Tech Klutz (2)

The day started out like any other, peaceful and filled with promises of a nice new day. A blank slate waiting to be filled in. It was raining and the forecast called for rain all day long. It looked gloomy outside, dark and gray as a fall day sometimes looks like. Walking was out of the question so I decided to do what I normally would not attempt on my own.

I had a video of my book and decided to upload it. The folks at WordPress were really helpful and they had the patience of a saint! They needed that dealing with a tech klutz like yours truly! However, they kept their cool and tried walking me through the steps, one patient step at a time. All to no avail! The video didn’t want to cooperate and no matter what we did, we couldn’t get it uploaded. Frustrating? Absolutely. I spent half a day fooling with something I had no idea about, however, I did learn a few things along the way, don’t ask me what. I’ve forgotten already!

Anyway, we finally found out that the video was too large and get this, it needed to be compressed! What?!! I wanted to scream but they said, “No problem, we’ll try it another way.” After five different ways, still no success. There was no compressing anything! It (the video) refused to budge and preferred being the size it was!

I finally gave up and told them, I will get a tech person to come in and help me get this right. Later on today the person will show up and I hope he or she is a pro and can get the issue fixed without messing up my computer!

Kudos to the folks at WordPress. Thank you for your patience and your understanding. Did I drive you up the wall? I probably did but that’s because computers and tech klutzes don’t go together. We only tolerate each other!

Update:

Tech person did a great job and we found out that I needed to be a Premium member to get the video uploaded! So got that done and as you can see the video is up and running! 👍👍👍
