Okay, so this is a test of my computer skills as well as my posting ability from this nifty button on my toolbar that simply says 'blog it'. I am just shy of being a complete technophobe. I'm getting better, simply because there is no one else to do this for me and I can't afford to hire anyone. The life just isn't that great yet, when it comes to writing.
Take, for instances, the fact that I had a mild grand mal seizure yesterday while trying to suffer through my first lesson with html coding and trying to do up a newsletter. My result? I should hire someone to do it for me and just write up the content. I'm not that great at it.
But here's the rub, as Hamlet would put it. I can't stand that I can't do it. It will pick at my brain until I figure out what I don't know or what is stopping me from learning it and I'll be back at it again in a few hours or so (actually stopped short just now of stopping going back to it because it's getting me so worked up and I need to relax...I know I need to relax...DAMN THE CODE!!!!). The major problem, I discovered, is that I need to use programs other than hotmail to deliver my newsletter. I hate it. But that was the point of getting the big, scary computer this year instead of the bed...so I could learn and not be afraid. I wish I was a math person. Their brains just seem so better suited to computer stuff. I feel like I'm trying to learn Swahili with a Russian/English dictionary in China.
Again, I'm weird so don't analyze that analogy too closely. I do seek professional help, they just run away from me. And on that note, time to test this puppy out.
