While it too early to have Frequently Asked Questions, that seemed a good place to put some notes.
Hey, Gus, what is this all about anyway?
The Old Newbie Project started with my own personal struggle to enter the computer age. At first, I read and tried a lot of things with limited success (failure is not a word in my lexicon.) Soon I found I could do a lot with the help of resources I found and a bit of trial and error. I also found a lot of the documentation was more confusing than helpful, but I wasn’t alone in that. Meeting friends with varying levels of experience, I discovered that sometimes the most knowledgeable person was often the least able to explain without getting an old newbie lost in the process. Encouraged by friends, I began trying to make what I’d learned more accessible - primarily through personalized demonstrations and direct ‘hand holding’ as a newbie tries to grasp something.
Ground rules, Guidelines or TOS
Like most of my work I write for Seniors who are old and wise enough to admit computers and the Net are new territory to them, - hence the name Old Newbie. Although my audience is mature, I prefer to keep it safe for all ages. So it goes without saying that although your frustrations with a computer problem, your ISP or any of a thousand things may make you want to curse or plot mayhem on software makers, computer manufacturers, your cable or phone company, family members or strangers on the street, or, worst of all, me — PLEASE refrain. Courtesy and civility is expected.
To some, getting around a blog may be new. I’ve provided several Themes to choose from that may make the display better for you. The various posts (or articles) can be accessed by Categories or from the Calendar by date. You’ll find useful links on the navigation on every page (depending on the Theme you choose position varies.) As the number of entries grow, the Search feature will become more useful in finding exactly what you seek.
A blog is more than a exercise in self-publishing — it allows you to comment, to ask questions, to point out problems or share your experiences — good or bad. Blogs can be used as Content Management Systems which allow others (besides myself) to start threads or articles. In time I hope to have other authors contributing.
So how does that work?
Wherever you see the Comment link, you are free to add your input. The Leave a Comment window includes simple tabs for formatting your message. It asks for a name (a nickname will do) and an email address (which will only be seen by me and I do not use them unless you request a personal answer) and it also allows you to leave a link to your home site if you choose. I will read and approve comments as soon as I can, but I will also reserve the right to edit out any inappropriate or offensive material. I will not publish advertisements. I’ve chosen to require an email, rather than to allow anonymous posting to reduce the amount of spam that might otherwise find its way onto the blog.
Do I have to register? Is this gonna cost me money?
No, to both. 
The information and help I offer is given freely, in gratitude to those who helped me. Registering will provide you a shortcut to leaving comments. The system will allow you to choose a password and after logging in you can get a different (behind the scenes) look at the blog. There are no hidden pages that are available only to registered viewers (links to technical Word Press related sites and articles may be there, but no additional material of mine and no information about fellow users that is not ‘out front’ for all to see.) You might prefer the links to the latest articles added, but the presentation is a bit drab.
