You can sorta tell I ain't having a good day.................................
With age you have more hindsight because there is so much more behind you then. Should I have even started a blog? I stay confused, but out of common courtesy and consideration I do try not to confuse others in the process of living. If any of you folks ever see something weird or just plain out of place, be ye not surprised! Just ask my husband if confusion should not have been my middle name. My apologies to Rat for experiencing that with my post yesterday and possibly others, unlike Rat, bears his soul. I still love you Rat!
There is a "behind the scenes" in blogging so bloggers can correct any boo boos and edit any left out constructive stuff. There are codes for this and codes for that as I have previously noted in my blogging; that you best know where that code goes, as well as what it does. Since I fly by the seat of my pants most of the time, I do alot of things spontaneously and most times having no idea why I am doing it, nor what it is I am doing to start with. That is called Trial and Error. I spend a lot of time in the Edit mode and then sometimes editing is just not enough. My blog for some reason is having a hard time loading my title on what will be the post below this one after I get this one published. Having seen all the obtions behind the scenes, there is one I never respected that much I suppose-- until TODAY. It is short and sweet. Simply said, DELETE BLOG and it never phased me before when I saw it, but don't think it didn't light up yesterday and today. By nature I am not a quitter which is probably why I am where I am today. Therefore, I ignored that option today. Since I have not committed myself to have to post everyday, I am still here and thinking back to my friend recommending a blogger help book, titled Blogging for Dummies. Apparently there are many other Claudia's in blogville and going through the same feelings or lack of that I am. When you start at the bottom you can only go up, so hang around and one day it just might get better. If not, what have we lost? Until.....God Bless!

Hang on, silly rabbit! Trial and error's not against the law. And books are still good.
You CAN'T quit!! I look forward to reading your blog every single day....it is one of the bright spots of my day. You are doing a great job; I would never have been able to do what you have. When you become discouraged just remember what you have already accomplished, it might not seem like a lot to you but believe me it is. Hang in there, you have lots of people "rooting" for you.
Paulette, those kind of words could only come from you, my "BESTEST" friend who knows me and knows more about me than anyone else. You know I ain't a quitter, but I gotta learn to take baby steps instead of jumping in head first. LOL. Just when I thought I had patience conquered I blow it! Thank you!!!!
Love you girl, God Bless!
Thank you dearly for your comment and what a lovely and inspiring post. There have been many times I have been so frustrated by this blogging thing that I have wanted to hit the delete button. But alas, I suspect I will remain here in cyber space as long as you will. Wonderful blog and keep up the good work :-). I look forward to reading more of your posts in the days and years to come.
Warmest Regards,
Conor
I can't begin to tell you how far I've come since I started my blog just over a year ago. I was where you are ... and my method of learning was trial and error too.
I have made MUCH use of the preview options and edit options and delete options! NOT DELETE BLOG THOUGH!!! I have been frustrated beyond belief! You are doing GREAT!!! You just keep on plugging! And you only need to post as often as you want to!
I do have a suggestion ... start a second blog ... with the same template. Then you can practice stuff there and it won't mess up your main blog while you figure out how to do stuff. I have 7 blogs, 4 of which are practice blogs with different templates.
Look at mistakes this way ... once you get it right, you aren't likely to make THAT mistake again, and you've learned another step to the blogging process!
Thank you Rat, mama mouse and Conor! You all have made me see that good folks are everywhere and always near-- where and when you least expect them. God Bless!
