the frustration with this forum continues

I wrote some time ago at my frustration of not being able to respond to comments left on my blog posts.  It's something I still can't do.  Google keeps asking me to sign into my account, but I'm already logged in so...

And it's getting worse - to the point where I'm considering moving my blog to a new platform.

The latest issue surrounds uploading images, this blogs entire raison d'être!  It's taking me at least three attempts to upload anything.  After attempt one (or two, or three) I get a message saying it's not possible to upload images to my blog.  Then I'll get an attempt that just crashes before finally being able to upload a picture.

I really don't want to go anywhere else for fear of losing my posts and the over ten-year history of this otherwise very fine (my words) blog.

What to do; what to do...
