Technologically inept
That’s me. My blog is so boring, so pathetic….and it’s because I have NO idea what I’m doing. I see other blogs out there and I have BLOG ENVY.
People have cool links. I don’t know how to do this. People have photos. I had photos way back when I first started, now I’ve forgotten how to compress them so they’ll fit! I followed an awesome link at
My Little Drummer Boys to a stick figure sticker site. I did my own stick figure family, but could I copy it and paste it to my blog like she did? NO! I couldn’t even work out how to let people comment on here! I was whining because nobody was commenting, when actually nobody COULD comment, because of my settings. I tried to place the Great MOFO Delurk link on here and couldn’t even do that. Blog envy.
My friend Tiff, from Three Ring Circus (see, I told you I don’t know how to link!), is giving me a much needed blog tutorial, straight out of the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) school of Blogology. I feel sorry for her, because she seems to think I have a clue. Ha! She’ll be sorry.
However, I am determined to improve. There are some brilliant sites out there, and some of those people must have started out as clueless as I am right now (right?). At least I’ve learned how to save some of the sites to my favourites, so I don’t forget where they are! Dear me, my 10 year old knows more about this stuff than I do. It was Mollie who introduced me to You Tube for heaven’s sake (I LOVE You Tube). How embarrassing!
I certainly had NO idea when I started!
Don’t worry we’ll get you set up and you’ll have heaps of blog traffic because you are such a good writer.

Tracey - go to your stick family- right click it and save as ‘insert whatever you like ‘ is your ‘my pictures’ - then upload it just like you did with the photo above. I am still learning things and other blogers are great teachers and will guide you on the journey to blogging fame.
