• In search of a blog host that may be reached by ‘phone…for one initial conversation… since
    at my age (84) and poor PC lingo comprehension I’m unable to find from the FAQs answers to my following questions…

    Would greatly appreciate advice…

    A. My present blog , of several years, is:

    http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-P81pQcU1dLBbHgtjQjxG_Q–?cq=1

    B. I want to start a new blog, in the format of my above blog, but under a different blogging host, because of the situation explained below.

    C. I rarely use my present blog because it is technically irritating and difficult to handle. Instead, I post in the two following forums and so far have “saved”, in 2008, circa 160 scientific comments on research reports of life-sciences subjects.

    http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/60/122.page
    (nullTS1019153)

    http://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtopic=14988&st=345

    D. I solicited, several times, the following technical help from from Yahoo 360:

    (a) Blog posts editing instructions. Need a procedure to edit directly IN the old post.

    Presently to EDIT an existing post I must first copy/paste it all elsewhere, edit it
    where I pasted it, then add the complete edited post in plain text on top of the original old one, then delete the old post to leave only the new one, and finaly I have to “touch” (B,I,Font,etc.,) it all.

    (b) My first page must be permanently #1, the opening page, when I add-list new titles.

    Presently to ADD a new post-page I must first copy/paste my page #1 elsewhere, delete #1 from the blog, perform the addition of new page(s)-posting(s), then edit-update the pasted page #1, and finally re-post #1 as a “new” page.

    Yahoo’s 300 reply is: ” cannot offer any information regarding these issues….”

    E. I seek a blog host interested and able to serve my next-generation blog, “DH Life-Universe Comments From 22nd Century”, free of the above technical problems. I wish to start it with the circa 160 short titles, posted in the above two forms and “saved” by me, in 2008.

    And would it be possible to direct searchers of my present Yahoo blog also to the new blog location.

    Respectfully and hopefully yours,

    Dov Henis
