I H.A.T.E. feeling so S.T.U.P.I.D.!!! (stomp, stomp, fists clenched into tight balls, bottom lip poked out…WAAAAAYYY out)
"Why," you ask, "are you feeling so, as YOU say, STUPID?"
I can’t navigate the technical side of TypePad well OR fast! And, THAT ticks me off like no tomorrow! The technical side sucks T.I.M.E., but once I begin something, I just get more and more frustrated until I can get it figured out. AND WHEN I CAN’T GET IT FIGURED OUT, apparently I pitch a posted temper tantrum.
I need Michele or Mike or Peter or SUSIE to come and hold my hand and lead me through this impenetrable blog jungle. They should take note that at this moment, I am a ferocious BEAST and my bite is much worse than my ROAR!
But I do have a nice, fresh warm cream cheese pound cake and some smokin’ Dunkin Donuts coffee I’ll be happy to share. Takers……..anyone?
I shoulda been visiting Julie more often…she takes care of the Swampwitch when Swampy doesn’t even know she’s going to!

All that said, I sure as heck don’t deserve this distinction:
According to Kineda’s Blog "To be an A-List Celebrity in Hollywood, it’s all about the amount of Vanity Fair, GQ, and People Magazine covers you can score. To be an A-List Bloglebrity on the Internet, it’s all about the amount of link love you can score."
All this really means is I’ve been linked to 500+ blogs in the last 180 days (per Technorati)–which I’m sure is of the stellar content and Pulitzer-worthy writing prowess…not my affiliation with the Blogging Chicks or anything simple like that…;).
Okay…I’m done…I realize there are a lot of serious things going on out there…for now, I just needed to blow steam. Done. Feelin’ better already.
Ooooh, the frustration! But I love the new greeny look!! Hope things get better and easier soon!!
I am totally with you on the frustration – it was hard enough for me to switch to the “new” blogger, and when everyone did the typepad switch, I was too much of an idiot to join.
I’m SUCH a Neophyte – and no help at all. But I’d totally eat the goodeis!
Yup – that’s why once I have a scheme down it stays there.
Like the new look – very springy.
Love the new look, everyone seems to be chainging, is it the spring weather?
Btw, my hubby laughs at all the dumb questions I ask him but then I did only score 17 in my computer geekness test!
Okay…I’m ALL OVER the new look! It is fabulous!!! The champagne and sage compliment each other so well. It’s calming, soothing, makes me want a nice, fresh warm cream cheese pound cake and some smokin’ Dunkin Donuts coffee…but I can’t figure out why…
For someone who claims to know nothing about these things, you sure do a nice job. I wish I could help you, my friend, but I am afraid I’m right there in the boat with ya – completely HTML, XTML illiterate. But I can make a MEAN pot of chili 😉
I almost forgot:
Congrats on the A-List award!!!
Can I still sit at your lunch table?
Huh? Am I missing something? Everyone’s talking about a new look but I still get the old one.
Email me about your problem.
Thanks Miss Sabrina 🙂
Tiggerlane, you should use that in your blog title or somethin’ 😉 (after blogging over a year now I STILL feel like a neophyte!).
Karmyn, it’s canned TypePad, but it clashed the least with my “stuff”…thanks, tho.
Beccy, I bet I wouldn’t even register a score on the computer geekness test! My hubby suggested since it’s springtime, I might wanna get rid of the winter template…lol, I didn’t even “see” it anymore.
Susan, funny girl you are…I woulda never called these colors “sage and champagne”, but now that you mention it, I totally see it! But soup’s on? I’m on my way!
WT, yep, you should be seeing (apparently) sage green and champagne! When I can formulate a stinkin’ question, I’ll hunt you down! (thanks)
I’m the only one who keeps sitting on an old egg. Too much anxiety – can’t change anything.
I still love your old blogger template! See, I’m not help at all. (:
Dear robin. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Someone needs to give you a back rub.
I can’t relate, being a non typepad user, but I hope things go well and quicker for you in the future.
And I’ll take this opportunity to say that, according to technorati, my blog has no links to it. I know it does. Technorati sucks.
Now I see the green one, I had to manually refresh, it was still blue a minute ago.
I forgot to say that I’m in for next Monday.
I can help you with TypePad. And I’ll be most insulted if you don’t take me up on it. Okay, well maybe not insulted, but I do want you take advantage of my good nature and let me know when you get stuck.
Pamela, maybe it’s because Blogger was “my first”, but I still prefer it to TypePad. Part of that, I’m sure, is back then, I was VERY interested in the technical side of blogging; now, I rather just read or write. The problem with Blogger for me was not being able to upload pics too frequently, and problems with commenting, lol…right now, I can hardly remember the problems I had.
Dear LMM, I’m pretty embarrassed about my silly rant yesterday…it’s pretty insignificant compared to the ills and needs of the world, and I even started to delete the post. Then I figured, it’s “where” I was following a frustrating time, so I left it. Seemed disingenuous to remove it…
WT, I’ve found that sometimes other people have seen changes to my blog before I can even see them (even when I refresh the page). Weird.
Carol…I’d LOVE to take advantage of you, so thanks for the offer ;).
Great new look. Congratulations on the A-list award. Us lesser bloggers can only admire from afar. TypePad what’s that !!
Typepad took me a little to catch on to as well. Once I figured it out I think it’s easier.
Olivia wants a blog so I made her one on blogger. I forgot how to do anything there. I’m having to relearn.
I like the colors on this blog, easy on the eyes.
Did you just say pound cake?
First..yes you do deserve the A-list blogger! Absolutely.
Second…thank you for the rant. As aggravating as it is, I am sticking to blogger
Chris, Thanks sugah :). TypePad is the same thing as Blogger, except not really ;).
Vicki, COOL! I can’t wait to see if any of my kids ever want to blog (I’m surprised Rachel hasn’t…).
Nikki, yes ma’am…come on over!
Claudia, dang you’re sweet. And if my little rant helped anyone in anyway, 1) it’s a miracle and 2) glad to be of service ;).
