Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

It’s said that you’re never too old to learn, and today has proved that. Bad weather has kept me indoors and as a result I’ve been writing articles for Trevor’s website www.gites-with-pools.co.uk . As you’ll know if you’re reading this I’ve also started a blog so that I can share these articles with anyone who’s interested, and keep you all (all might be a bit grand) informed of the goings on here in “La Belle France”. I’ve tried Facebook but it doesn’t give me the space that I need, so I’ve joined such illustrious figures as John Prescott and started blogging.

Now I don't know about you but whatever I do I want it to look professional, with photographs and the like. I’m pretty reasonable on the computer so I thought I’ll be able to crack this blogging lark, so I tried and I tried and I tried. I could get the text up I could even get the pictures up, but I just couldn’t manoeuvre them into the right positions. I must have wasted an hour trying in vain to re-position three photos, then the phone rang and it was that well known webmaster Trevor. Within 5 minutes he’d taught me how to manipulate the photos and how to create links. I would still have been trying now without his help, so thanks Trevor you’re a legend. It just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks after all.
