I ‘LIKE’ it !!!!!!

By MsDilemma | August 17, 2010

Right now I am feeling a little happy with myself.

You see, I have just spent four hours trying to work out how to add the Facebook ‘like’ button to my blog.

Yes, I said FOUR hours.

You see, when I decided to start up this little blog I was going to set it up through blogger. I was discussing this with my friend at work Adam as he’s a bit of a technology geek (heh heh, he will kill me for that) and has started quite a few of his own websites.
He made the suggestion I go with WordPress .

‘Cause I am gullible, a glutton for punishment, respect Adam’s opinion, I went with his suggestion. Plus he stupidly kindly offered to help me with the admin side of things to help me out. Poor Adam….if only he really knew what he was getting himself into.
You see, I consider myself computer savvy, being able to work my way around a computer pretty well and (usually) I can get myself out of little hiccups along the way…………but holy bejebus……….you almost need to be a computer engineer to understand the technical side of WordPress.
Alright, I exaggerate, BUT you really do need to be able to think outside the box to be willing to understand what all the terminology means.

I mean seriously, AKISMET????? WIDGET?????? PLUGINS???? are you right with that MR WORDPRESS????

So when my friend Rachael suggested the other day that I put a FaceBook ‘like’ button on my blog for people that may be lazy not have the time to leave a comment, I thought ………yep let’s do it……. why the hell not.
I feel like i want to torcher myself and
PULL MY HAIR OUT AND SCREAM AND SHOUT AND SWEAR AT THE WORLD!!!

As my personality leans a little to the side of …….it can’t be that hard, I will just give it a little try rather than bug Adam to help me do it……..IT WON’T BEAT ME!!!*cough*…………. I threw myself into it this morning.
Which nearly ended up with me having a kanipshin fit right in the middle of my work place floor in front of just a few (100) colleagues.
But I would not give up and finally ………….FINALLY……………after many expletives, a five few cups of coffee and not much work actually being done
(oh and my work colleague Adrian letting me bash his arm a few times)
I DID IT.

Look down and you will see my hard work.

AND…YOU BETTER LIKE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHA
