I have to shake my head at myself sometimes when I think about how I am about this. 🙂 There are times when I have no problem asking for help…depends on what it is and what kind of help it is. There are some things that make me cringe to have to ask help with, and I really don’t want to do it. It’s an issue of pride, really.
Anyway, I remember as a girl growing up, my mother would be trying to teach me how to cook, and she was very much a hovering sort when she did it…it was always, “No…you have to do it this way!” I’d get upset sometimes and stomp off and say, “Just do it yourself, then!” (Yes, I was a difficult child.)
I’m still that way sometimes, with some things. I’ll be hard at work trying to figure something out, really wanting to do it myself, and someone will come along and tell me how to do it and it really irritates me. I’m like…”I can do this myself! What? You think I’m stupid or something?” Not that I necessarily use those particular words in response, but it’s what I’m thinking.
And other times I ask for help with things because I know I’m a dummy at it, or really appreciate when someone comes along and offers to help me when I don’t particularly want to ask, maybe. And I’ll add that I’ll be the first one to object to the thought that someone thinks I’m a dummy. Ha ha! But I’m not particularly savvy when it comes to technical things…and in some ways I am kind of a dummy with it. So I do appreciate help with those things.
Finding the balance in this area…I need to do that. I’m adding that to my list of things I need to work on. And as far as figuring out how to add the blogs I follow to my home page here…still haven’t done so. I went through all the widgets and several other places. Word Press can be quite confusing, I’m finding. 🙂 (sigh)
Have a blessed day!

The easiest way to add a link to your blogroll is simply go to your dashboard page, scroll down on the left side till you come to links, hold your mouse over it until you see the add new and click on it, then simply follow the directions there! God bless!
So do you have to add each address that you follow individually? I still can’t make it happen. I already have the blogroll put on my page now, but it has various other links that just appeared on there.
Yes you have to add each one separately, but just click on the link icon and add the name and address of a blog and then click on add link. That is all there is to it!
Thank you! After much scrounging around through various links in here, I figured that must be the way, unless I was missing something. I appreciate your help very much! I’ll do it eventually, but just didn’t feel like going through all that right now. I was hoping for one of those ‘one click and it magically appears’ things. 🙂
LOL, I am just happy that I was able to answer your question. I am 60 and still learning how everything works!
Ha ha! Yes, I used to think when I was younger that someday I’d have all the answers. And in the end, that would take a lot of the fun and surprise out of life anyway. 🙂
And the funny thing is that I could’ve gotten it done if I would’ve spent that time doing that instead of searching around and trying to figure out where a ‘one click like magic’ thing was. Ha ha! That’s me though. (rolling my eyes) 🙂
