Problems with Blogger.com not saving and publishing? Try a different browser than Firefox

Can I just say that one thing I've noticed about Blogger.com is that when using the Firefox browser, sometimes it gets hung up when you're writing a post and it just continues to say "saving" and the "save" button is grayed out and won't let you click it and it won't let you publish your post.

Sometimes it's so frustrating -- especially if you haven't saved your post, but thank God I usually have a copy of my post somewhere, or at least a draft saves so you don't lose everything.

Anyway, I've found that clicking over to another browser other than Firefox helps a lot in this instance. I don't know that I've tried Internet Explorer -- after all, since I've converted to a Mac-lover after I bought my MacBook Air on Black Friday 2011, I don't use IE anymore.

But when I click over to Safari, the publishing goes well and works just fine.

I don't know what it is with Firefox and Blogger.com -- but I've kind of noticed the same thing sometimes when writing my Examiner.com articles. Not as often, thankfully, but sometimes on Firefox it'll get hung up when I'm trying to add a photo to my articles. I think I remember that switching to Safari helped that issue, too -- but usually I just grab the copy of the article I've written first in Microsoft Word -- because I like to get a quick word count and make sure my articles are at least 200 words and do a quick spell check.

And then I paste it over into Examiner again and I'm off to the races and earning again.
