Okay, so maybe I'm not a true Luddite, but heaven knows I'm first cousin to one.
I am very clueless, and have no idea how to incorporate pictures into a blog. Heck, I had owned my cell phone for 2 years before someone taught me how to take pictures on it. Downloading them and posting them -- well, I call this the most boring blog in the world for many reasons, and my lack of ability to make this pretty is one of them.
Maybe, if we can find all of the right wires and such, one of my kids can figure it out.
