Techno-Block

A few posts back I wrote about creativity blocks, and today I'm writing to kvetch a bit about "techno-block", the reason I haven't written for a while.
I enthusiastically looked into the new design possibilities here in Blogger, and decided to take a leap. I switched the format of this blog to a spiffy and colorful format. But when I clicked the bookmark I usually use to write new posts, I saw that the blog, in the new format, was still opening to an old post featuring my photo with my dear friend Morrie Turner. Why is it still doing that, I wondered. Next I tried going to the Dashboard to make a new post, but I couldn't access the Dashboard.  So I went to the Blogger website, went through the questions forum, scrolled the pictures of Google Blogger employees having fun at a recent conference, and perused the sidebar of subjects that had nothing to do with my problem. What I hoped to find was a Help link. No luck.
Frankly, I'm not even sure how I got to this place where I was able to revert the format (I think) to the old pattern. So, not every block in creativity is in one's head, and the most important element of success in such cases is perseverance! Stay tuned, I am bound to be victorious, and hope to create some interesting new posts in the near future.
I had some very good feedback regarding the creativity block material, if you have a topic or question you'd like to see here, please let me know. I'd love to hear from readers.   Thanks!
