Dyslexia: reading disorder. Dysgraphia: handwriting disorder. Dystechnia: technology disorder. Okay, it's not a real word. I heard it at a conference and decided it's a perfect description of me.
This is me, or this is me if I were blonde. I love my computer when it's working well, but when something goes wrong, I'm completely at sea. I have a wonderful computer guy, appropriately named Angel Eden, who rescues me when I have a serious emergency, but for everyday glitches, I'm still a mess. I'm scared to try anything because I know I'll screw up and my laptop will disintegrate in front of my eyes.
I'd love to have a really sexy blog with all kinds of moving parts, bells and whistles, but it's beyond me. Do I make use of all the great social media? Not enough. Yes, I'm on facebook and linkedin but I don't often use them. Twitter? I don't get it.
This would be me if I were a man.
Technology, of course, isn't limited to computers. There's the cell phone which I use for phone calls (how Twentieth Century of me), the IPad (I don't have one), the Kindle (I use mine only for reading books). What I need is a live-in technoogy handyperson. Anyone interested?

Blogs with all kinds of moving parts and bell and whistles can be a real pain to load. I like 'em simple, like yours.
I agree with Bish! The loaded blogs are a headache. Wishing people would not put stuff up just because they can.
For someone who doesn't think she is a techie, your blog looks great.
I linked over here after noticing your response to someone else's post -- and laughed -- and I relate as well to the love-hate relationship with computers -- and blogs. I would so love my blog and website to be sexy, dance before everyone's eyes, draw readers from near and far -- HA, but I'm still figuring out what my blog wants to say and making a commitment to post regularly -- the A to Z thing is helping!
I could use a live-in or at least close techno-geek!
(I also understand and relate to the demanding cats comment!)
Fun read
Yes, that's me, loving computers and my phone as long as they are working. Then they get called all the names under the sun when something goes wrong. :)
