Title: Venting - Frustration Maxed
Tags:
Blog Entry: Ok, I've been here a few days now and have been fiddling around with learning to navigate this site. I'm not computer illiterate and generally figure things out rather quickly. However, I'm sure not getting it through the thick old noggin here! And when you are used to figuring out things kinda fast and now nothing is sinking in, it maxes out my frustration level. GRRRRRRR I have a myspace account and maybe that's the problem cause this obviously doesn't work like that does. But so far nothing I've tried works for me to change the background of my page, add a countdown timer, etc etc etc. It's a boring looking page cause I can't figure out how to make it any better. I'm reaching a high frustration level now... I managed to upload a few pics but the only way I could do it was to go into my PSP program and change the pixel size, which then of course messes with the quality/clarity of the pic as well. I resized down, down down and it still said it was the incorrect size to upload! The only way it would accept it was when I resized the pixel size and I'm sure not happy with that! So I quit doing that. I tried uploading from my photo storage site, fotki, and if that works, I haven't figured it out yet. It sat there for twenty minutes saying it was uploading with nothing happening til I got ticked and closed the whole thing out. From Fotki, I tried uploading from the html code, from the img code and from the direct link to image code...all gave me the same thing that it was uploading and just continued to appear it was uploading for fifteen to twenty minutes with nothing actually getting there til I got angry and closed the whole thing out and walked away from it again. I tried adding a graphic to a comment on one of my friend's pages and that ended up being ENORMOUS so obviously I don't know what the *&!# I'm doing there or how to change that. I've asked a few times how to change the background and have been directed to where to change that...which I already figured out but nothing I do in that changes anything at all! I add things there and click save or whatever it says and nothing changes...yep, I know that it might not happen immediately but when it hasn't happened hours later and after a couple of restarts, I obviously didn't get it right. In myspace I just go to my profile, then edit profile, then add the codes for the background...nothing here that I can find to do that and the page to change it does nothing and quite frankly appears to me to only allow you to change the colors of the various modules...who cares what color it is...I want a different background! GRRRRR I'm really not used to feeling like an idiot and it's not a feeling I'm enjoying, to say the least. I don't like things that make me take forever to figure them out cause I already have too many other things to do that I'm months behind on and can't catch up....on my way to do a few of those things now and maybe some sort of accomplishment will make my mood better than it is at this moment.
