In reply to: UNCLEMaerk,
Civility? On the Internet? Be still, my heart.Your last post was the most useful information of all, and I’ll look into it.
Blogger leaves a good bit to be desired, but it’s easy.
To all of you who responded, and tried to help, please understand that, from the very beginning, I knew, and admitted, that the flaws were in my internal wiring, not WordPress.
It’s actually a good topic for a discussion. Is the difficulty a result of the subject, or is most tech writing so poor that it makes the subject unnecessarily obscure?
In my case, probably a combination of the two.
Thanks very much.Bill (not really Vladimir. Not even Vlad Guerrero.)

In reply to: UNCLEI’m not very computer-savvy, as you note, but I’ve always been a betting man. And I’ll give real good odds against your being able to find anyone – ANYONE – who can do a COMPETENT JOB in all these areas. How many people have written decent sonnets? A dozen? Fifty? A hundred? and can you imagine any of them, other than Williams, and perhaps cummings, setting a bone?
The last time the world was that comprehensible was probably during the early 17th century. Perhaps, perhaps, during the Enlightenment.
This is typical Heinlein pointless romanticism.
Much like the deliberate use of the alternate, and almost never seen, spelling of “con.”
Thanks very much, but I’m outta here like Vladimir.
Cheers.

In reply to: UNCLEThanks to all for your interest and advice (although the idea that anyone would expect a writer to repair a typewriter is ludicrous; because I drive a car, would you expect me to be able to fix, say, my own transmission? of course you’d have to pay someone else. Otherwise we’d all be self-sufficient. And totally unproductive.)
That being said, I’m just more interested in writing than in programming, so it’s off to Blogger I go, devil or no devil.
Thanks again.

In reply to: UNCLEI CAN’T log in at WordPress.com. I get the same stupid popup saying that the login is wrong. Different logins for wp.org and wp.com? This is why I’m trashing this mess. Who needs it? I’m not interested in geeky stuff.
If we were back in the days of typewriters, would anyone expect me to be able to repair an IBM Selectric, or even an old Underwood?
Thanks for responding, but this whole thing is taking up too much of my time and effort, to say nothing raising my frustration level.
