Re: First Post
uujudy,
Welcome and please do not be embarrassed. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have not been able to figure out what I am doing when trying to post.
In the beginning I had no idea how to edit anything, and I could only stare helplessly at my glaring typos after I had sent them on their way.
One evening I just threw myself on the mercy of the board. I felt like that woman in that Tennessee Williams play or whatever it was who said, "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." (You have to read that line aloud with a deep southern accent to get the full effect.) - oh and btw, I digress here often.
The people here on TOTV are indeed kind strangers. They led me through it. Who knew that "modify" is a synonym for "edit"? And I also found out how to delete something that I could no longer live with.
I also know what you mean about losing stuff. Not too long ago, I wrote a post here about "The Evil Mouse" asking others if they ever had the same problem with making one false move and losing everything. Be careful with "Preview" because it can be pretty intolerant of being clicked on. Oh, and btw, "Preview" is up at the top of all those little faces and things. I could not find it for the longest time. And I still don't know what some of those little pictures up there mean.
But I have managed to muddle through and have posted far too many times. I have never been on a board before. But the winter here has been long and dreary and cold and snowy. And my computer is in my kitchen. I pass by it too often.
So anyway, you will be just fine here. And please, ask away.
Boomer
