Wanted/ Blogging Assistant
Table of contents for 6/Writing About Blogging
I have been out wandering around StumbledUpon this morning. It’s my favorite place I don’t understand. I went there with the intention of finding some cool posts and reviewing them. I come back empty handed. SU makes me feel like a total idiot. And no mumbling in the background about how much it has to teach us about the world and those who live in it. I go there because I love to look at great places on the web. Maybe I should just leave it at that. This morning I was reading what someone who is an expert on SU was saying about it. And she contradicted what someone else said about it that I wrote about previously. They are both very knowledgeable. In fact, she admitted contradicting what she had written earlier about ways to use SU. So how am I supposed to figure any of this stuff out?
What I need is for someone to come to my house and sit down next to me. This person will have a sunny disposition and a cup of bottomless coffee. He or she will show me all the wonderful things I can do to maximize my blogging experience. He or she will point out the errors of my ways and gently laugh about the futility of my various experiments and blogging behavior. And maybe this person will even show me how to delete Internet Explorer while at the same time resurrecting Foxfire from the digital ICU where it has gone to rest.
Then he or she will depart with a promise to be back in a week to see what progress has been made and repair any damage I have done during that time. All of this will not be free of course. But it will be reasonable and it will make me very happy. I especially like it when someone with a sunny and attractive personality wants to teach me something. I will sit and listen in fascination while a young Mormon goes over the basics of the Mormon faith even though I have heard it at least ten times already. It thrills me when they start looking for references to share from their literature. But I can sit in a classroom and fall asleep ninety eight percent of the time. Perhaps if the rest of the class got up and left I would suddenly perk up and be fascinated by the professor and his lecture.
I need someone like this who is devoted to blogging and teaching others to blog on a one to one level. Maybe it could be one of my son’s VCU college buddies. It would be great if it was my son but alas he knows less than I do. He emailed me awhile ago and said he thought he might have a virus. I asked him if he had virus protection. He said no.
Sigh. Hopefully he was listening when they talked about other kinds of protection in high school. I could call the Geek Squad but they have been tied to a corporate structure that will minimize their effectiveness. And they are very expensive. I feel like you ought to be able to pay someone a lot less than 250 dollars for this kind of assistance.
Maybe the injury I suffered in bed last night is affecting the way I think about these things. And no it’s not what you might think although I could probably take out myself and the bed in a moment of unrestrained passion. Doesn’t everyone do their tax forms while lying in bed with a relentless migraine headache?
You might want to check out the previous post to learn about the physical harm that can result from dreaming in your bed at night. Life is full of precarious moments. And none of them come equipped with neon signs that announce their arrival. I have walked through doors and had head on collisions with large persons who seemed intent on leaving footprints right between my eyes. Today could be the day that changes your life because of some unforeseen event. This is why we need spiritual guidance. Unseen forces are very happy to help us.
But they don’t seem to be into computers and blogging. Or, if they are, it may be that they enjoy writing and communicating their thoughts. They would like to say “Hi” or “God is your friend” or “We are going to stop Davidlind. His post is over. He won’t bother you for the rest of the day. Don’t you want to go outside and take a walk?”
I guess that’s it. Too bad they don’t know much about StumbledUpon. Have a nice day.
Update: I figured out how to review posts when I am stumbling. You press the little cloud next to the thumbs down sign. Here’s a game that is pretty cool. It’s simple. Maybe that’s why I like it.
