When the teacher has something else to do
Too much vocabulary needed. Must sleep now. I’ve been caught in the cunundrum of explaining the basics of blogging to someone else. I realize that you can call a dog a cat and it will still chase cars, but if the vocabulary is precise, an explanation is transferable. Right now, my brain feels a wee bit mushy.
You see, when you post your post, it has been saved AND published. But, if you save, it remains something full of potential, yet unrealized. Similarly, the “About” page is like a post, but it’s a page, and when you try to manage it, the page is not really the same. Wait, you just closed Explorer. Not Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer. Try Alt-Tab. OK, forget that for now. Back to your blog.
No, you can’t see what happens when you have too many posts for a page until you HAVE too many posts for the page. This is not a simulation.
My brain hurts more and more as we go down the path together. Did you know that the average “window” has too many distracting objects to ever allow a beginner to feel at home? And that two people trying to write in their blogs at the same time is another distraction, because one person will be obliged to talk to the other one, just to prove that distraction improves the thinking strategies.
In a few short days, my partner in this world of blog-stress will have figured things out, and the idea of posting something will seem like a natural process. Until then, I’m doomed…
