Today…

Trying out a new blogging software, which is open source and hopefully will connect to my blog…. And wow! It works! Why am I so surprised? Because I’m a complete newbie with Linux and haven’t a clue what I’m doing, so it’s all trial and error.

I bought a Linux magazine today which eulogised over some blogging software, but although I downloaded it, I’m completely unable to install it. However, help was at hand. Not with that particular software, but I then began browsing in the apps which are bundled with Ubuntu and which you can choose to install or not, and randomly clicked on one which sounded promising – there were half a dozen to choose from. The advantage of these included software programmes is that they install themselves with no help (or hindrance) from me, and lo and behold! It works! And is so easy to use.

I’m fairly gobsmacked, but it just goes to show, as I’ve said many times before,  there is a God after all.
