Techno idiot at Blog

OK, OK! I give up!! I've tried for HOURS to get the stinkin' San Diego Knit Blogs picture to go on the link on the side - and I GIVE UP!!!! Yeah, I suppose I should have dragged one of my teen-agers in here to help. I guess I'm just too proud. I really thought I could pull it off but NOOoooo! So, I give up and I'm mildly pleased that I actually waded through the code enough to figure out how to put the words "San Diego Knit Blog" on the link.

So what demented, masochistic fool came up with this whole "code" thing? Anyway - I'm in a nasty mood due to just hideous pain in my neck and shoulders that has kept me from knitting so it's hard to have that zen like experience without my nightly knitting to mellow me out.

I'm currently working on my last of three baby blankets for this past 12 months. I swear it is the last because they are kind of boring. This one is the spiral blanket. Have to get a picture but I'm not going to use my phone again. Why - well the pictures - as you can see are rather lousy and it currently costs $2 per picture to send them from my phone to the internet. Really not worth it for a blankie I'm not so enthralled by. Goodness - I'd better never tell the soon to be mommy about my blog or she'll see my ambivalence about her hand made gift. So, the ring link is done as far as I'm concerned and I can't see me putting any other buttons given the pain of trying to do this one.

How do you people do it with the buttons cascading all up one side and down the other of your newsy blogs? It is just a mystery to me.

  1. HA! you sound like me a few days ago trying to put the "ABC Ring"(and it's still not how I want it, but it works! Then I found out if was a button that wasn't clicked under config.! I'm with Typepad, so I'm not sure of Blogger..I wish I was more help to you!Also(if it's similiar to Typepad- remember to check the area of design and the order of what you want shown on your page and if you've made a 'List' make sure to check it so it does show up on your page...I've probably confused you know...email me)

  2. Hi!

    You have a nice looking blog. I'm having trouble too, with the links. I decided to skip that part and go strictly with my own content. Well, it's still bothering me anyway. Wish I could help.

    Ha! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with the code thing! After much trial & error, I finally get it all worked out only to completely forget how 2 months later when I need to do it again! Even when I make myself a note, it doesn't help! Keep trying and it'll happen eventually. Don't suppose that's much in the way of advice though, huh?

  4. OK - I love all of you guys for making me feel better about being a techno-idiot.

    I'm almost surprised the blog is still here since it's been over a month since I "blogged". So, I'll got leave a quick posting.
