Sunday’s Shining Star is still on hiatus and will be returning on September 18th.

I finally figured out what the problem was and am embarrassed to say what the problem was.
I have stated on many occasions that I am computer illiterate, yes, I admit it.  It took me this long to figure out that it was the label for blogger.  The little apostrophe in Sundays, that little red apostrophe would not be accepted as a character in the label box by blogger.  I don’t know why and I wish someone would explain it to me because I just don’t get it.  
I asked last week when Shining Star should resume, seeing that next Sunday is the 10 year 911 Anniversary, and I agree, it should be a day of remembrance.  If anyone would like to leave comments next Sunday, their thoughts, emotions, where they were, memories, etc, will be welcome.  I thought since we didn’t know each other 10 years ago, it would be nice to share.
And on a brighter note, today is a special day, which I can’t believe is here.  In 1997, when my oldest son started HS, he walked home from school with a friend.  They stopped at my house and Paul introduced me to his friend, we talked, they had snacks.  Ironically I had gone grocery shopping that day and there was a person, my age, bagging my groceries and we started talking.  It turned out to be Paul’s new friend’s Mom, who became my bff.  Ever since that day both families have been friends.  I take that back, the friendship is so close that we are more like family.  Today, he is getting married, I call him my 3rd son, my oldest son is in the wedding party and my youngest son drove home for the wedding.  We plan on taking many pictures, key word plan, and ope to share some with you.
Congratulations Georgie and Dina !!

Sunday’s Shining Star is still having technical problems due to blogger
Once again, blogger and photobucket are fighting.  And I am o frustrated.  I have tried everything.  I thought it might be that blogger wouldn’t accept the site where I create the frame from, so I tried just adding the blogger’s picture, and blogger also refused that.   I have contacted blogger regarding this issue but have not gotten a response.  Is anyone having this problem?
I try to draft my posts far in advance, especially for Guest Author showcases, in case real life interferes.  This way I don’t have to scramble at the last minute.  But I can’t even do that.  I can’t add author and or book images.  Another issue I can’t seem to do lately is “preview” a blog post or after I publish it, “view” it.
I am wondering if I should go to wordpress.  How much work is involved?  Has anyone made the switch?  Which do you prefer?  Or would owning my own domain help?
 
Over the past 2 weeks, I have wasted so much time trying  to work around these problems, trying different methods that I can think of, but being computer challenged makes it even harder.  I have also been having problems with google documents.  Would love to hear your thoughts, comments and/or any suggestions you may have because the panic is starting to kick in as the dates are getting closer for my agreed upon Author showcases.  (I would have inserted here an image of somebody panicking lol so you will have to use your imagination lol)

Sunday’s Shining Star will be off the air this week.
Due to technical difficulties with blogger, I was unable to post any images until Friday night.  I usually draft up my Sunday’s Shining Star post Tuesday, Wednesday the latest, to give the guest blogger enough notice that she will be the guest.  This way, if it is not convenient, I have time to draft and showcase another blogger.  Giving the guest 2 days notice didn’t seem right.
Hopefully the glitches have been fixed and Sunday’s Shining Star will return next week.  Have a great day everyone!
