I'm sick about My Computer - I assumed what I saw = what you saw

I ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT WHAT I SAW ON MY COMPUTER IS WHAT EVERYONE ELSE WOULD SEE TOO WHEN THEY LOOK AT MY STUFF  on THIS BLOG.  BUT ITS NOT, AND I'M sick to discover this.  
   Its only recently that I've figured this out with the help of the family getting an IPad.  I've often wondered why I get so little interest in my posts and now I understand why.  I didn't intentionally set out to make things look this crazy - its what Blogger does to it after I post things and doesn't let me see it. (Now I'm sounding really paranoid but I'm not - just read and see for yourself what I'm having troubles with.)  Makes me wonder if anyone else has these types of trouble?  It makes me wonder if I should still do some blogging. It also makes me wonder if Blogger is trying to get rid of people or what? Or is it time for me to trash the computer I have.

   Recently my family acquired an IPad2.  We've been talking about getting one for awhile and almost did at Christmas time, but decided to wait for the new ones to come out, figuring the IPad2 would be cheaper if we waited.  So we waited and finally got one.  At first my kids totally hogged it and I couldn't even touch it or look at it even if my life depended on it.  That was okay with me because I've been busy lately, helping with Teacher Appreciation week, Spring Break, taking my son to the state Geography Bee, traveling to South Caroline to see my son become a Marine, Easter, taxes and finally holding a crawfish boil ect....  I was so busy with other stuff I didn't have time to think about it let alone touch it.  Which was good because like any new toy a kid seems to get they play with it all the time when they first get it but once the newness wears off they are on to something else.  So now I finally have time to get my hands on it and can look at it trying to figure things out. 
What I'm seeing I really don't like.

   One of the things that absolutely shocked me was to discover what I was looking at on my computer is not necessarily what others are seeing too. It's definitely not what I'm seeing on my IPad when I look up this blog on it.

  I first noticed it when I went to look at the post I did on the Fox.  Here: Fox @ Cypress Bend Resort (Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that blogger will let me download the picture I want to post.  Lately its been very picky about what it will let me include and what it wont, even when I make sure its within the pixel parameters required by blogger. Its always a hit or miss thing.  Whats really weird is sometimes if I make a copy of it, blogger will let me load the copy but not the original even though nothings been changed - I do like having figured that aspect out.)  My computer shows this:

Below is what I see on my IPad.

The one picture is so much bigger than the other and its out of place.  It's right below the writing and above the other picture. Plus it shows up again  where its suppose to be like the way I see it on my computer. I never wanted to have two of the same picture in that post. 

At first, it was no big deal.  So they made the picture bigger.  I guess people can see it better that way, right?  That's why they did it, right? But why is it out of place like it is?  Why are there two of them when I only downloaded one?  What the heck is going on here? So I used my IPad as a guide and I corrected it via my son's Apple lap top that showed it the way the IPad was showing.  No big deal its all right again.. 
  I mused why Blogger would be doing this and it dawn upon me that maybe because I'm only allowed so much storage space for free and then after that I have to pay.  The more images they use the more storage it takes thus the more money they get.  Or there maybe some other crazy thing they have going on that I can't figure out. 

   Getting back to the IPad, I then  noticed I could get my email on the IPad and read it from there.  So I opened up one of emails from one of the blogs I like to follow.  I started to read it and notice all the nice pictures with it.but got distracted  with a 'MOM' and had to stop reading it.   I got back to my IPad and played around with it some more but the one thing I couldn't figure out with my IPad was how to delete email without opening it.  I once had a computer long ago that did that same thing and it unleashed the worse virus by opening a  suspicious piece of mail and I didn't want that same problem again, so I went to my home computer that I've always worked on for my posts.  I deleted the one suspicious email  and up popped that email blog I like to follow so I decided to open it up and finish reading it.  Only problem was not all the pictures were there.  This surprised me.  So I got the IPad and opened up the mail again and looked at the two together.  Sure enough my home computer didn't show the pictures while the IPad did.

  I started to think back to when Google made all those changes last year.  I know it made me sick to loose all those pictures on my blog posts. (or so I thought because my computer didn't show them)  Most of the post I didn't care about but my more popular ones it did matter to me.  My post on    Hogdes Gardens   (June 2, 2011)gets a lot of hits and I wanted it back up to what I had posted so I spent a long time figuring out what picture went where and getting all the pictures back into place where I wanted them to be.   On my computer I finally had something that was acceptable again.
   And here's what it now looked liked, showing how I got one picture back but not the others. And this shows how my pictures are missing on my computer screen as seen by the caption still being there in the center box.

 Now switching to the IPad this is what's visible on it. The bottom picture is the same picture. But the top is totally different.

But what really got to me was when I looked on my IPad and saw this with my Hodges Garden post.

Now you can see a little of what I saw and why it is so troubling to me.  What really frustrates me is the fact that, I only added that picture twice and there ended up being 3 of the same one. Why it is this way is beyond me. Notice that one of them  is bigger than the others just like the Fox.  Trust me I never wanted to have 3 of the same pictures there. Also I try to keep them the same size unless there is some detail that needed to be seen then I'll blow it up but shift it to the left so it fits on the screen properly. On my home computer screen it shows the way I wanted it to appear.
    Below is how it appears on my computer screen. Quite a difference.  I never imagined that there would be anything else than what I see on my computer.  It never cross my mind that Blogger could mess it up like it is.  And the most frustrating part is I can find no technical support to correct this problem by going through Blogger or Google.  All they want is comments.

 No wonder I'm not getting followers on my blog - people must think I'm really weird or something else after seeing all of these kinky posts.  I want to joke about it and say I'm a stutter and blogger is doing a good job of expressing that to people.  I can assure you I'm not and after much trial an error I'm trying to correct my posts so they will look like a normal regular post.  (Just for the heck of it I tried this post to see what it was looking like on another computer and sure enough it was doing some of those same crazy things - Hopefully when I post this I'll have all the kinks worked out of it.)

This isn't the only area where I've been having troubles.  On Twitter I can't get images - I thought I was doing something wrong but now I know its my computer and not me.  At least with the IPad I do get the images and have been able to work with some of it.

Here's a shot showing how I don't get images on twitter.  And I've tried so many different things trying to get them but I just can't. I must admit the Twitter support people were very helpful and did provide good suggestions.  I've finally concluded with Twitter its my computer and not the programs I'm working with.

And the other area I've had so much trouble with was with the captatchas (here:my-problems-with-captchas)  I still have troubles with them even with all the helpful suggestions I've gotten.   The good thing is I can now leave comments through my IPad.  So now I don't worry about them like I did before.

Now I must figure out if its Blogger that is messing up,  (Since I don't see all the  images on other blogs sometimes) or is it my computer that's having the problem.  If anyone has any idea how I can correct things as I work on them without going to another computer I would greatly appreciate it.

Now I'm going to be spending all of my time trying to correct my older posts.  What a nuisance. 

 I Muse: Is it worth the effort since I seem to have so few followers?  But every once in a while I do get visitors and for their sake I guess I should fix things, so they don't think I'm crazy too.

 I.Muse:  I wish I could make a video, of what I'm trying to show but I haven't gotten so sophisticated with all of this technology stuff yet. Maybe some day I will but as of now my hands are full try to correct things.  Right now I'm just satisfied to be able to figure out how to fix this problem so I can make this a normal looking post.
