What on earth do they think I WRITE???

(deep breath.... commence rant...)

Oh, my. This is really embarrassing AND maddening.
Hopefully I will eventually find it funny.
I just spent the last hour or so TRYING to install one of those "Recent Readers" widgets from "My BlogLog".
Earlier this afternoon, when I visited Morgen, he said it was "easy" and showed me how to do it (on his computer).
"Ok," I thought. "That doesn't look too bad. I can do that."
Hahahahahahaha.
I HATE it when people say "Oh, that's easy," and when I try it, I end up wishing for the sweet release of death instead.
I've spent the last hour fussing around with HTML and color choices and junk, wondering why it WASN'T WORKING for me. I also noticed that my screen looked somehow quite different from the one Morgen had.
I was SO frustrated, just about to the point of tears.
"I'm not stupid," I kept saying to myself. "So why can't I figure this out?"
Well, after about an hour, I noticed that the widget I wanted was actually UNAVAILABLE to me, because...
Get this...
Are ya ready?
They think I'm an ADULT SITE.
ME!
There was this message at the top of the page:
"We are not currently offering the Recent Readers widget for adult sites. If you believe you have been labeled an adult site by mistake, please email our customer service and let them know you are not an adult site."
(!!!!!)
Y'know, there are blogs out there that are a LOT more "Rated-R and Beyond" than my humble little blog here, and THEY have those widget thingies. So there's no way I should be labeled as an "adult site."
What made them THINK that?????? I don't even SWEAR that often, except when annoying stuff like this happens!
Needless to say, I sent them an email stating my case, and am hoping to hear back from them very, very soon.
How embarrassing!
An hour of frustration, all for nothing!

(Note: That's not REALLY what I e-mailed them, but I wanted to....)

If this would've happened tomorrow, I'd have suspected perhaps it was some sick April Fools' joke!
