How are people able to run blogs at this site?

I have tried repeatedly over the months going back and double checking everything meticulously before "Creating" but this blog refuses to accept anything I attempt publishing. I have posted several initial posts and have done the EXACT same thing but am being refused telling me "unable to save." Is there a secret coded message here or something I am missing? Are there a specific amount of hyper links that we are limited to? What's the max wording on any one blog? Is it my browser? What about my moniker, maybe this site is rejecting my moniker name? I mean, damn, what gives here? It was so frustrating that I deleted this blog bookmark and then after several months attempted posting just now. Same damn thing. I'll be damned if i can figure this out.

Have you emailed the team directly? Are you leaving your browser open a long time? The only time I ever had a problem is when I left a post half written, came back hours later and tried to finish and post it. If I need time to finish an article I write it on Word first then copy and paste over. I hope you can figure it out or get some help from the team.

It seems that from February to May, you posted quite a lot. Did you update your computer, change browsers, or make any other major changes around the end of May that could be conflicting with the website? Also, like Saitama said, the support team is really the best place to go with this. Good luck!

I had the same issue in #SummerInJapan Campaign. The things which I have noticed is, When you upload big images it takes time to upload, and resize to screen.So if you are uploading many images just wait for each 1 or 2 images , until they resize as screen size.If you still find difficulty try to email admin directly on email or on there facebook page, and I am sure they will reply back to you :)

Living on Japanese time?

Do you eat with your family at a particular hour? My interactions with neighbours and friends suggest their dinner time is much later than mine. I tend to aim for 7 p.m. Tell us about your dinner hour and the constraints of your work hours, family schedule. Gratuitous pic of summer soba prepared by my Japanese ojisan neighbour.

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.
