Frustration and other things.
It would appear that I haven't got the art of blogging under my belt yet. Last time I tried I spent ages discussing deep and meaningful as well as typing up some of my favourite biscuit recipes (cookies), only to find, that, somehow or other, I'd botched it. I guess one could be excused for failing once, but after trying to recapture my thoughts etc, I then botched my second attempt. Now, having - would you believe - a third go where I tried to be smart and attach a picture of a cardigan I knitted for my granddaughter Cheyenne and which has proven to be her favourite, I feel like the dumbest blogger in the Universe. However, I was determined not to be thwarted and to give up in disgust and found to my amazement that somehow most of what I wrote was hidden away as a draft, which just goes to show, wonders will never cease. I'm sure my very patient and wonderful D-I-L will be pleased. Especially as I won't have to bother her for enlightenment. I must admit that I'm not very courageous when it comes to investigating sites. Speaking of which, is there is a spell checker hidden away somewhere? Generally my spelling isn't too bad but when I'm at the keyboard it seems to go to pot. Actually I don't think its the spelling that's at fault but rather the typing. And come to think of it, a grammar checker would be a great help but I'm not hopeful that there is one of those lurking about. I think one of those would be a great way to pick up some of the horrible glitches one, or at least moi, is inclined to come up with. One thing I'd really like to know is, why is it that when one types letters etc. on a typewriter one rarely makes mistakes, but use a computer and ones spelling and grammar goes out the window and the worst part of it is that one doesn't catch up with the errors or whatever, until the email, post etc. is actually sent and it's far to late to correct it?

I think you're doing very well. I taught myself to use a computer a few years ago when I was mainly housebound caring for my 92 year old Father. I can't believe the number of online friends I've made (mostly craft-related)
I sometimes edit my posts even months down the track, after seeing spelling mistakes, or changing my mind about something I've written, or even adding extras.
Thanks for the advice Helen. I'll check out and see if I can correct the most grievous errors.
