THE LAST POST.

Blogspot no more...

New link to wiljen's adventures version 2.0 wiljen’s Adventures 2.0, 2016 - 20xx


A nice Spring day bike ride along the Estuary, 4 days until India !

After 232 individual posts and a very interesting 2 years this will most likely be our final blog update on wiljen.blogspot.com. The iOS Apple platform barely works with Goggle Blogger anymore. 

Google no longer supports the Blogger App on Apple iTunes's & it has now been deleted. It has become just about unusable, Jenny & I have been running an old version of the Blogger App that hasn't been updated in well over a year. You can try and access the Blogger Dashboard on Google Chrome, but it is still basically useless You definitely can't edit past posts on the Blogger Dashboard via Chrome as the page will not scroll down. The recent iOS 10.2.0 update to the iPad have made the situation even more untenable.

I know Blogger still works on Android & Windows, but when we travel we've found the mini iPads to be the best compromise for keeping in touch with the cyber world. Plus they fit nice & snug in the handle bar bags on our bikes.

So thanks to some unknown reason between Apple & Google (they don't like each other ?) 2 years of work and effort is about to be archived .  It's not a total loss, 90% of our travel notes & photos are stored in the iCloud & on our various iPads. Plus the old 1.0 Version of our Blog will remain on the internet until Goggle decide on deleting it.

Blogger has been shit anyway ! Always a struggle to manipulate & use on the mini iPads . So good riddance to it.

After a lot of investigation we have decided to go with WordPress. Probably should have used it to begin with !  It's all part of the learning curve.

The new link for wiljen's adventures 2.0 is :
