It has been way too long since I’ve done anything with my website. for that I apologize to those few who have faithfully checked in, time to time. I am still learning new things at 82 and I really want to share some of it with you and those who join you in the future.
Number one is to let you know some of the changes that’ll be taking place, hopefully in the near future. I have in my hands a book on how to build a website. Although WordPress is super easy for some, there is a lot to learn and that’s where I want to go. Back to the Future, or something like that. I want to learn if “old dogs” can or can’t be taught new tricks. Can senior citizens cope with the cyber age or not?
Thus far, I’ve done fair to middlin” in the computer age. Many folks in my generation (if they’re still living) are unable to fathom the intricacies of iPhones, iPads, iMacs, Word, Excel, Publisher, etc. etc. So far, I’ve fairly well mastered most of those at some level or another. Now I’m tackling a new arena, so watch this space as I learn to improve it. I’ll keep you updated.
Number two is Publishing. I’ve taken the first steps in learning to self-publish on Amazon Kindle with some success. I’m still in a stage similar to what I’ve just described with WordPress. I can do it OK, but I have more to learn. The next book I have ready to publish will be out in March. We’ll see how much better that process will as it happens. I have much to improve before I re-release my first book in a new format.
Number three is blogging, an area I’ve been reluctant to enter but necessity drives me on. I love to write and maybe that’s what I should be doing on a more disciplined basis. So, with that in mind I shall do my best to post a Friday blog on a weekly basis. At this time I’m thinking of a “Variety Blog” like a Variety Show of old. Non-political, unbiased, athletically unchallenged, acrobatically amusing variety. Whatever comes up.
Today is Friday… I’m already late!
Tune in next Friday, then…
