I am so happy......"Look mom see what I can do!!!"

Ok...This may not seem like a big deal to most of you who have mastered this blogoshpere, but this is huge for me. I know I went to a few of your sites and cried.....Sorry about that....Just got so darn frustrated with the whole thing. Anyhow, a colleague of mine walked me through the blog world.....WOW....I feel like I need a PhD to figure out all that computer jargon on the templates. Seems to me there is a lot of hit and miss involved.

As you can see I have been able to change my background....Thought the autumn theme might be nice. Then learned how to add you all to my link list. Oh I feel just a kid in a candy store!

Now I am going to get really brave here. My friend also showed my how to do a link in my post.....So here it goes.....Here is a link to my little town of "Qualicum Bay" where I live on Vancouver Island. Qualicum Bay
Map of the Island

The map shows Qualicum Beach....I am between Qualicum Beach and Bowser.

Ok I am not going to push my luck now.....Hope you enjoy the visit to my little town!

Mary Anne, congratulations! You have done it and we are so proud of you. Thank you for adding me to your friends list. And, I'm glad you are getting the hang of this blogging thing. Believe me, I learn something new every day of the year. It took me a very long time to figure out how to link thing and how to change/add code and I have had to ask family and friends how to do stuff. So, please don't think you are alone out there. My husband always says that I don't like to read manuals -- I learn by playing around with things.

Your template looks great and I will have to ask you how you changed your background.

Mary Anne...I think it is a big deal and it is beautiful!

How did you change that background to look like that? Now, you have to teach us.

WOW!!!

Mary Anne,
I'm so impressed that you changed your background. I remember struggling with how to do links and adding to my sidebar.
Thanks for adding me to your friends list!
Also thanks for your prayers and concern for my husband. I truly appreciate it...
