What's the Point?

     So I am reading all the comments on my past blogs and decided to take some advice and do this blog in word, then transfer it to my blog page.  I composed this perfectly awesome little notation about my last trip to ICC.  It was like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and I thought the commentary would be amusing to my fellow classmates.  So I have three hundred or more words (not including title) in this fabulous composition and you would not believe what followed after I pushed the SAVE button.
     I thought I must import my word document to my blog page.  No problem, after I checked all the prompts on both WORD and the NEW POST sites.  Now, if you are not a computer savvy person you will totally realize the dilemma I have gotten into.  First you bring the blog site up and attempt to transport the word document.  What in the heck do I do now?  I've been working at this stinking thing for hours.  Compose the blog, edit the blog, correct the blog, import the blog and it is not working.  I just keep getting this message that says my document did not transfer due to an error with the server.  I mean I kept trying this process over and over again until it finally stuck in my muddled brain this was a futile effort or I was most definitely doing the wrong thing. 
     Then, in all my brilliance, I decided to put the word document up on my computer screen and put my blog blank page on top of it.  Maybe I could shrink one or the other to the side and just type from one into the other.  Not going to work.  After all that screen is only so big and those word documents do not shrink at all.  Then I thought I'd just write the blog down and then type it into my blog page.  Oh no you don't.  It's 1:30 in the morning now and I'm just too tired to deal with that process.  I'm sure you're going to ask why I didn't just print the stupid thing.  Because, I just got a brand new Kodak printer and have not set it up yet to accept documents from my laptop.  Come on people, that's a whole new worm hole to figure out and I'm not willing to start it right now.
     So here I am typing a brand spanking new blog about my blog.  What did I learn tonight and this early morning?  Never again will I type my blog in word.  Never again will I try to import anything.  I shall just check my spelling the old fashioned way, by reading over my work.  Until I figure out what I'm doing wrong or what server error means, I guess I am destined to be computer ignorant!
