blogging in Japanese

.

The bloggers among you will appreciate this -- in the hurry to get ready to go on the morning of the 11th, I forgot to post my "adieu" message.

The hotel in Fairbanks had a net-connected computer available for guests to use for brief periods, so I took my turn to get my message posted.

I guess the last person to use that computer was Japanese -- when I brought up blogger, all of the text on its pages was in Japanese. Hmmm. I tried for "blogger help" and was told that I needed to change the browser's default language. Well, sure, I know how to do that.... NOT. (Reading this over, I wonder if it was actually that the last user who knew how to change the browser's default language was Japanese..................)

Luckily the formatting of blogger's pages didn't change, and I am familiar enough with where things are on the post-editing page that I was able to change the date and get the message posted, even without being able to read any of the text on the editing page................
