I don't know what happened to my recent posts and my photo. I do know I tried to change my blog template/format, and I thought I had succeeded. Oh my. Everything is gone. I did save some of my posts to my computer, but some I did not. <heavy sigh>
Technology is not necessarily my mortal enemy (at least not on the scale of Comcast) but we do battle once in awhile. When I'm in the battle alone I usually lose.
In the first years of iPhone my friend said it was like "science fiction in your pocket." I agree. Think about all the things our smart phones do. If you're anywhere near my age, and you recall when we all brought answering machines into our homes, you have to admit smart phones are pretty amazing, and intimidating.
Iemail, itext, iphone, icamera, itunes, iapp; I do all the basics. That's about it. I'm not brave or confident on the technology front. I have an iMac and I've been thinking about getting a laptop. The thought of that venture causes me to hyperventilate.
Every time I do a software upgrade I take a deep breath and accept the fact I could lose every contact, photo and song; that some things may work differently and I'll never be able to figure them out.
Setting up this blog was me and a friend of mine. It was me sitting in a chair beside him while he was at the keyboard. My contribution to that effort was keeping his wine glass full.
So when I went forth on my own to change my blog format, well, that was out of character for me. Yet now that I've done that it almost makes me more brave. I lost stuff. So what. I start again. Pretty much the theme of my life: start again, try again, do it wrong, do it right, try again, and again.
