Reduced Hits
Many of you have been complaining about reduced hits from the Random Blog Button. Let me assure you that the few who have spoken up are not alone. This is affecting everyone!
Without going into too much boring coding detail, the problem arose when Blogger FORCED me to switch to New Blogger. Though everything may appear to be in working order, obviously by the reduced number of hits behind the scenes it isn't working as well.
There is no easy fix here. It's not like I'm being lazy or too busy to get around to type in a few lines of code and VOILA! Granted, I have been EXTREMELY busy, and this may be delaying it somewhat, but it's not easy. Basically, I need to come up with a new coding strategy to get your hits back up to normal. Not impossible, but not easy either.
Like I said in a post below, I have finally finished the move and once I get my desktop set up in here (and allow a day or so for the back to unsore itself), I will be working steadfast on the problem with all the free time I can muster. I know those of you who have seen what I am capable of do not doubt my ability to get things back on track (maybe even better than before) with enough time.
Sorry that I could not respond to any individual emails or comments (and there have been quite a few), but I hope this addresses everything!

Do I need to donate money?
I have also been having problems since I switched to the New Blogger.
I thought it was just because I am inept at blogging.
However my hits are up since I switched over. Mostly people from China.
My concern is that very few people that visit leave comments on my Blogs.

I did wonder, too, whether I'd done something to scatter any random visitors to the wind... good to know you're on it - I'm sure there'll be a solution so obvious you'll laugh when you think about it!
Really?
Well, I guess I don't have time to comment on your

Hopefully this can be addressed soon.
I can understand what's happening. Hope everything get s back to normal.
