BZZZZZZTTTTTCHHHHH!

That's the sound of my brain fizzling and sizzling when I tried to migrate my blog from its current home to Blogger's home (can't FTP any longer to the server in my son's basement in Portland). It's supposed to be quite simple. But geeks just don't speak non-geek. Within a minute, I was frozen. What's a CNAME? Example provided is "www." Oh, I don't have that www-thing. Do I need it? Do I need to change my URL? (I thought I was educated knowing what "URL" means.) The form has a blank for "New URL." Can I just write the same one? These are simple questions, but those who write the instructions don't even know they are out there, crying. I couldn't even take the first itty-bitty step on my own, even after watching the video, which right away used three or four terms completely alien to my experience.

I am so fucking lucky I have a son who knows all this shit and will help this weekend when I visit. What happens to all the people, enjoying their blogs up to now without need-to-know, faced with uninstructive instructions?
