Thing 2

Why am I participating in this? I find it a challenge. Almost everything about computers has been challenging to me, and I want to meet and greet this one. My son is a computer geek, and has encouraged me to change from pc's to a Mac, (incidentally helping him out by buying his) because "Apples are so much more user friendly". He doesn't understand that 'old habits' are also user friendly, and learning new things are not necessarily user friendly. Again, it's a challenge, and one I can deal with on my own time.

I want to learn the jargon and know more about using it. When my library patrons come in asking about our computer connections and functions, I want to be able to really help, not just impress. But I find that when I'm learning something new, I have to do it wrong every possible way it can be done wrong before I manage to catch on to the right way. This applies to my bread baking, quilting and computer use. It helps me value success!

About to Begin

I have been trying for several days to get my avatar in place on my new blog, and to get registered to the CMLE list of bloggers. While working on my Mac, I got error notices each time I tried exporting, but was actually successful--there were many of me here.

I just don't know how to get noticed by 23 Things. I'm here! I want to be acknowledged! I'm trying!
