Blogging Tips!!! Poetry please (or if you don't please)


Here I am, sat at my laptop, glass of wine next to me, trying to improve my blog.  I have searched a number of sites on 'how to' but, 'alas' I am obviously not intelligent enough or knowledgeable in computerspeak.  I thought I had done exceptionally well to set up the blog, use a template and add the odd photo (and even that was riven with problems - I kept either deleting ones I didn't want to delete or found the ones I had were much too big or too small!)  Believe me, I have and continue to try, but I am rather daunted by the number of others who obviously understood what was said in the tips offered by the Blog Doctor or other clever bloggers.

Instead of moaning on about my lack of skill and whether I really want anyone to read my blog - perhaps people won't like it and might leave rude comments about it etc. etc. I have put one of my poems in here.

Mother Mable - with apologies to Lewis Carroll
You are old, Mother Mabel,
  The young woman said
Put your teeth in a glass overnight
 And yet you continue to dance on the table 
Do you think at your age that is right?

In my youth, quoth the old one
  As she jumped on a bike
I had to be good and polite
  But now I am old and have no-one to please
I shall do whatever I like!
