Well, I guess it's clear at this point that the blog migration didn't work. It worked in the sense that all of the data (including the comments and links!) got transferred from here to WordPress. That seemed pretty magical to me. But it didn't work because none of the pictures were aligned correctly, any picture with a caption was huge, I couldn't edit photos in old posts anymore, new photos took ten years to upload...and the list goes on. I could tell you the whole story some day if you're interested. The upshot is that it would have taken me literally over a year to correct all ~43,000 images by hand, so I bailed and came back to Blogger where it's safe and familiar, and (most) things work.
However, the commenting problems here are real and I'm trying to fix that. I've found a workaround for myself that might help some of you--especially if you're using Safari: if you go to your Safari settings, select Preferences, then select Privacy, you should see a way to change the "cross-site tracking" configuration. When I did this, I was suddenly able to comment again--and lots of other little things about the site are working better for me, too. So give that a try if you feel like it, and please let me know if you have any success.
One of the reasons that the migration was so frustrating to me is that it took several full days away from my time with dolls. I have a huge list of interesting things that I want to share with you, and I hate falling behind. So let's forget about technical stuff as much as possible for right now and get back to the fun! Today's fun is in the form of a quirky little collection of dolls that I discovered about two months ago. The line is called Cave Club and is made by Mattel:
