Beginning Blog Blunders
I have a confession to make. When our professor first assigned us this blog project, I was not looking forward to it. I am always telling myself that I don't know anything about computers, when in reality, I seem to know enough to survive in a computers class. So far, I've been trying my best to figure out how this blog thing works but to no avail. I'm having a hard time understanding the Help section. Help! Just kidding... I'm sure I'll manage somehow. I just don't really have computer common sense. It took me a while to figure out the code section, especially since I wanted to post more links on our blog. When I first saw the code, I didn't even imagine I could tamper with it. I thought it was for the head honcho. Unfortunately, I have to learn the coding in order to learn how to do anything on this blog. The code has all the answers... As you can see I'm experimenting with this post. I tried uploading a picture from my computer. Right now, this is how I feel, frazzled from trying to decript the code and understand this blog. # posted by Catherine @ 10/08/2005 09:34:00 PM

Hey, you're doing well. I believe you are getting the knack of it. Experimenting and playing with the blog application is the key to make this worth your while. Good job so far.
Catherine, I know exactly how you feel. You sound just like me! Sometimes I just can't get some of the most stupid, common sense things. I didn't think I was supposed to mess with the template code either. Like you said, I thought that was controlled by the blogger head honcho. I was scared to try to edit it! Eventually, I got the hang of it, though, just as you did. We're all in this together! Don't forget that! You have done a great job so far. I love how you've organized your links. By the way, I have a confession to make: I stole your idea to post the PBS website link. I know, I know, I'm a terrible person, but I couldn't help it--it was a great find!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who was intimidated by this blog. I remember when I first walked into our class I had the idea that everyone would be computer experts. I had absolutely no confidence in my ability to use technology, and I was reliant on my friend who was adept at computers. Since then, I have learned so much about myself and that I am actually capable of doing more than I previously thought. In the future, I hope I won't limit myself with this negative behavior.
