Along with Microsoft Support providing incomprehensible instructions re OneDrive (the techs seem to think I'm using an improper VPN, a concept I barely understand), I've suddenly been alerted by Blogger that I have shut off comment notifications. I DID NOT SHUT OFF this feature. But, just off the bat, suddenly a "You have shut off this feature" notification. What the heck? Did I do this during a shot period of lost time?
Attempting to adhere to the useless online instructions, I am unable to access options allegedly contained within my settings. Those options are NOT THERE.
I'm utterly confused. Is this just another Blogger We-forgot-how-to-keep-this-service-going software snafu?
What SHOULD I be seeing in the Settings section in regard to comments? And why is at least one useless online tutorial referring to the Settings icon as Options? Is Google not familiar with its own programs? Frankly, this wouldn't surprise me. (At this point, I'm confusing MS with Google. A mind is a terrible thing to lose.)

OneDrive is not a fully-baked product, as near as I've been able to tell. But the IT folks push it and we use it. Or at least some people do. I doubt if a quarter of the folks in our company know about it. I have about a thousand photos from my last trip to Italy stored there and I don't know how to get them back to my local drive. I was trying to upload the pictures while I was there and I got an email from IT support saying someone in Italy had hijacked my account. Not sure why they thought a hacker in Italy would be uploading vacation photos to my account, but whatever. At least they were paying attention...
What's weird, in my case, is the insistence of the Support people that I stop my shares at the online account, ostensibly to see what happens at my personal One Drive. But everything I've referenced on line, via Google itself, suggests I'm doing nothing wrong. I quote: "Yes, you can access your personal Microsoft OneDrive by going to 'onedrive.live.com' in your web browser, as long as you have a Microsoft account and are signed in with the correct credentials; this is the standard way to access your OneDrive files online." Sez Google. But Google Support wants me to share files by email? The utter absence of logic, or anything close to same, gives me a headache. (Either that, or the Arctic blast we're getting.)
I think Nostradamus said something about, "When the tutorial disagrees with the advice from Suppport..." Something about the end of everything.
