Newbie Blog Attempt! What has taken me so long!

Why is it so hard for me to understand the technical world? OK, I admit I am over 30. Is that the reason?

Let me give you an idea of what I mean. I have been putting off getting a new cell phone for 6 months now because I can't understand the ads. Each ad (and there are way too many models to choose from) explains all of the new functions for each phone in detail. The problem is I need a Technical Dictionary to figure out what they are talking about? C'mon! I still have problems turning off the DVD and getting back to my TV! I mean I literally spend 10 minutes clicking buttons on 3 remote controls. Some of you may be laughing, but I'll bet there are just as many who know where I'm coming from.

Hence, the Blogging Issue. When I have some time (very little time to spare for these ventures) to try to read the articles offered to help me get started, I am overwhelmed by the stuff. I seem to always feel like I need to go to the info on "Setting Up" first. After all, it does say "first". Then when I start reading about HTML addresses and such & I give up. What I am most sure seems to be absolutely primitive to those of you who are technical (and under 30), seems impossible to me.

So, if anyone is as non-technical as I am and knows how to give me some help - one simple, untechnical, for those over 30, baby step at a time - please feel free!

Hi Chere, I'm with you. If you get any helpful responses, let me know. I'm still trying to figure out how to put a picture in the blog. Veronica

Welcome to our world of being confused, overwhelmed and distressed while enjoying every minute of it! We look forward to your posts. It will get easier.

Chere, WTG, you did great. That is the first step, just Do It! Welcome to the Active Rain Family.

Chere- You have your picture up, some information in your profile, and you did actually post something. That's a real good start.

Here is a link to a post that I wrote about Getting Started in AR. Basically, this includes additional links to some articles that helped me starting out. If you need any other help, email me and I'll do what I can.

Welcome Chere!!! You have done a great job with your first post and now it only gets better from here. There are a lot of great and helpful people here that will help you. This is a great place to learn. Keep up the good work!!

Once you start, it will get easier and easier. You just have to get out there and get your feet wet.

Finding things to blog about isn't hard. Remember to write for clients and let them see all your sides and all of your community that you work in.

Thank you all so much! WOW! So many caring, helpful people! I am going to try to figure out how to respond. I am sending this comment, but not sure where it will show up.
