So I decided to crawl out of the rock I was living under for the past few years and actually see what sites were good…I’d heard of WordPress, tumblr, twitter… haven’t we all. And I thought to myself, how difficult can it be for a teenager to figure out these silly websites? It should be pretty easy right? WRONG!!!
I understood nothing of what I was supposed to do. I’ll admit that I have been away from the Internet for a really long time, but even so, those sites were there when I went into my self imposed exile. They were very different. And today I felt like a complete noob, having to Google
“What is RSS? ” and
“Adding some buttons on my blog” and
“How do I open a new tab”
No kidding. I’m sure I looked like this. Only with a bit more hair
Okay so maybe I know how to add buttons, but the others are completely unexaggerated (inexaggerated? ).
If I were to give myself excuses, they would sound like,
“It’s not like I’ve ever used these sites before!”
“There’s no one you know that uses these sites! You had to figure it out all by yourself!”
And the excuses would be valid. But I’m not making them. I accept my shortcomings. (Do I get an award for that?)
I guess it will take time for me to get back into the loop. And I think that’s okay (not really). I left the Internet on my own, I was prepared for this sort of stuff (again, not so much).
But if you ever see me make a big, stupid n3wb mistake, just understand that I am still learning to use these sites. I still have most of my Internet vocabulary straight and will not hesitate to use it.
I wasn’t going to post but I did. So much for schedules and stuff.
