Yes, it turns out that I cannot actually do anything I really want to via blogspot, whereas I can via ftp to the old site. Downside: must learn html. Upside: it works!
so please visit the gracegoesabroad.co.uk site. If you want to see the old website, then there's a link, but directly it's gracegoesabroad.co.uk/archived-index.htm
cheers and hope you continue to follow it...
