Bad luck or technologically illiterate?

Thank you to all of you who left comments on here. I guess I should explain why I have not posted. All of my friends and family could tell you that I am not the most technology oriented person in the world. For instance, I recently bought an mp3 player thinking that it couldn't be that hard to figure out. I tried and tried but for the life of me could not figure out how to download anything onto it, even with my Dad's help. The only thing that I could use it for was to listen to the radio, but it wasn't to long until that too stopped working, so there it sits in the closet untouched. We also bought a printer recently and me, trying to help Brent ( or just not wanting to wait on him) decided to install it and set it up. Well, I had the instructions and I followed them to a T, but somehow it wouldn't work. So the printer got shoved into the back room until just the other day when Brent decided that it had sat back there long enough and he put his had at trying to get it running. Right away, it worked. No reinstalling or anything.
So with that kind of history you can see why I was a little skeptical about trying to blog, after all if something went wrong I wouldn't know how to fix it. I finally decided that I needed to try. I set up my account and proceeded to completely make my blog look terrible trying to figure out how it all worked. Well, somewhere along to way I got out of my dashboard and when I tried getting back into it, you guessed it, I couldn't get into it. Finally with the help of my Mom figured out that I had to verify my email address first, but as much as I tried I was not getting the email for me to be able to verify it. So I gave up on it for a little while and last night much to my surprise they let me in, so hopefully that is the end of my blogging problems. So, I guess maybe I'm not jinxed after all.
