Thank you, Kathy! I've copied the lin, but is there any place, on THIS SITE, to store it, for future use?

No, as its an external link, however, if you go to this link and click on the star you can save it. Free Images, free photo's, free cliparts, free pictures Also, type in "free images" into the search bar and you'll find lots of other resources which you can "star" for later use. :)

Thans, again, Kathy! I know about google images, and yahoo images, so finding images is not really the problem. First, what are you speaking of, when you type "star"? What is that? And where and how does adding a star, save the image for me? The second thing is, how do I go about importing the image to WA? And then, how do I go about inserting it in my website? Any thoughts about any of that?
: -) J

Ah right, your question now sounds different from the one you posted!

You don't upload images to WA you upload them through your Dashboard in Wordpress, here is some training. How To Add Images To A WordPress Blog The "star" serves the same function as bookmarking a website. If you find some training or blog that is helpful you can save it here to refer back to. Here are screenshots to show you how. http://screencast.com/t/iaGK6JpVod4J

If you need more help adding images just shout, or use the question bar, you'll find lots of resources for finding and adding images there. :)

Thans, AGAIN, Kathy!

But here's ANOTHER one, for you! You've got to understand that I'm NOT computer literate!

You say that a "Star" is like a "bookmark"! That's fine! And I believe you! But, what's a Bookmark? J

I'm back! I have another question. When you're speaking about "Dashboard", are you refering to the "Activity Dashboard" that's located ABOVE, and TO THE LEFT, of where you're reading this message? Or some OTHER dashboard? Somebody else talked about some dashboard, and included a "Screen Shot" link, to show me what she was talking about. But it was some OTHER "Dashboard" image, and I've never been able to find THAT dashboard!

And, as long as I'm here, and asking, What's "WordPress"? And how do I USE IT, to build my website? Do you kno0w where I mcan find any training on THAT?

Thanks! : -) J

Oh I'm sorry, I assumed you had been going through the training.

You have a dashboard here, but you also have a different dashboard where you build your website. Like your car, a dashboard is only the place where the controls are.

As for bookmarks, don't worry about that for now, as long as you can understand how to save what you want here (as I showed in the screenshots) then thats fine.

Start going through the training and follow it step by step, completing the tasks given at the end of each lesson. All will become clear as you go along. :) Getting Rolling!

Thanks, Sweetheart!

I'm trying to do all the training! But I'm having problems, with that.

As an example, in Bootcamp, Course 1, Lesson 1, Kyle tells us to share (and he's NOT clear, to me, anyway, WHAT we're supposed to share! I think it's my link) with at least three places! Now, that would be all fine and good, IF he bothered to tell us WHAT we're supposed to,share! And HOW to go about sharing whatever it is, that we're supposed to share! But, HE DOESN'T! That one's had me stumped for a week, now!

I'd LOVE to follow the lessons, step by step! But, APPARENTLY, I don't KNOW enough, about this, and/or computers, to DO that!

And, thank you! I FINALLY managed to FIND the dashboard, in my SiteRubix website pages. But, the blog I'm trying to edit, isn't PART of my website! It's in my blog that I reach by clicking on the pen icon.

But I'm struggling on!

Maybe, HOPEFULLY, you'll get a smile, from this. I choose it, because I've been asking so many questions.


So Much To Ask


The night desends
And takes away
The colors
Of another day.

And I am left
To wonder why.
Why do we live?
Why do we die?

When all we know
Is loneliness.
A life cut off
From all the rest.

It seems to be
No simple thing.
I know no tune
No song to sing.

Whose rhyming words
Might calm my fear.
Or speak to you
And call you near.

And so allow
Our minds to meet!
Two souls entwined!
'twould be so sweet.

To know that I
Am not alone!
To find, at last
My heart, a home.

A warming hearth
To sit beside.
A caring heart
To there abide.

Is that so much
For me to ask?
I wonder why
It's such a task?


Bye-bye now! : -) J

James this is bookmarking and I have provided information on how to do this in another post for you.

Thank you, MR! But I have this problem with your suggestion! What, and Where is the "Search" option? Thanks! : -) J

Hi The search bar is at the top of the page here, where you see the little magnifying glass. Just type a few words in there and you will see various replies come up. Select the one that best matches your question.

Thank you! I'm sorry that I'm such an ignorant person, about all this computer stuff! But I was probably over 40, when the first personal computer was built. And I just BARELY can use one! I don't know the lingo, and I've never had anybody to teach me. So, basically, the only thing I know how to do, is email. J

It's a steep learning curve for sure but you will pick it up over time, the more you are immersed and ask questions in google also you will find answers to most of your queries except for what is the meaning of life, from there on its all theory ; )

STEEP? I'm stumbling around in the DARK! But PART of MY problem, is NOT being computer literate! I'm still plugging away! But I'm wondering if I'm EVER going to get a website built! Once I can get one up, and running, any others should be a walk in the park! But this first one has me chasing my tail! J

It can't be rushed unfortunately, it has to be understood from the ground up. You can always hire a computer literate individual and offer them a commission on any money you may make to cut initial costs. Utilise your strengths, manage your weaknesses to speed things up maybe?

I notice you are doing bootcamp, maybe start with the get started course for a refresher?

Thanks, Mom! I'll start accessing those links right away. : -) J

Thank you. I'll do that! : -) J

Hi Helen

I finally found (by ACCIDENT) the "dashboard" in your link!

But, yeah, the blog I'm trying to edit, is on my profile page.

But, since I've found the Website dashboard, maybe you can tell me something about THAT! I had the SiteRubix build me a website. But, now, I'm trying to figure out how to put MY STUFF - INTO that website! And, I'm reading something about Blogs, there! But I haven't figured out if I write a blog, there (And I haven't figured out HOW to do that, yet.), will it show up, on my website, somewhere? Ot how to create things, and put them ON/IN my site. Or how to arrange whatever I put there, the way I want it to appear.

I'm just FULL of questions!

But, yeah, he blog I want to edit, is on my profile page. But I appreciate, your trying to help. I just don't know if I know enough, about ANY of this stuff, to actually end up with a website, eventually.

But I'm STILL plugging away! J

The best thing I have found is use the term blog for your profile ones and the word post for you website ones. Some people use them interchangeably but that gets really confusing!
As for your questions, isolate each question. Firstly use the need help bar to ask each one. Also it is very important to make sure you follow all the lessons. I haven't done a siterubix for a while so there are more people out there that can help with that.
Anyone can do a website. It just may take you longer.
Finally until you sort out how to put things on your website work on Word. You can copy stuff from there when you are ready to.

Thanks AGAIN, Helen!

But I have some questions about you message.

I can see that using DIFFERENT TERMS for things can be advantageous, but you say "word post" for my "website" information. Can you please EXPLAIN what you mean by "word post"?And you tell me about that WITHOUTusing the term "blog"? I'm at a stage where I want to start adding content to a website. But I don't know how to do that.

And I keep seeing comments about "blogs" that seem to imply that blogs are something I can create/write, and add my/a link to, then send out to various "audiences" on the web. OR, that I use blogs to add content to my website. Can you tell me anything that will help clear up "blogs" for me?

And, at the end, you say that until I understand how to "build" my website, I should work on "Word". What's "Word"? And why should I focus on that?

And, since you mention "Word", I might as well ask you about this, as I've read it, what sems like 22,714,986 times, since I've been on this site! What's "Word Press"? Why is it important, to me? And HOW do I use it? And WHAT do I "DO" with it, after I learn HOW to use it?

Thanks, AGAIN, Helen, for whatever you can tell me, about any of these things! Bye now! J

Thank you, Helen! Actually, I THINK I saved it as a draft, when I first started it. I KNEW I'd want to add some more, later. But I'm not sure of that, so I'll have to see. But, here's ANOTHER question, if you have a minute! Is there some method, that I can save your message somewhere, and be able to look at it, again, later, so I don't have to mask this question, again, until I've done it enough times to remember it? Thans again! You're a sweetheart! J

Hi Helen

I've been trying to follow your directions, but I'm having some problems. I've clicked your "View Image" for the dashboard, and the post, but when I click my "Activity Dashboard" I don't get what your image shows. What I get, is, basically, the same thing I had BEFORE I clicked the "Activity Dashboard", ecept the center panel of my page changes into a column of comments by other members. I don't get your dashboard with "Home", "Updates", "All in one SEO", and "Posts", etc. So I can't select "Posts"! So, what am I doing wrong? I'm wondering if it might be that I'm NOTdoing my clicking on the WP-Admin area. But my peoblem with that, is that I don't know what "WP-Admin" is! Or where I access it! So, do you have any suggestions, about this? Thanks! : -) J

Bookmark it. I took a screen shot of the top of this page (see attached). When you open a blog you will see just under your title an empty star. Click on this and it turns yellow. When you do this a drop down box appears under it asking you to enter a tag. This is how you find it later. I always put the first word in this tag as the most important word in what you are looking for. An example for this blog would be 'bookmarking how to do'. Later when you want to see your book marks go up to the right of the 'need help' bar. Click on the empty star there and lo and behold all your bookmarked items appear.

Thank you, Steph!

I appreciate that you're trying to help me! BUT I know NOTHING, about doing ANY of this! And I know NOTHING about operating computers, either! You need to gear EVERYTHING, for the deaf, dumb, and blind, with me!

What's my "Dashboard"? And HOW do I find this "WP-Admin"?

Sorry! : -) J
