Blogger school sucks RSS

I’m learning how to blog. Yes, I know, you’d think I’d have at least tried to learn a little about it before setting this one up. I thought that if I just jumped in here and got going, however, the steps of what to do next would show themselves. Actually, they may very well have. I probably need technical glasses.


I went to the library and got Blogging for Dummies. It says it can help me, “set up, publish and maintain a blog.” It has its work cut out, I promise.

I don’t mean to be stubborn or seem as though I have absolutely no confidence in myself. That really is not the case. I have all kinds of plans for my blog to be of service to people and to help my family make a living. My creative end works well. It’s just that the technical side does a lot of couch time, eating ranch flavored Pringles and Heath Bar ice cream.

It doesn’t help that the information given in any of the help sites I’ve visited and in the above mentioned book, is as dry as the Arizona desert. Seriously, I’m dehydrated just reading about it. Also, I’m a tactile learner. Well, plus I need to hear step by step instructions while simultaneously reading them. Then it helps if someone performs a task while I watch a couple of times and stands over me while I read the instructions out loud and do it myself, with them correcting whatever I might do wrong.

You can see why things could get complicated.

I am determined, though, to really get this blog out there to a mass audience. I have much to share and will be hooking my site to a feed in a newsreader coming to your town soon(?)

God, my head hurts.
