  All I want to do is start a blog! But I am computer illiterate-not stupid though willing to learn but I am so far removed from all this computer lingo. After trying to do this half the stuff I have no clue what the hell its talking about! Like what’s an avitar? I thought it was a movie! I miss DOS based programs! I am almost 50 yrs old and I am really windows stupid. Anyone having pity on this enlightened soul and who understands more than I do would be appreciated! I am making progress but so far behind.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I am also a newbie to the world of blog and had to struggle to post 2 blogs.
  So far no response as most blogs posted by newcomers are always lost in the internet jungle.

  Thanks I’m so confused by all the lingo! I have no clue what half the things they are referring to when in the help section. Whats a widget do? I have no understanding of windows at all. I don’t facebook barely twitter all because the tasks take me so long to figure out! DOS is the what i remember. I really need to learn windows I think! Thank you for your encouragement so comforting to know i am not alone in this!! Keep trying!!
