"VOF Week 3: (Learning to blog)"



Last year I had to face an unforgettable situation far from my country. I was in a meeting and I need to send an email but most of the people had laptops. Although I didn´t know how to use that type of computer, my need to send the email was stronger than my lack of knowledge. Such a small machine made me feel very nervous. Sliding my fingers to move the pointer, touching the keys was challenging for me. I think it took me half an hour to send a email. From that time up to now, I didn´t use a laptop again. To face new situations is always challenging, mainly if they are related with new technological tools. ¿A blog? ¿What does a blog mean? ¿What could I do with a blog? were some questions in my head. Changing the traditional format in some pages, adding color to the text, uploading pictures, video or music, are some of the topics which I think I don´t use as properly as I would like. Although I have asked about this, many answers were “You have to learn html”. If I can´t change the appearence of a text, I keep it as it is. When possible I can use pictures. I think I have to learn how to use new tools, try to find somebody who could help me. Situations are different. Here, most of the people use an internet cafe to send their mails or blog. Fort he moment, I use what is available but I will be happy to learn more about blogging.
