I thought blogging was supposed to be easy

but it's not. The actually writing isn't hard, but the technical computer part is! I am fairly savvy with computers too, so I'm not sure why I'm confused. Maybe it's not enough coffee this morning.

Here are my problems:

1) the background options offered for blogger are dull. When I visit other blogspot sites I see pretty, customized personal backgrounds. How do I do that?

2) when making a link how do I make it come up with "You Capture" and not www.Ilikefoldinglaundry.com. I've seen other people do it, but I when I paste the link it puts it as is and doesn't give me an option to change the name

3) I am using the old editor because I like spell check and the new editor doesn't have spell check. Could that be my problem for #2 above?

4) How do I get my blog wider?

5) insert my twitter feed? (which by the way, I'm not sure I like twitter at all...but since everyone is doing it, I might as well jump right in)

Geez...this blogging is tough. (but fun! LOL) Now, if only I had a secretary to do all the technical while I just composed my witty thoughts about life. I can dream can't I?
