Tech troubles

Got a call from a fan this evening.
She wondered, Why haven’t I posted a new column in several days?
Good question.
It’s not for lack of material.
Fact is, I’m having some problems uploading photos.
This whole blog thing is not exactly a natural fit for me. I’ve needed lots of help from both my sons to become even mildly blog savvy.
I have a column ready. I considered just putting it up sans art.
But it would be oh-so much better with the pictures.
No way am I posting it as text only.
Sorry.
In a couple days, the technical problems will be overcome. I’ve been assured of this by my chief techie, who happens to be my son, Adam.
Back in July, Adam helped me step out of the Stone Age of bloggery by updating my WordPress and showing me how to upload photos.
When we run into problems neither of us can figure out, my younger son Abe is the troubleshooter. He’s the University of Michigan computer science major.
We think we’ve figured out why I no longer can put photos up.
Friday is D-Day for making the changes.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
The good stuff is piling up, waiting to be published.
