What do you get ...

when you cross something a bit more complicated than "point & click" and someone with little patience for things a bit more complicated than "point & click"? You get me. Now, I wouldn't call myself a "techno-idiot", but when my techie friends start talking code and initialization and things like that, my eyes do glaze over and I turn into Charlie Brown and all I hear is "wha wha wha wha whaaaa". On a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being "how do I program my VCR?" and 10 being "this application sucks, I'll rewrite the code so it works", I'm about a 5.

Now, for some reason, getting that "Receive posts in your e-mail" box on a blog requires the know-how of someone who is at least a 6. When the steps start looking like this:
to get one simple thing done, I go into a "panic mode" - OK, maybe it's not that bad - but I end up looking at the "instructions" and the best I can come up with is "huh?"

So after a lot of trial & error, some coaching from MJ, several curses and the near death of my laptop, I got it done. The final step is for some of you to actually enter your e-mail addresses into that little box. Humour me people - even if you don't read my posts, put your e-mail address in the little box.
