Patricia Finney Oh lord, how I wish I WANTED to… er… what was it… upload databases and inload soggyware? I’ve had a Wordpress blog for a couple of years now – I’m a writer, I need to do this sort of thing – and it has cost me hundreds of pounds to pay someone else to do all the scary uploading and downloading. So I’m trying to learn how to do it myself. Current project: install a paypal button. I’ve been dithering over it, reading how-to articles and watching how-to videos, and worrying about how to make sense of what seems like Martian language to me. You think it’s easy, simple, obvious. To me it’s a huge labyrinth with unreliable clues written in strange runes and horrible invisible traps. Without the fun of any battle axes or firespells nor any saves. My mind just doesn’t work how you think it should and if there’s a way to cock up, I will find that way. If only people like you and people like me could somehow meld minds to explain stuff! Incidentally, posting this has successfully put off actually doing the thing for a bit longer.
