How’s It Working For You?
The Good News: Putting up my first blog was easy. In fact, I inadvertently created 3 of them.
The Bad News: It took me 5 hours to post my picture in “About Me,” and in the end it wasn’t me who did it. (Thank you to Nelson Pidgeon, my tech support webmaster). Posting blog messages is easy and I quickly understood how to make links. I have a rudimentary understanding of how to post pictures now, but I haven’t done it myself yet. Too busy doing other things. Such as; figuring out how to delete the other 2 blogs I mistakenly set up.
Day 2: After several hours navigating around, I actually figured out how to get into the template code to rename some of the sidebar settings. But – and this is a warning – don’t hit those links (you’ll probably just have to now) because they are not what they say they are. I haven’t figured out how to put the text I want in them. For a technologically challenged person with dyscalclia (a variation of dyslexia)I’m amazed at what I’ve done so far, but the rocket science isn’t over yet. The last thing I said to my husband, before turning out the lights last night, was: “All I want to do is write, but I feel like I have to invent the printing press first!”
Day 3: The first blog message has been posted. (Although I had to type it twice because I forgot to hit save before preview and I lost most of it.) Please feel free to send any helpful advice.

Always fun to read someone’s first post.
March 2005 — impressive — a longtime blogger you are.
I started in May 2006, but lost my archives prior to Sept, 2008. It’s all good tho.
Blogging ROCKS!!
As does poetry. I always feel a bit sad for the non-poetry souls lost and wandering the planet and elsewhere.
