Elizabeth recently gave herself a four year evaluation, and as her near-constant companion, I thought I’d add my thoughts on her progress. When Elizabeth started blogging, she was familiar with the Internet but knew nothing about code, like most beginning bloggers. She used the Blogspot publishing platform to create her blog posts, but I’ll let you in on a secret- it took her MONTHS to figure out how to put links in her posts. The day she finally understand how to make an image link to a DIFFERENT LOCATION made her feel like she’d conquered the world.
As she continued to improve and moved to a self-hosted blog, Elizabeth also learned how to take better care of her computer. I’m not her first laptop, but I am definitely reaping the benefits of her experience. See, Elizabeth likes to click links. And sometimes those links are for junky sites that take up a ton of space and slow down my overall processing speed. Over the years, those of us who have sat on Elizabeth’s lap have had to be rebuilt more than once due to excessive junk clogging us up. But, she’s learning.
Now, Elizabeth’s husband, who is the resident “computer guy”, he likes a certain brand of computer that rhymes with “Fell”. I myself am a “Fell” laptop and I’ll happily assist Elizabeth in the creation of her blogs and everything else she does online for as long as she needs me. This particular blog post, however, is sponsored by HP, who I’m sure also makes fine computers and laptops.

Ha Ha! I have an HP laptop and it’s my first. I had a Sony Viso before this but HP is far superior. My husband, however, has a “Fell” and is very happy with his too.
I tend to think computers don’t need people to write the posts!
I am a beginner blogger. and only 5 months I started writing this blog. I started a lot to learn about anything in here. I’m starting to like this world. A world without limits, free to express our emotions.
When I first started blogging I used Blogspot as well and I thought I was going to make so much money and have tons of reads etc… Boy was I in for a big surprise.
It took me a year to really understand what I was doing and now I have friends and family asking me for help in getting started online.
(I know what you mean about the slow computer speed I clean all my browser history, cache etc… weekly now)
