Thank you. I have made time to work on this in depth tomorrow. Maybe this is all connected with the above, but I also cannot comment on some blogs. It sends me to a yahoo search engine I never use when I hit comment. I also cannot get the reader to load for me most of the time. It did yesterday morning, but when I switched categories, it would not load. and it will not load today again. I do have limited internet service and I do not know if it is download limit partly or not. Some sites I am having no problem on at all. Get back to you all tomorrow after doing the things above.
