Blog Worth Zip!

Quite some time ago, I added the little widget thing on my side bar that asks the question,
"How much is your blog worth?" And for many months, it sat there showing my blog to be worth a little over $5,000 -or maybe it was $8,000 - I don't know, cause I don't remember the exact amount.

Well, about a month ago now or maybe six weeks - again, memory fails me there - I decided to check on that widget again, run it through the paces so to speak, and see if the worthiness of my blog had increased at all.

The results then said it was worth over $15,000 so I decided that I'd best re-install that widget. Why would I want it sitting there saying this blog was only worth $5,000 to $8,000 when in actuality it was now worth over $15,000. So, I copied the html text, opened the customize label, went to the area in my layout where that widget was resting - peacefully too, I might add - and I entered the new html code, clicked save and all that good stuff.

Imagine my surprise then when I re-opened my blog and now it said my blog was worth a big fat NOTHING! What's more, it didn't even show the spot to click on there to go to the area where one can get the code to install that widget like it had shown before.

I tried several times to reinstate the amount in my blog's worth - all to no avail.

I even went so far as to e-mail the creator of the "Blog's Worth" - Dane Carlson - to ask him why my blog was refusing to show the amount the instruction page said it was worth and further more, why it didn't even give the link back to that instruction page either.

Now, that was about 2-3 weeks ago that I did that and so far, Mr. Carlson, has yet to respond, apparently has no answer for me as to how to correct this little issue.

Tonight, I decided to give it yet another try to have my blog's worth showing up there. I went through all the steps and saw my worth had even increased up to over $25,000 now. Plugged everything in according to the direction and when I went back to my blog to check on this - after being told my changes had all been saved, etc., I find my blog is still worth NOTHING!

This is really depressing me now folks! It's bad enough that my checking account generally runs on the very low side but to think the code says my blog is worth over $25,000 when I try to plug that in, and then when I am finished, it says it is worth zip -well, you can just imagine how lower than low that tends to make me feel.

And the fact that the creator of this lovely little widget won't even respond to me, won't even show his face much less try to help me fix this - well I find that rather upsetting too. Wouldn't you?

So, if anyone out there has a clue as to what to do to correct this on my blog, please, feel free to come forward and help me get this fixed. NOW!

Sure would appreciate it.
