I have been spending a lot of time looking at and reading other people's blogs. I have definately stumbled upon the good, the bad and more than anything, the ugly. I am not happy with my own blog because I don't know the slightest thing about all this html programming frikafrak and despite having read through a ridiculous heap of "helpful" information, I am not anymore nimble than I was before. FUuuuuuuuCK! It is so annoying. I want to have control of my blog. I want to be the master of it. But I'm not. It's not even the master of me. We are two slaves to a master of html jargon that we don't understand. Sad story man.
My ex-husband was a computer geek. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten rid of him so soon. I could use a programming geek like him around to show me a couple of things right about now.
I am determined to figure this crap out. I guess now is one of those times where it might be a good idea to swallow my pride and ask someone who knows.
The writing, I can do, but all that other fun stuff that I see on other people's blogs (I won't say what because then I'll feel like such a sissy), that's what I want. I want the fun AND the writing. Not just the writing. I mean, the reason I am doing this is to write, but I am just frustrated by my lack of freedom to post pictures, link sites, etc. Anyone who reads this who has any tips, please, share your wisdom!!!!

I will help you anyway I can :)
Aw. That is really nice of you. Basically, I'd like to know how to do things that look really easy but that I don't have the first clue about like incorporating pictures into my posts and putting up little categories on the side like you have on your site, like "my mood" or "10 things about me" or whatever, you know what I'm talking about. You look like you are a real expert on the matter...:)
