I feel so computer illiterate it isn't funny! I knew a little about computers oh, around 1998 - I even built my own geocities page and I was so proud of it. I was on list servers and newsgroups .... unfortunately, computer technology has really changed since then but my knowledge has NOT! Anyhow, I spent about an hour trying to add an avatar to my profile on one message board tonight. I just couldn't make it work - even with the FAQs. So I had to call my 16 year old to help - it turns out I was reading the FAQ for adding a personal icon not an avatar... duh! He fixed it in about 5 minutes. He also made a customized personal signature for me for my parenting message board in about 5 minutes AND took out my 5 year old's red eyes. He even helped me when I set up my facebook account. I had reservations about joining facebook - it seemed silly to message someone on facebook so it could email them to check their message when I could simply email them to begin with - but I've been enjoying the applications this weekend. I especially like my snowman and my Christmas tree. And, I admit, it is fun to send drinks and gifts to my friends - not to mention baking them virtual pies or going on virtual sleigh rides!
