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.
