As I’ve stated before, and I think I’ve stated it quite clearly, I am basically computer illeterate. I know how to e-mail, use google, and the basic programs that came with my computer (like Word, etc.) After some gentle prodding from some Lutherans I met while at a program for some non-violence training, I decided to create a blog. An old friend of mine had hosted a blog on WordPress and I was very impressed with the look of her blog and her blog entries. So my blog was created. Unfortunately I have no idea about the technical terms associated with having a blog and have been using the terms incorrectly. 
Today on her post, my friend decided to take me to task on the lack of my computer knowledge. I would like to share some of her entry for today to help all of you out there with the same computer problems as I. 
“My blog, entitled “Don’t…”, is hosted here at my website. Blog is short for weblog. As in a log, on the web. Now, a log is, among other things, a record of events. Each event is an entry in that log. A weblog is a set of entries, although they may not necessarily be events. This entry, entitled “Pet peeve 
”, is an entry or post. It is a blog entry. It is not a blog. It is a post on my blog. There are many posts or entries in my blog, but there are not many blogs on this website. There is only one. When you say, “My last five blogs have been nearly incomprehensible because I was smoking crack”, you are not saying your last five posts or entries have been incomprehensible. You are saying your last five, for lack of a better way of putting it, entire online journals (or whatever you use your blog for) have been incomprehensible. And that is probably not what you mean.
(Note to the good friend who told me this week that she’d dedicated a blog to me – you are excused, because you are you, although I have to tell you that your initial email scared the living crap about of me at first until I figured out what you meant 
)… Get it? Post/entry: part. Blog: whole….”
So ladies and gentlemen, that is our Computer 101 lesson for today. Thanks friend I have learned a lot! And now I’m going to tackle my e-mail!
