Yo Baby, this creature of habit is lost like a mouse in a maze...
I know this change in the format of Active Rain is simply "progress" but whoa.
I thought I was dreaming when I couldn't find the Blog catagory and every time I click on my home the states come up!
I felt as if I were in a maze like the mice trying to find my way to the end and get my cheese...
I thought my cheese done slid off my cracker!
All of a sudden the place I wake up with in the mornings and go to bed with at night was different!
There should be a warning like on the label of cigarettes>>>
WARNING: THE NAVIGATION OF THE NEW AND IMPROVED ACTIVE RAIN MAY CAUSE ANXIETY, CONFUSION AND THE NEED FOR LARGE DOSES OF ANTI-DEPRESSANTS.
It was reported by Active Rain Community Builder Rich Jacobson, Jorgen Hahn, our resident Rollerblading Expert and Matthew McConaughey impersonator, was taken into protective custody earlier this morning by Federal Agents after receiving a number of vicious death threats stemming from the abrupt removal of the BLOGS link button on the popular real estate network, Active Rain.
If this sudden change has caused you any undue pressure, anxiety, sterility or impotence...we are gathering names for a class action lawsuit.
Leave your name below with your AR address, as I can no long find you anywhere!
Later in the rain~Deb

This creature of habit is right with you and was lost in the same maze. Thanks for being the one to point me in the right direction,
Deb... it had me all discombobulated this morning. I couldn't find diddly. Boy, I sure hope they put that blogs button back where it was (or at least somewhere we can access it from every page).
Morning Deb,
As I told someone else when commenting on their like post, "I hate eary morning frustration!" and yesterday morning was one of those days. I did find the link eventually, but the frustration had already kicked in.
Indeed. ActiveRain caused some anxiety yesterday morning. It was so frustrating yesterday a.m. to figure it out, I had to do what any American woman will do when in a state of anxiety, I shopped.
Deb,
Yes, don't those guys know that mice agents are creatures of habit?
Hi Deb - This drove me crazy...We should start a petition "Bring back the Button". Of course, half the members probably couldn't find it.
I am used to them moving stuff around, but where is it now. Back to searching.
Deb, they may understand technology, but they sure are flying short on human nature. I spoke to Brad finally at 4:30 after being frustrated all day and thinking it was a just a clitch on my page. LOL.
Should have known, Brad didn't know either. He was bombarded with calls, emails. Thank God, my number was in his cell phone and he picked it up.
I actually hate it and would need a good explanation of it to see the benefit. Which should have been done prior to the release. That would have shown up regular contributors what was coming. A simple post on what was coming, where to look, and why would have caused the level of stress to go down.
I just logged on and still no official word that I have seen.
Remember Debra;
Do not fear change. Change is good!
Especially if you wear Depends. :)
Very confusing! I fumbled around for awhile and then ironically read some instructions on twitter so came back & figured it out. Well almost.
And now this morning for some reason the big LOGIN button on the tool bar was missing.... blog heaven once again strikes. That's where my drafts ended up (although I couldn't find blog heaven so I don't know if they are really there either or not!) So now after a lot of pacing and some not so very nice words and finding my really strong reading glasses I see this little itty bitty "login" in the corner...... are you serious?
It is a big encyclopedia now. The friendships and socializing is all but over. Back to work! LOL
Morning Deb, I was looking all over yesterday for the Login Button. When I was a kid, my mother was always rearranging the futniture in the house or my room when I came home from school and that made me "nuts", I suppose AR has their reasons for the change.
Deb, All I want is the blog button back so I can easily navigate to my peeps!! I am afraid I am missing stuff!!
This world is so diffitult right now! Active Rain, please don't make it diffiult here too. Thanks for filing the suit for us Deb!
You are soooooo funny, I was upset by this change (surprisingly) and don't like having to search for my subscriptions!
DEB, after I FINALLY found my cheese again I saved it to my favorites so I would not have to hunt again. Then someone mentioned that I could find it at Home : Blogs :. I didn't notice this cheese thing until late last night and for quite some time I was chasing my tail.
Deb- I just found you from the WIR, apparently yesterday while I was out having some fun AR put the button back. Like Missy said they might know technology but sometimes you have to be intuitive, and hey we are the ones that use this site......so WE need to be able to find each other, our own way :)
The other important thing mentioned is some advance notice on something like this would be nice.
I read your post because I loved the title! Very creative!
Deb, yep, I was totally confused and never did find the blog button. I was depressed and having anxiety attacks because I couldn't find my friends. Whew, I sure was happy to see that Blog button and my friends again!!! :)
