now.
Please, let me know how you get on.
Anyways, VB, you're better off here. I can't wait till they get rid of that horrible background over at the other site.
Ooooohhhh, too pissed to read that word. Didn't someone say to read it sideways??? Here goes. . . .
It worked! Thank you Ben! I cannot believe it. I am Firefoxy, I am the stampeding Mozilla. Wooo.
Where are you, VB-M? We miss you! Are you checking in here, coz you can't get onto the other one again?
