Folks, Blogger has the Blog on Code

... am having difficulty making any posts at all right now as I get a code validation every time due to too many posts (according to them) so... it's tough to read the codes on this screen with the sun. Then, I get shut out. There is no longer an option where they will then give a second chance. I have to recreate everything.

Sorry about this inconvenience... I just have to deal with it...
