100th birthday party post under construction, but am experiencing technical problems with Squarespace, the host for this blog

Folks, if any of you come back looking for Hannah's 100th birthday party before I can successfully post it, please know that I am working on it. Unfortunately, although it comes with very nice possibilities, this online Squarespace program that I am using to host this blog can also be a glitch-filled nightmare.

Tonight it is a nightmare. As I would have done any other night, I placed three of the birthday photos, along with text, in the entry that is supposed to be here. On pictures two and three, I had to repeat the final placement action two or three times, but I did succeed.

Then, on the fourth photo, no matter how many times I tried, the online program would not complete the action. It is the same final action that was necessary to place all the photos that appear elsewhere in this blog. I spent close to half-an-hour trying to place that photo alone. I closed and restarted the program - all to no avail. As there are several more photos left to place and I simply cannot keep wasting this kind of time, I had to stop. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe it will work better then.

The frustrating thing is, I keep another blog on Google's blogspot, which is 100 percent free, and I never encounter the kind of glitches that I do on this one, which I pay for. As I have begun this blog here, and the pictures display a bit larger, and the program, once I master it, and if Squarespace works these horrible glitches out of it, seems to have more potential, I want to keep it here.

But I might give up, and move it elsewhere if these kind of problems persist. 

Anyway, come back Wednesday night or Thursday and see if I have been able to finish the post.
