Erin Technology. Just the sound of the word turns my stomach to knots. It really shows my age when I have to learn something new with buttons. Not sure about your age, but mine is only thirty-three. Does not sound too old right? It is not the number that is the problem…… its the mind. My generation was the last to have to work for knowledge. I would have never thought that the internet was possible as a kid let alone have a little box I could type a question into and instantly have an answer!
I still remember having to sit by the TV and turn the knob when my parents wanted to see a different channel. Kids were the first TV remotes ha ha. It is crazy to see my children googling help on homework (or me asking alexa how to help my teenager do her math). My kiddos would lose their mind if they grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Still though, you would think that with all this available knowledge, that setting up a damn web page would not be so ducking hard!!!!!!
I even had a great source of help. Scott Chow has the most amazing website called How to Start a Blog. He walks you through nearly everything. But even then, I wanted to tear my hair out. Thankfully my husband has done everything today! He took the kids to school, dropped off and picked up my pup from the groomers, made dinner, did the dishes, and is now snuggling with our kiddos awaiting the blissful moment of bedtime. Sure it is the usual stuff I do everyday, but for my husband…….. it is an accomplishment. All of today’s stress just so I could yell and scream at my chrome book trying to accomplish something that should have been so simple!
Sure my website looks cheap and a little messy, but I cannot tell you how at ease I feel just sitting here typing. Seeing my thoughts on the screen with photos and colors. This is what I screamed all day for. The sweet release of my fingers on the keyboard. I love that man of mine. I hope he knows that.
Widgets, gs plugins, regular plugins, html, url, pages, post, headers and footers; all things I learned today. So many buttons and links and sites for everything. Doesn’t sound like much, but when you have staring at them all day, it is overwhelming. I had to quickly stop myself this evening because for a moment….. I nearly quit. I was ready to just say screw it and give up completely! I realized I do not have to have the same links or clicks or widgets as everyone else’s sites. Hell, I do not even care if anyone ever reads my shiznit. I just love to write, so writing is all I need.
