beach hazards are nothing compared to the hazards of blogging..
or....'Oh woe is me' ...part 2 |
.....so I log on to Blogger.
yep...Blogger lets me sign in , but won't open the page so I can
write a post.
now I'm not a Tech-Head, nor am I very internet-savvy....
(I had
you fooled, didn't I )
so when I strike a problem with my computering,
I do
what all die-hard luddites do....
I beg for help from the offspring....I whinge, I whine....
but they don't blog, so once again I'm on my own
and I resort to
my usual solution.....avoid the computer for as long as possible
and hope it will sort itself out.

| the tides going out on my blogging dreams |
a week passes and I muster the courage to have another go, to try
something else.
so I download Opera .
yay! that works .....Blogger will let me sign in with Opera , but
not Internet Explorer.
okay, if that's the solution, I can work with it.
so I write a post, excellent...... but now it won't let me upload
any photos!
now this is an 'Art -blog.'
I need photos.
I need photos because I am such a darn-slow typist and I
don't like to write much...it takes too long to type.
in disgust I turn the wretched thing off. I want my life
back.
I head for bed.
 |
| zigging and zagging on the path to nowhere |
another couple of weeks pass.
every now and then I try wistfully, longingly, to get 'it' to
work.
finally son suggests that if Internet Explorer won't work, and
Opera won't work, that I try Google Chrome.
so I download Chrome, but 'it' wants to use Picasa...who am I to
argue?...so I download Picasa...and that means I now have to learn to find
where my photos are hiding, and how to crop them , resize them, upload them and
why is it all so hard?
I head back to bed.
 |
| the calm before the storm? |
more weeks follow , and here we are.
first tentative steps back into blogdom , with a computer
chockablock,
crammed full with every browser invented,
and photos floating in
cyberspace, and being bullied with pop-ups demanding that I agree to post my
photos to insecure sites.....help!
If you are reading this, then I've succeeded,
if not....sorry.....but I've gone where all exhausted ex-bloggers go,
I've gone back to bed!

fabulous signage at Williamstown Beach,
and I'm off and running! Fingers crossed! |

ps: all photos of Williamstown and surrounds taken on the most amazing, still, sunny, autumn afternoon...31may...
it was just gobsmackingly beautiful and such a 'good-to-be-alive' day.....
....despite being blogger-bereft!
