This Old Dog Can Learn New Tricks: Blogging 101

Great! I started a Blog, and posted my first post. I'm feeling so proud.....until words like anti spam code, captcha, gadgets, widgets and HTML code interrupt my bliss. Problematic for a tech challenged person like me. I have so much to learn, but this old dog can learn new tricks. Until then please bear with me while I learn the ins and outs of blogging. I have added links to my Google+ and Twitter at the ends of my posts, should you like to follow me. This should help until I figure out how to add on gadgets, buttons and feeds.

      Carla it is keeping me laughing that is for sure. Last night took me hours to get Google+ follow button on blog. I somehow managed to put on 3 times in hilarious places Now can't figure out how to remove. Told by som DO NOT TOUCH HTML ever again. Waiting for son and Hubby to help fix. Thank god I married a engineer that writes code for a living. Note to self ....DO NOT TOUCH HTML EVER!

      Thanks so much for the positive words. It is so nice of you to offer to lend a hand. After many days I finally got Hubby to help and add a couple follow buttons and remove the duplicates. Next on the list is how to link the various social media sites to my posts. I figure I will try learn a new "trick" a week and add a post s week and see how that goes.

      Thanks for coming to visit Bhupinder, I really appreciate it. I'll probably never be a big fish in any size pond, but maybe a little fish in a little puddle.
