Day Two of Trying to Upload A File
So, I have been meaning to revamp my newsletter and slowly do away with my Yahoo group since it is always giving me fits and I only use it to distribute my newsletter. Such a simple and easy thing to do, right?
Well, maybe simple and easy for someone who can actually figure out how to create a PDF file from a Word Document on a Mac. Day One in the Great Newsletter Experiment was yesterday. I am happy to announce I rallied to victory over the evil machine that is my computer! Weee!
I have a newsletter! Yay! Not bad looking, either. Now for day two. Uploading the damn thing onto my website.
A friend told me I would need an FTP, which is a program created by pixies and monitored by daemon central control, or at least that’s how it seems.
I am supposed to simply drag and “drop” the file onto the icon image of the FTP program and it will merrily chirp away and send its bits up into outer space, then supposedly back down and into my website for readers to download and read as they choose.
This is perfect. What I have been looking for. Awesome. Okay, why isn’t it showing up? I have sent emails to the pixies and to daemon central control which is as you know Apple Headquarters help desk.
No, I did not buy their service plan. My machine is an ancient blue cube, truly an artifact from a byegone era, circa slightly after the Iron age.
If I ask again for computer help, the hubster will probably strangle me with the cords from his headphones which he uses to drown out my incessant whining about various topics. Like computers, my stupid scanner, my mother, lack of handicap parking spaces, my mother, the newsletter, our refrigerator which seems to only know how to deliver ice cubules the size of Manhattan, and of course, my mother.
I hope to upload my shiny, newly designed newsletter soon.
So keep your fingers crossed.
Cass
