adding the avatar

It's probably very good for me to be working on this 23 things project. I managed to move the avatar to my blogsite today. I created an avatar last week, but I couldn't get it moved. Today I couldn't remember my yahoo account information, so I had to start over. Eventually, I created an avatar again, and with only moderate frustration, managed to move it to my website.

I find it truly aggravating to try and keep up with and remember all the different passwords, user names, website addresses and special codes that you need to access the internet. Each site has its own rules about what codes are okay, and I end up with way too many "secret codes" and sign in data to keep up with.

Another frustration involves following the given onscreen directions. It always seems as if the directions I need to complete a task or solve a problem are on another page, not where I can read and follow them as I carry out the task sequentially. I have to write them down or try and recall what to type in and what to click on , and my memory is like a sieve. I'm finding that I have a very short patience level - I'm working on improving that too.

Actually it's very nice to have free lessons online to help computer users become more competent. It just seems to take more time than I really want to spend to accomplish each task. I don't want to stumble and fumble around. I want to get in and get out and get onto other pursuits. But that's not realistic. It's going to take time, patience, and persistence if I want to learn new things and improve my computer skills. So I'll keep plodding along.
