I view other people's blog and I am amazed at the extra stuff people put on them.  I am not technologically deficient, but I'm more a googler than a programmer.  But I wanted to add a list of books we're reading to the right hand column of my blog. 

 I carefully entered the template area of my blog.  I've been in there before to update pictures, but the help section was pretty specific on those instructions.  I saw combinations of words, letters and characters that I've seen before.  That is usually when my hubby is sitting at my computer and I'm standing over him while he says, "This is the part of the computer you should never venture into by yourself."  I obey as the submissive wife that I am (yeah, right).  Okay I'm working on that one, but opinionated women run in my family. 

I copied the code of what I thought I'd need to use.  After a few previews and a few tweaks I had done it.  I did a little happy dance in my chair.  I made my hubby come and look.  He looked at the template language and was fairly impressed. 

So I'm happy now.  I have the books that my son and I are currently reading.  Two we are reading together.  One is mine alone and one my son is reading on his own. I even know how to update them too.  So while computer programmer may never show up on my resume I do feel like I accomplished a little learning today.
