I consider myself to be quite self-aware and I love so many aspects of the internet. You can check anything at any time. Is a shark a fish? Apparently, yes, it is. What exactly is the Brexit backstop? Well, that’s a story for another day.
What I discovered my new assignment was to set up a blog, I didn’t think I would enjoy it. New technology can be frustrating. I couldn’t find ‘WP Admin’ anywhere, I don’t believe it exists. The help section couldn’t help me. What should I customise? What should my blog look like? As I’m not a follower of blogs I don’t really know what’s expected. Blogs are just for marketing, fashionistas and influencers aren’t they?
Apparently not. They are for anyone passionate about a topic who would like to share. I can do that. While I have been writing this blog post I have already learned how to do lots of things in WordPress. Initially, it didn’t seem very intuitive. After an hour we started to get along. I understand it better now and it knows I’m approaching cautiously and is giving lots of prompts. I just got a congratulations email from WordPress for my first post. I feel appreciated.
I still don’t know where ‘WP Admin’ is or who to follow but I’m excited now to browse and read and like and share. I have my own little patch of the web to tend. Reflection is a positive thing, we should all be more mindful of what we are doing and what we have learned. This could be interesting after all!
