I've had a right day of it as far as technology is concerned. In the same day that I switch from Broadband via ethernet on my durable but tired, circa-2007 PC to superfast wifi, I have been working out how to use my new wee laptop and find my way round Windows Apps for the first time. Ok, I'm showing my age now aren't I..but I'm not as old as I sound! Really.
Artists can be funny. Some of us don't always remember to keep up with electronic goods and gadgets until they break. And we are allergic to reading instruction manuals. I fall into that category of artist who is not naturally techy minded. But any Etsy seller and blogger will tell you how you are forced to become more tech savvy and ready to work things out when you launch yourself into the world of online sales, marketing and blogging. I will not be beaten by a bit of hardware, software or anything downloadble, uploadable, pluginable or anything-else-able. So there!
I'm finally up and running again and proud of myself despite a few close calls where it was a choice between pulling my hair out or banging my head against the wall. I've got a little bald patch now. But all is well with my online world again....just need to work out why I can't upload photos from my camera now...it can't be that hard.....
