No new post today -- just a list of old baseball posts

Bee won't be impressed with me.

Well, it's OK, because I'm not impressed with Blogger. I was trying to put up a new list of old posts in the Sidebar -- seasonal stuff, the U.S. baseball season having officially begun today, albeit in Japan.

I made my list properly -- the printing of this post will establish that. But, unfortunately, instead of removing the Christmas links from the sidebar, I got this error message over and over:

When reporting this error to Blogger Support or on the Blogger Help Group, please:

  • Describe what you were doing when you got this error.
  • Provide the following error code and additional information.

Now, having recommended a report to Blogger Support or Blogger Help, one might think that there would be some email or other means of reporting the problem.

But no!

At most one is invited to join a group -- another group! -- and have random people (some of whom may be as ignorant as me -- or even more ignorant -- I kind of hope, actually, that this may be possible) venture their suggestions.

I suspect that the real problem is that Blogger is rolling out a new interface. I've seen reference to this on my other blogs that you don't know about. I've not seen it here because I never did adopt the then-new and now-to-be-abandoned format for this blog.

But... in case someone (not you, Bee, I know) is interested, herewith a list of baseball-related posts from the Second Effort Archives....

    I don't know much baseball, but maybe you should ditch blogger and try Wordpress.

    My oldest played in majors last year. My youngest (4) is playing T-Ball this year. The Little League leaning curve is shocking to me, I forgot all about this level of play.
