Agh, the nightmare of navigating google+... or any social media settings.
All I want is a private blog that notifies my readers when I publish an essay, which at a minimum, is every Tuesday, by the way. When I finally sat to read about creating a blog, I started with Wordpress. What a fucking labyrinthine, rabbit warren of a corn maze of neverending alleys, byways and wormholes of information. There are people out there for whom navigating these sites is intuitive, even dare I say, pleasurable. I would rather find something that makes my eyes bleed.
An hour and desperate phone call later to my computer savvy BFF, I'd found Google's Blogger. Simpler? For sure. Yet, still a struggle for me.
So I start my blog but soon figure out that Google really doesn't want me there on Blogger. So passe'. No it's all about Google +. OK, I'm game. I want my blog and won't be cowed by technology. They want you on Google+ sharing, sharing, sharing!!
I soon find myself in a mess of "circles" and "sharing" and the worst, "default public settings." NO, I don't want this!! Writing about my ADHD is difficult and vulnerable and I don't want anyone but of my choosing to be able to access it. I love my family and friends but I'm not ready to share this.
I'm proud to say that I did manage to create an "ADHD Essays" blog circle and have made it private. Not only that, I've hidden who is on that list from public viewing.
If you see otherwise, let me know.
Oy.
