~LE LAPIN SACHET~
Sweet for Spring
For the past several days, nearly a week now, my FOLLOWERS GADGET on my sidebar has been MIA! I figured it's sudden departure must have had something to do with the GOOGLE FRIENDS CONNECT THINGY being changed and so I TRIED to be patient while the POWERS THAT BE fixed whatever was causing the problem.

--Can You Spot The Mistake?--
{ARGH!}
Most of the Blogs I visit showed their FOLLOWERS GADGET in place, but there were a few that had big empty spaces where their GADGETS were suppose to be. Sooo....I emailed one of my friends, Miss Mariette from Mariette's Back to Basics and asked her if she was having trouble too! She was! And like me she had spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what was going on!
Miss M is so lovely and encouraged me to continue to be patient while things were sorted out in blogland.
~HOW ABOUT NOW?~
--Bolangerie? Nope...Boulangerie!--
{drats!}
Well...PATIENCE is NOT one of my strong points.
(Neither is French Spelling!!!!!)
Seriously.
It's not.
I want things done like, um...yesterday!
(or the day before)
~SWEET IRISH LACE~
Still...I TRIED to be a good, calm girl and not do what I wanted to do which was
FREAK OUT!
And so I waited.
And waited.
And WAITED!
FOR SEVEN DAYS I WAITED!!!
Still NOTHING!

(ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!)

Along with my FOLLOWERS GADGET missing there were other problems, too!
Like:
1. My Dashboard said I wasn't following ANY blogs!
2. The FOLLOW link at the top of my blog wasn't working.
3. The FOLLOW link on my Blog Page wasn't working.
4. The Comment button worked only sporadically.
5. My Google Reader was on the blitz...
AND
6. My last three posts kept disappearing from my page!
WHAT?
I wanted to SCREAM for my HERO
(aka: Mr. AGPMan)
to come and save me fix WHATEVER the problem was, but he's studying for finals and I didn't want to disturb him.
(Gee...my compassionate side must have momentarily kicked in while I was pulling my hair out and gnashing my teeth.)
So...after posting my situation on BLOGGER HELP and getting absolutely NO RESPONSE I decided to try something ON MY OWN! After digging around and trying several things I finally found something that worked and POOF my FOLLOWERS GADGET and all the other problems were INSTANTLY FIXED!
(WHOOT! WHOOT! Happy Dance Time!)
~HERE'S WHAT YOU DO~
1. Go to the SETTINGS TAB on your Dashboard
2. Make a teensy tiny change to your blog domain name, enter the security words and hit save.
(my blog domain name is
Rebecca-gatheryeroses.blogspot.com
and all I did was place an extra "a" after Rebecca {Rebeccaa} to keep the change simple!)
3. Enter your new address in your search bar (your old links won't work yet) and check to see if the faces of all your fabulous, gorgeous, beautiful peeps are back!
(They should be!)
4. Log out.
5. Now...go back and LOG ON again. Go into the SETTINGS TAB a second time on your dashboard and change your blogger domain name BACK to it's original name!
6. Go check your blog again. Everything SHOULD be back to normal!
YEAH!!!
Hope your day is yippy-skippy wonderful.
I'm off for a mani-pedi this morning and despite the rainy forecast for Oklahoma
I'm going JUNKING!
And then...
When. I. Get. Home.
I'm going REMOVE that pocket
on my messed-up Apron
and put the corrected one
in it's place!
Love to you...
