Just doing something - a meta post.

It can be difficult collecting your thoughts, especially when the ground seems to move from under your feet. After a long time lag I felt I needed to make a post to check all was well on "briansblogonstuffthathappens". But were there changes!!

Every once in a while you look at your blog and no ideas are flowing. Yet for some unfathomable and intuitive reason one feels the need to make a change - and adjustment - to check the blog is still functioning.
So, just to change my picture (the new picture is shown left), I find the whole blog technology has moved on. But it is access to my account via Google email addresses that has been the problem. An emergent centralising tendency by Google, the new owners of Blogger.

Blogger has been bought by Google, I can only access my blog by a google account, png is the new favoured graphic file format for pics on the web and I have other blogs accessed via a different gmail account!!

At what point does steady change become turbulence on the web?
