I really despise blog tools
I suddenly receieved an error while viewing my blog. It never happened before. Some sort of script error in line 78. So I took the code, put it in dreamweaver to find the line and there is nothing on line 78. OK, this sucks
So I look into Blogger's code. Somehow it could have been corrupted. Not sure how because I haven't updated the template in over six months. Nothing.
So I start from scratch around 9 p.m. I load a crappy Blogger template to get the original code.
It's 10 p.m. and I have it all updated with my template and design. Works great in IE 7 and Firefox.
I start adding the blogging tools. Went to Haloscan to get the comment code. Put it in, works fine.
Went to Feedburner to get the RSS code. Works great.
Then the Blogrolling code. Error.
First same error, but on a different line. This time it is on line 77. Of course IE doesn't give me any more info than that.
Fire up Firefox, it tells me that there is an error in the Blogrolling code. Take it out. Works great!
So seriously, what is wrong with these guys. First, they wouldn't update my blogroll. Then they don't update the order based on updates. And now I can't get it to load properly without errors.
I've had it. I am sick of blog tools that don't work and aren't meant for implementation in blogs other than cookie-cutter templates. I looked into WordPress blogs, but they all look the same. They can't be implemented into custom templates like the Blogger ones. Movable Type could work, but I don't want to deal with all of the coding. I don't have the time or the patience. Blogging is supposed to be easy--or so they say.
I feel like the Angry Video Game Nerd right now. (Warning, the video may be considered offensive.)
