Too Many Steps

I don't get it?.... Why so many steps to just post a blog? Why go through so much? I wanted to create a space here so my friends, from MSN/ Windows Live, could try to connect with me and I connect with them.
First of all, blogspot do not have a way to connect with people, you want to keep in contract from another space. So I have to notification them myself that I am here... and of course, I have to make sure I have some king of website or blog link for them to find me - whatever and wherever that is. There is no search engine or find button here to look for them and vise versa. So I have been going around and around.
One person recently emailed me where I could find her - don't know how she got her website link to her space here? Interesting... I made sure I became her "follower" - such a cult word or one of those constantly annoying advertisement postcard to subscribe to a maganize or newspaper. Now we have to "subscribe" to "follow" a friend. :/ ... Or is it they can't use the words friends, neighbors, guests, invite, support, contributation, constituents of one's space, or company because other website spaces are using those words that they fear a lawsuit or they have a lack of imagination of the usage of words? :/
Well, at least I have two as my "followers". :)
I wanted to renamed my blogspace. I named it Lady Grace for now because I wanted people I know from another space to find me here easier. :/ I don't free this space is a Lady Grace space. It's not friendly/ easy use or meeting people - so no use renaming this space like the one I have. It is more like a publishing writings - not personal thoughts & experience and more like a thrift store - setting up design, waiting for people, and displaying your work. It's weird! Although, it is a nice place for this sort of internet activities. :) When I blog my entrepuer business, I had amazing blog, designs, and display.
I changed my blogspace here from entrepeur business to personal website space now. So I am creating a blog.... again, does it need to have so much steps and take up time. I believe too much steps is confusing. My title, Too Many Steps, came up when I was going through the designing my blog - not have written it yet. Anyway, I gave it a title, create a link so my friends would find it easier, and afterwards took me to design. Aren't you suppose to write, edit, and then design your blog? Right.... how would I get the feeling of designing my blog if I have not written anything yet? :/ Don't they have to relate together? Okay.... so I pick a design that looks - well, technical. Then I added a bar of videos (I only wanted one!), of The Art of Noise, in particular, Paranoima. For all who don't know me well, I could be very sarcastic especially when another's idiocy come into play creatingsocial injustice or hardship to other.
Was I finished? No. I went to layout so I could edit the blog - not the space on how I would want it to look. WHERE is the place I could FINALLY blog... or does blog have a different meaning and way here? Round and round I go until I look up and saw "Posting." I figure, "What the heck! I sure I have time to navigate my way around here. (YEAH, RIGHT!) Lucky, I did came here and now am ending my blog. Hopefully it would be posted and be able to be read. Too many steps!

  2. It's always confusing when you come to a brand new place to blog and nothing is like you are used to. Me too. What I am going to do to "follow" you is: I cut your blog address from the browser.. http://altagracia-vasquez.blogspot.com and when I go back to MY blogspot blog, I will bring up my "Dashboard" and after I have done that, I will scroll down till I see where it says, on the left hand side bottom of a list.."ADD" There I will paste the address I have for you and follow the simple instruction to follow. That's it. You do NOT have to do "friend connect" unless you want to. Follow me the same way, click on my name below..come to my blog..copy my address on top in your browser..come back to your blog, go to your dashboard and add my address and follow the simple instruction. You can do that with each person. And, welcome, my friend.
