I thought I was so clever :) We were going to be away for a few days so I set up my posts to automatically appear (in the blogger instructions this is called scheduling). Very handy. I love this feature with my online banking so I can post date a payment and then file the bill away instead of keeping it on my desk and having to remember to pay it on the day I want.
I played around with it and figured out how it worked. At first I missed a step. After setting up the date and time I wanted it to post on I needed to actually press the "publish" button. When I looked in my list of blogs then it showed as "scheduled" instead of "draft".... Aha! I had discovered the missing link! So, I proudly saw this work successfully and decided to do it again.
I was surprised this morning to see that my intended post for yesterday, about a great TED talk I wanted to share, was not posted :( It was waiting there as a draft because I had forgotten one critical step - pressing the Publish button. It was so obedient - only doing what I had asked, not anticipating what I meant to do but did not "ask" for it to do. Once I get to be clear in what I want from technology and get good at asking for what I want I am sure we are going to be very good friends!! I will "keep you posted" (pun intended) on the progress of our friendship :)
