My first blog

Hello! Well, here we go. Being somewhat longer in the tooth, I suspect, than most folk taking part this is all alarmingly new to me. Why am I doing this? 1/Amazon voucher - I respond better to chocolate biscuits but a voucher will do :) 2/ So that I can understand what the merry heck all this stuff *is*.
Blimey, since last week I've embraced I-Google, discovered I have a Twitter account (goodness knows *how*, I have no recollection of *ever* creating one!) &, this morning, I have created a URL - not *entirely* sure what one of these *is* but I'm sure all will be revealed.
Moan number one (& I'm sure there'll be plenty) following instructions on screen is a tad wearing on the eyes of the more mature!
What do I hope to gain? The ability to look as if I know what my readers are talking about when they mention this stuff :)
