Technical Challenges

tomatoes2.jpg I am really not that old (AM I? — barely past the half-century mark), but the pace of the world makes me feel that way.  It is appalling to think that I lived nearly the first half of my life in a computer-free zone.  The first computer I was really familiar with was enormous and only did payroll, yet we were AMAZED.

 So anyway, it should come as no suprise that even with WordPress plain-English instructions, I am challenged here.  I’ve spent the last 3 days trying to figure out how to insert that picture in an acceptable size — at first it was enormous!  after days of struggle, it’s now tiny!  I cannot seem to hit the happy medium.

 I knew when I began this that I would find it technically challenging, and on the whole, I guess I am pleased it hasn’t been WORSE.  I lose heart so very easily in such realms, where I am so 1) incompetent and 2) basically uninterested.

 I resent the assumption that we are all so tech-savvy!  The expectation that we are all capable of being our own in-house tech support is akin to getting a message like this from your doctor — ‘bad news, you need an operation, but you’re going to have to do it YOURself.  Here are some instructions in mumbo-jumbo.  Good luck with that!’
