I AM RATTLED--RATTLED I AM
I AM SO RATTLED !
Well it has been a really POOPY day . I am angry, disgusted, RATTLED and just plain old everyday pissed. And at my own self !!! No one is harder on me then I am. Somewhere up here in my head I know there exsists a brain, except when it comes to blogging.
I don't usually spend a lot of time on the computer all at once. I usually take a peek in the morning at my blogger friends to see if they have posted , takes about a second. If they have I'll go back later when time permits to read their post, that's the longest time I spend on at one time. If it's someone I really like I may check back from time to time during the day to see what kind of comments they are getting, quick trips in and out. I use it as little breaks in between the drudgery of everyday chores.
But today I decided that I wanted to learn more about how to do things HEAVEN HELP ME ! like putting things on my side bar among other things. I spent three hours, three tiring boring hours reading and searching and looking. I read everything in bloggers help over and over, it scared me. I read some stuff someone had sent my daughter to help her, it scared me, then I took a look at my template and it scared the holy sh*t out of me. Everything is in code. It is all coded. I was so afraid of making a mistake, so afraid that I would mess something up on my template and not be able to fix it, that I ended up doing nothing. What a waste of time, I am so disappointed in me. I just don't seem to be able to get it.
This from a woman that when her son had to file for bankruptcy and found out that his attorney was taking his money and not doing a thing for him, (playing both sides of the fence), I went to the courthouse and asked if I could go upstairs and look at the law books. In a matter of hours I had the amunition I needed to confront his attorney with what needed to be done. So I went to the next meeting with him. I politely asked the attorney why we couldn't take advantage of this part of the bankruptcy laws and can we do such and such and his reply was a slow motion "Well I guess we can, I'll have to look it up, bla bla bla." But he did everything I had asked . When we left there my son said, "Mom I can't believe the way you handled that, you need to go to law school." Best compliment I've ever had. Beats me , I can understand law but I can't understand enough to learn to become a good blogger. I am so ashamed.
Well I'm not giving up, but it has been a long and tiring day so I'll just say good night for now.
I am so perklepsed. I need some Chee, I need some meditation.
Oh I know, I don't know how to spell perklepsed, neither do you (but if you do let me know it's my all time favorite word) anyway I couldn't find it in my dictionary and my librarian says if it's not in the dictionary , you can spell it anyway you want to.

Uh oh, perhaps my psychic powers are working again because I sense you are "blogger frustrated" because you tried to do that little project I had posted about on my blog - the blog backup instructions? If that is what is going on, sorry. I feel bad.
Don't be too hard on yourself. I know easier said than done. I am also alot harder on myself than I probably should be. So I understand how you feel there.
It's not that odd that you can grasp the law material, but then computer stuff seems foreign to you. I dated a girl once who works in the medical field. So on the date she was telling me about her job and needless to say I felt like an idiot because I had no clue what half the jargon even was. I like to think of myself as a pretty intelligent guy. I went to college, have a few degrees but yet I couldn't make any sense of medicine. I suppose if I REALLY REALLY wanted to get it, I would try harder.
Anyways, my point is just because one area of expertise comes easy to you and another area seems like it's impossible to grasp, that doesn't mean you are dumb. There are just some things in life that will make sense to you and other things will just be frustrating, scary and confusing to you. I guess you sort of have to accept that, but that doesn't mean you have to stop trying and quit!
Pick yourself up off the mat and get back into that ring for another round. I know you have it in you champ. ;)
(If all else fails, look at the bright side...it was more important that you understood the legal jargon to help your son than if you know how to link to a website on your blog. So consider looking at it like that and be thankful that when it REALLY counts, you pull thru without a struggle. Also if it makes you feel any better, I haven't even attempted to do that backup blog project yet. I scanned the instructions and there is a good amount of detail. So even "computer guru" here will have to walk thru it step by step.)
No really, I think I can do that, can't wait to put my posts on a disc.
I have two problems to scared of that template to try to put anything on the side bar. And two, found a joke , thought I took it home with me when I went to use it all I had was the name of it, no joke. I didn't copy the URL. That was my own fault. I forgot to read the instructions you gave me just before I tried to do it. Went back after the fact and read them and thought omg that's what I did wrong. But to late, I couldn't find that joke again.
Thank you for the cheer up you're right I did need it.
I admit I'm still upset over all of it but I'm not going to give up . I'm going to be like one of those little tiny dogs that grab onto a man pant leg and won't let go.
I'm not going to quit, I'm to stuburn for that. If it takes a year then so be it. I'll keep on trucking tell it sinks in. Lol that not going to be easy.
OKAY
GO to your template. Scroll down until you read "this is a line of text that can be in the sidebar"
That is exactly what it is! It is a space where you can put whatever you want! So paste something there and then PREVIEW it. IF it is wrong "CLEAR EDITS" if it is right--save it! I've learned this way and made many mistakes!! You can do it!!!
O.K. but there is a folder in our pictures files not on the net that says T's templates with little birds in it there is no URL just a number like 399 Dimendions 98x80and type: GIF Image and size 8.56KB and a smaller bird too,do you think I can use it.
How do I get it there?? just type in what I've got and wait and see???
Well glad to see you are doing well.
Welcome back Nick, and if you need to vent and it makes you feel better then that's what you should do.
You can't just directly put pictures on your page b/c they have to be hosted or have to use bandwidth to show up. Go to photobucket, start an account and then upload your picture there. It will give you a code for the pic. Now go back to your template and put the picture wherever you want!!

Hi Matty, Nice to meet you. But the word that I can't spell is pronounced in the way that I spelled it. I think it is a jewish/yeddish expression. Thank you anyway I needed to now how to spell perplexed also.
