  Being new, does this sort of thing happen a lot? I have a couple of google sites, same sort of thing. Stuff works, doesn’t work, works, etc. Arbitrary changes for unknown reasons. Just wondering.

  Again thank you muchly!

  So, It will now continue to load all the posts at once, nothing I can do?

  Cahneg thees to one that has footer widgets so yoyr can regain control over how many posts appear on your front page. Fortunately changing themes is an easy process that takes only seconds. > Appearance > Themes select a theme and click “activate”. As MistyLook is an older narrow theme it’s not likely you will have any issues with images when you do so.

  Being new, does this sort of thing happen a lot?

  During the course of this last year some of the new features which have been introduced have not be appreciated by some bloggers. What’s not appreciated is the that changes are introduced by stealth ie. without any warning and without the ability to “opt-out” or “revert”. When it comes to infinite scroll, there are many threads you can read to witness what it took to get the footer widget workaround for opting out. I have no idea what the future may hold.

  I apologize for the typos above.
  edite: this silliness “Cahneg thees” was meant to be “Change themes”.

  Yes, it happens a lot if it means more money for WP. Check this post of mine:

  There we go again…

  Again, I thank you. So I need to make sure I choose a template with footers. I’m not sold on the one I had, so no big deal, but it was working out and had the features I was looking for. Although I don’t like it, it’s good to know WordPress is no better than blogger. I was trying WordPress to see how it worked and the advantages it offered/didn’t offer. Education is not always pleasant. If anybody has suggestions about a template similar to Mist Look, I would appreciate it.

  Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

  I went with Twenty Eleven. Seems ok, it was certainly easy to change. WordPress went down a notch in my book. The arbitrary change made without my consent or knowledge was instructive. Thanks everybody, for all the help!

  Her’s a link to an article that will illuminate you with regard to how Twenty Eleven is designed to operate.

  So I go to the preview, I figure ok, everything looks good, click change. It wipes out the background, the header, and I have not figured out what else.

  In the preview everything looked OK, now they are all stock images I think I have to make new sizes of images and reload everything. I thought it would be simple, but no.

  I’m an art teacher, this is a learning experience for me, so I did learn something.

  It’s called “infinite scrolling” because now it takes an almost “infinite” time for all your pages to load.

  Ms. Timethief,

  I really appreciate your help, the link to the particulars concerning the twenty-eleven template is helpful, next time I change, I’ll look for detailed articles first.

  I’m also working on an e-commerce site on blogger, less choice in templates but more access to the css and html of your site, harder, but doable. The site on wordpress I just wanted to try for school, fun up until today.

  Thanks again!

  Mike
