Small steps....
I started the day trying to add a links page element to my blog. After many frustrating hours I finally was successful. It made me realise that how to guides sometimes are not as helpful as you might think. The help guides also need to match the learning style of the student. As part of this learning curve I used the help page from blogger to help me with this task. Still could not seem to make it work. Having added the link to my page it did not show up on the blog page. After much trial and error found out it was activated as soon as I added a link to the link page. The instructions for doing this are not clear. I feel very satisfied that finally I have achieved what I set out to do this morning.
It also humbles me to realise that my students probably would have master this in 5 mins rather than 5 hours.
Hi Joy, I loved your comments above about the frustrations with new technologies etc. It's such a good reminder about the frustrations that our users feel .... or at least some of them. It's good to learn new things, and not always be the expert :)
