Calling all bloggers! I need help. Desperately
So you know the age old question? Sure you do. The old worn out ‘To blog or not to blog’ That is the question. Yeah that one. But what if the answer is ‘To blog ’ (which it is) and you (here I mean me) don’t have a clue how to do it? (blog that is!)
So I am humbly throwing myself at your feet (I hope you have a rug or something) and beg all the wonderful people out there that are so knowledgably and so caring and so generous and so (I am laying it on to thick?) helpful that can assist me in the huge (humongous) endeavour to please step forward and throw me a life…(what do they call those things anyway? All I can come up with at the moment is raft.) line? and please tell me how it’s done! I know there are ‘create your own blog’ things out there, but then you open it and stare at the computer and think…huh? What? Ummm? Really?
And the sad part is, that I am one of those people who are too scared (terrified) to just click on anything. I mean, what if I blow the whole internet up? What if I am trying to link to Amazon (which I don’t have a clue how to do!) and I wipe out Amazon. Don’t laugh! It can happen. Remember War Games? See. My husband on the other hand just randomly clicks away. He created my twitter name. So now it looks like this @LYNDABESTER. Right? Yeah. But it is kinda cool cause it stands out.
So yeah. I desperately need a step by step instruction page (with pictures please) that basically says
1) Now put your finger on the mouse pad thingy (you can use the real word, I don’t mind as long as you give a details explanation) and swiggle it until you reach….ya get the picture?
I am hopelessly inept at this! I took the huge giant step into the unknown when I loaded my book on Smashwords and you know what went wrong (yes I know they have concise instructions, but there were no pictures!) Are you ready for this?
My ISBN number was now the title of my book. Talk about your OMF moments! Gosh I nearly pee’d myself. Well I did a bit but that was from laughing. I was just imagining the poor prospective reader looking at the book and thinking….well what would you think?
So yeah, I am quite helpless and hopeless and (please insert all the clichés here that you can think of) and begging for a light at the end of the blog tunnel. (that sounds like a plumber term. Snort)
My second book is due out in Feb and I don’t have a blog or a webpage or a facebook page….so I can’t get interviewed, or post really interesting thing like…well you know. Interesting things. Or do blog hops – which sounds really intriguing – or even quote inspirational quotes or…well you get the picture. Please tell me you get the picture. (yeah I have a thing for pictures!)
So I am sending the call out for help. If anyone out there has a ‘how to create a blog for dummies’, please just let me know what it says. Or better yet, you can retype it and send it to me.
