I am hoping someone in the "land of blog" can help me with this. Normally my Reading list on my dashboard looks like this...... (sorry for the blurred pictures)
Well, a few days ago I was looking at the new interface blogger is working on (trying to become familiar with it), and when I went back to the old interface, this is the way is came back and I have "no clue" how to correct it back to the original old format. I really don't care for this look.....
This happened on my laptop that has windows 7, using firefox . I am guessing it has something to do with windows 7 and/or firefox, as it looks ok if I go in under IE. I checked it on another computer that has Vista, same version of firefox, and it is showing up ok .I would really like to get the format changed back like this.....
I have worked on this with no luck at all. I also, noticed some of my settings got changed back to an earlier time also and got that corrected. Any help sure would be appreciated.One thing accomplished: I finally took the time and finished cleaning out all the magazines - only 3 left in the house (actually one of those is a catalog ) and those are current issues. I have let all subscriptions expire except 2 and may not renew one of them when it comes up for renewal.
Good Grief ! Recently I went back looking for a post I did a while back, and in doing so could not believe how many typing errors I spotted. I use to be good at proof reading checking for spelling and typing errors. Years ago, the head of the department where I worked often brought things to me to look over before sending them out, as she knew I could spot things like that a mile away. I am really slipping now days.
Have things I need to get done, and here I sit messing with this computer stuff.
Just another Dab of This and That.
Have a good week!

Sure wish I could help you, Glenda. I have no clue. Hopefully, someone will come to the rescue!
blogger is having issues... I just posted about my issues today. I tried the new interface, didn't like it, then changed it back. Had no issues and everything still looks the same. Weird how things look differently on different browsers and computere, isn't it? good luck to both of us!
Soory to hear about the Blogger blues, I have them, too, on a regular basis! I've stayed away from the new interface but I guess eventually I'll have to go there.....
Hi Glenda
I don't use my dashboard for looking at the blogs. I go to googlereader.com and sign in under my google account and all the blogs that I follow or subscribe to are there and they look you want them to lookin in your second screen shot. If you want to then comment, just click on that post and it takes you to the blog.
Not sure if this helps or not.

Glenda, there are so many changes going on right now it is hard to say. Between google, blogger picnik, they are making it hard on all of use to be out here. We will get it though and it will all work out.
Good to hear you made it through the storms okay, Glenda. We didn't get a thing, even though it was predicted. With the storms in Alabama it is beginning to look like a repeat of last year. Not good news at all!!
I suppose I will lose a lot, when the google reader thing changes, as I am not a Blogger blogger. I will be able to see the blogs I follow as I still have my account at Blogger and that is where I read from. I will feel like I am starting over again, for sure.
Proof reading is hard. I do it over and over and still miss things. Sometimes I have a friend proof as they can catch things I just slide right over. Don't feel bad. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Glenda, I am clueless about fixing the way the reading list looks -- and I am totally with you; I hate changes in these things!
I'm also guilty of sitting here at the computer when I should be making myself useful. Ack. My bad.
Good luck with the Blogger stuff. I do NOT like the look of "new" Blogger -- hate it.
I'm just Suzy Sunshine today, huh?

Sorry, I can't help you. One day a few weeks ago I turned on my computer and my layout had reverted to an old one! I thought: How did this happen? I think lots of things are going on while they're working behind the scenes. Doing whatever they do to make us cranky bloggers.

Sorry I can't help with your blogger issue but it's great that you're down to so few mags.
I wish I knew how to help you too! I have a love/hate relationship with computers! :)
The storms were not far from us. We have friends that live in the area that was hit hard. We had no damage just rain. Glad you are okay.
I am no help Glenda because mine looks just like yours!
Glad to hear you made it through the storms ok.
Sounds like you've been a busy gal too!
I am so needing to get some organizing done like you.
Hugs,
Cindy
No help here either:( I do think blogger and google are having issues and making changes. It may be a wild ride!
It's not you sweetie, Blogger is possessed. Many are havin' problems.
Sounds like you've been a busy beaver girl.
Yep, typin' errors...spell check has spoiled us but what do I know. My spell check lights up like a Christmas tree! Heeehehehe!
God bless ya and have a magnificent day!!! :o)
Glenda I wish I could help. I've had problems everywhere I turn! White screens for no reason....comments not posting...power outages...It's a pity me party at my house *winks* BUT we now have power back...I switched to google chrome (Much better on all fronts)....Which has spell check built in by the way...and I still mess up every single blog post! So don't feel bad, there's always somebody worse off...in this case me lol! Vanna
I am a blogger nitwit-
Good luck. Everyday is a new day with blogger.
You have inspired me to clean out my magazines!

I use Firefox and have Windows 7 also, but my reading list is still like your first photo. I did try out the new interface, hated it, and switched back. Have you cleared your cache to see if it makes any difference? That's usually my first step in computer problem solving.
I wish I could help here, but mine doesn't look like either one of your screens. It used to look like the first one, but started showing up like the other one a while ago. Frustrating for sure.
