Beginning

In my first attempt at blogging, of course, as usual, I encountered a major glitch on the way.  I spent my Sabbath morning creating my first blog, and then invited everyone on Facebook to look in.  Somehow, nothing I wrote that day was saved.   For those who visited, all that was there (here) was a blank page. Grr-r-r!  When all else fails, read the instructions--my  motto for life!  I went to the Blogger site, downloaded the "Getting Started Guide", actually read it, and here goes for my second attempt.  For anyone joining me, this will  give you an inkling of what to be prepared for with my journaling.  Can anyone give me advice on getting the "Service Unavailable 503" thing?  I went to Blogger/help and all I got were umpteen thousand other posts complaining about the same thing, but no solutions offered.
