Update: Apparently the glitch is fixed as of 7.12.7, and none too soon!
First, I was unable to leave comments on other Blogger blogs unless I held my breath, swung a dead cat three times over my head during a full moon on the third Thursday if it didn't rain and the temperature was above 77 degrees F, but only if I hadn't eaten brown beans for dinner.
One false toot could ruin the whole thing.
And I still suffer from that malaise. Not the tooting thing, but the inability to leave comments on Blogger blogs unless the utmost care is taken to gently tap the keys just so as I enter Commentdom. Otherwise all kinds of stuff breaks loose.
Now another blight has overtaken Blogger. I am unable to use the title field at all. For any reason. Zero use of the title field is mine. None. Nada.
Do you think Blogger is telling me it's time to move on?
Yes, I've tried rebooting. Yes, I've tried deleting the post and starting over. Yes, I've tried yelling at it. Yes, I've tried plying it with Sangria and cheese. Yes, I have threatened it with extinction.
None of the above seem to have worked.
So m'dears, methinks my time at Blogger is limited at best. If you would be able to suggest a good/better/best alternative, please do so in the comments. Bear in mind the cost should be minimal, the service should be great, and above all, I (as the Queen of All I Blog) should be Most Happy Indeed.
I anxiously await the opinions of Blogdom.
Your humble servant....

Even though I am a big fan of Squarespace ($7/month) I know you're looking for FREE so let me suggest Wordpress. It's where a lot of other bloggers go when they tire of Blogspot's ridiculous charade of web hosting brings them down.
But, if you decide to shell out the big bucks, let me know and I'll walk you through why I love Squarespace.
Just keep in mind that you still won't be able to get Blogspot's comments to work when you visit other bloggers so keep that Sangria on hand for yourself.
I had a problem with the title thing too. I had to click just below the box in the end (moments before I reached for an axe), which I discovered after manically clicking the mouse all over the place. It is driving me crackers too.
Can't make any suggestions. I've only ever worked with blogger. Good luck
I've heard Wordpress is lovely, and you can easily design your own template. That savings alone should buy a lot of Sangria.
