TIME FOR FEEDS

It is not

how much time we have

with which to do

all that we want to do

But how much we do

With what ever time we have

Having placed  my little lamb enclosed in theStitch in Time green pasture blog housed in my little Stitch to Patch Village, I gaily  went on to find "5 feeds" for my lamb under the impression that following the RSS guidelines, I could easily get the necessary feeds.  So off I went on the highway of the FREE Internet system provided in the Library.

Woe on me! to many of the new X-, Y- or Z- computer-literate generations,  it is a bullet-train ride for them without any  hassle.  For me, coming from the age when bullock carts, man-pulled rickshaws or bicycles were the common mode of transport other in addition to our own two legs, it is a bit hard to be on an expedition by the 21st-century fast Internet bulletin train, especially I stand the disadvantage of having poorer eyesight to read the signboards, more white matters than the grey matters in my poor brain, my reaction is  in slower motions...

Is RSS user-friendly Really Simple Syndicate to let me get the 5 feeds for my poor lamb?  Well I have to confess and admit with self-justification of my aging biological system that I have faced "problems".  The experience was like me boarding the first time the fast bullet train, showing my "passes" at several security gates and thrown among the massive commuters, eagerly looking for the signposts where to board or alight correctly.  I peered through the Windows up and  down, left and right, hanged on to the long-tail  mouse, pressed the little fellow to let me pause here and there in the exploration to reach the destinations  to gather the feeds as fast as possible before the bullet train pulled off again.  I did not realise I was on the Internet Explorer 7 till several failed attempts. Then computer guru Michael noticed my plight and came forward to offer help to me; following all the steps of the settings, scrolling, finding the goodies etc etc etc..then I failed, failed, failed and finally with his expertise, he kindly showed me his way to open the gates to the food galore of all the feeds in the world!. 

It  was a frustrating and yet also hilarious fun ride for me to press  this and that icon, buttons or  symbols,  out of my curiosity to get to slowly understand the usefulness of all types of icons and buttons,  assumed by  their creators that they are universal unspoken language, easy to comprehend by all young and old, computer-literate or illiterate alike.   But it took me longer time to get to know each of them more intimately, having to  press them one  by one. Well at least I  was still in control of that little long-tail mouse to stop whenever I wanted it to stop for me to to alight  in order to  explore a bit the maize field that popped up endlessly and led me gone astray at times too!

Now  the greatest mistake I had was my stupidity in my assumption that once I subscribed to the selected feeds, they would AUTOMATICALLY be delivered and plonked into my blog, forgetting that I need to open the gateway to a new blog for the safe delivery of the feeds.  Rang   the new generation computer expert Adrian, who  kindly redirected me on to the right path on how the feeds be delivered into my Stitch to Patch Village!  Happened to meet another computer-age pretty lass, Lizzelle who also gave me the tips to go to Design,  Posting, Edit  routes on this RSS exploration trip!  Thank you Michael, Adrian and Lizzelle for your kindness,holding my hands as I trotted along the highways and the lowways, through the mountains and valleys, rivers and streams...enriching the tapestry of my life journey!

Now my Free Internet PC is signalling me leave now with the counting out time. So "jaijian" (i.e. see you again) my fellow bloggers.

Addendum:

I posted and published this "Feed Time" but found that I was swimming in the deep blue sea of RSS and was too murky for me to take the right pathn.  Hopefully this time I am out of the winding path of RSS and can go on to the next journey

Hope to see you  fellow blog passerby at my next Wikis journey if I  can find my way through the antoher thick forest! (huh!Already encountered thorny problems, NO sound coming from the Wikis video clip on Common Craft site.... ????? when I tried to view the Plain English video on Wilkis...spent 30 minutes, failed failed failed to hear!!!  Something wrong with my hearing????

btw, if you find my wordy blogs too boring, please please DO NOT hesitate  NOT to open or read my rubbishy text, better save your precious  time to  do other more interesting fruitful things you long to do.
