I am writing because I wish I knew how to use things like myspace, etc. and others. Even though I follow the directions, for setting up blog's, I have found that invited friends are un-able to access my comments. I wish I had someone who could explain all of this computer tech to me, but to use terms which regular people can understand. I have many ideas, and comments, I would like to share, with others but, for some reason, I never do it "just right" (from the computers point of view, atleast). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Why is it WRONG for web-site creation tools to use HUMAN English?

    Why is it so "WRONG" for web-site creation tools to list set up directions using basic, HUMAN, English?  What is wrong with on-line communications being the same as face-to-face communications?   Why is this a "crime"????

  • Where to find another blogging site?

    For some reason, Blogger.com has shut down access to its members.  Now, I need to find another site, where I can post my short story fiction, with a site which uses set up directions, which are listed in HUMAN English (NOT computer code).   I would set up a web-site, but the creation tools REFUSE to use HUMAN English, in set up directions.  Blogs are as close to human as I can understand.  Are there any blog sites which use HUMAN English in set up directions?

  • How can I get help with Windows 10?

    The problem is that I have just made the MISTAKE of upgrading from Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 10.

    Now, none of the sites, that I was regularly on, with 7, will recognize my passwords, with 10.

    Not to mention the fact that 10 is a "nightmare", for anyone without a computer programming degree.

    All answers in HUMAN English, PLEASE

  • What is web site verification?

    Although I want to place my content, on the internet, for readers to view, I cannot find a single site, which has instructions/directions, written in simple, ordinary, ENGLISH.

    I dont even know WHY I need to "verify" my "site".

    I mean, my site exists, but no one will explain, in simple English, WHY I am required to "verify" before the "search engines" will consider allowing the public to visit my sites, and my content.

    I need answers in simple, plain, ENGLISH.

    NO computer terms, PLEASE!!!!

  • Why does electoral history continue to be distorted?

    In a recent episode, of "Sleepy Hollow", when Lieutenant Mills is going to vote, while reminding Icabod Crane that, in colonial America, black people were not even allowed to vote, I noticed how Mr. Cranes expansion, on this subject was cut-off. He was NOT "electioneering". He was trying to provide a broader view, of history.

    What the man was NOT allowed to say, on air, was that, in the days, of colonial America, ONLY property owners (land, business, slaves) were allowed to vote.

    That, and parliamentary/government officials.

    What Icabod was, also, not allowed to mention was the fact that white children, like black children, were, for the most part, un-educated, in those early days.

    In fact, in most American communities, "public school" would not even exist, for almost 125 years AFTER Mr. Cranes death.

    In the days, of colonial America, if a town wanted its children taught the basics, of education, the local population HIRED European tutors. This meant that only the children, of those, who contributed to the cost, of hiring the tutor, received instruction.

    During this same time period, the rich, and powerful, of the colonial days, hired European Governeses (Now known as private tutors), to school young people.

    The vast majority, of Americans, white, as well as black, were neither educated, nor allowed to vote, primarily because these people were never taught the basics, of education.

    These people were farmers, and merchants, who bartered for what they wanted.

  • How FAR are hackers willing to go?

    For example, I have hackers do the following, to my e-mail accounts:

    1) Claim to be the president, of the US

    2) Claim to be foreign ministers

    3) Claim to have court summons, for me to complete

    4) Claim to be relatives, trying to make contact

    and so on.

    Sure, I know that law enforcement REFUSES to prosecute these criminals, but what I don't see is what "profit" is to be gained, by these hackers.

    They don't make any money, off of these attacks (which is what these messages are).

    The more, of these fake messages, I receive, the easier it becomes, for me to just delete such messages.

    I don't even bother reading about 90% of them.

    I just want to know what profit these trouble-makers hope for, by deceiving the public into thinking these people are court workers, police, or federal agents, or even family members?

    With the expenditure, of time, and energy, but no profit, where is the incentive, for these criminals to continue their FRAUD, by sending false messages?

  • How many ARK's were there, really?

    According to the Christian Bible, there was only Noah's ARK, whose contents were that of a single, white, Christian, family.

    But, what this does not address is the following:

    If only one family, of white Christians, survived the "Great Flood", then WHERE did Africans, Jamaicans, Asians, and the indian tribes, come from?

    Also, if only one, white, Christian, family, survived, then HOW, without centuries, of in-breeding, did this single family, re-populate the Earth?

    Equally important: If only Christians survived the flood, then WHERE did the Buddhists, Tao-ists, Jews, Islam, and other religions, came from?

    How can we be sure that the Bible is "accurate" when I have noticed that this book "skips" whole centuries, if not whole millennia, of planetary history. How much history has been left out of the Bible?

    IF the story, of the Great Flood, IS only being told, from the Christian point of view, then I have to wonder about what was left OUT of the Bible?

    Was Noah's ARK all alone, on the flood waters, or, is it possible that Noah's contacts, with other ARK's has, simply, been omitted, in order to restrain the Bible, to a single volume?

    What are the FACTS, not the "truth", about the flood, and Noah's ARK?

  • Why don't politicians tell the truth, about "Privatization"?

    Although every American knows that the Social Security trust fund takes in billions of dollars, per year, and uses these to buy Treasury bills, which earn interest, until the "bonds" come due, then this money is paid out, as retirement, and disability, benefits, to those in need,

    I have yet to hear such a concise, and defined, explanation, of "Privatization".

    Why do politicians try to make it sound like "Privatization" is an "alternative" retirement plan, when, in fact, Privatization is actually just taking ones money, and RISKING it, on the stock market.

    That's right: Unless the investor is lucky enough, to choose a winning stock, they could, very easily, walk into an investment, with $10,000, or $100,000, yet walk out, moments later, with just $10.00 in their pocket.

    This is why groups such as AG Edwards, and Merrill Lynch, advertise that investors should assess risk, PRIOR to buying stocks, or bonds.

    Yet I never hear politicians, especially those, who support "Privatization", giving the public such a clear definition, of what Privatization actually is.

    Why is the public NOT being told the simple fact that Privatization is NOT a "retirement plan". It is "playing the stock market", pure and simple.

    Unlike Social Security, there is NO guarantee, with Privatization, yet this information is NOT being given to the public.

    I really have to wonder WHY?????

  • Anyone up, for this deal?

    I am seeking a computer programmer who, for either $100.00, or $150.00, flat rate, OR for a portion, of site profits, from pay-per-view, would be willing

    to create a web-site, for me. A site on which I could post my "digital products", to search engines, for the public to view.

    I am not looking for fancy graphics, or any other, fancy, stuff (whose purpose I would not understand anyway). All I need is something SIMPLE, and BASIC, to post "digital products" on.

    How about it? Flat Rate? or a portion of site profits?
