Watching The Chilean Mine Rescue and Other Random Doings

Like many around the world I am sitting watching the rescue of the miners- so far (11:19 PM PDT) four are up and the capsule is on it's way down for number five. It's just not a night to rail but to hail!  Let's all hope that the futures of the men are good ones.  They will be confronted with all sorts of issues now.  Selling their stories, PTSD, changes in family dynamics (Do you remember that the two wives of one of them met at the camp where the families have been living?) and who knows what else.


While sitting here waiting for the next rescue I have been wandering through the information that Blogger offers to the novice.  Guess I' m even more of a novice that I realized.  I thought I was fairly computer literate but..... 

What does it mean that if I make my blog private and it is limited to 100 readers? If I don't make it private is it open to anyone who can discover it? How do people discover it? What is a label in a blog? Why was I born 30 or so years too late to really feel comfortable with computers?  Even my not quite two year old grandson loves to bang away at the keyboard and send me IMs! (Isn't "vneoptbv eogrhg3-0n v" just the most loving message ever?) It took me five years of using a computer before I dared try to IM or chat.  I am still deathly afraid of letting too much personal information out there- of course I don't think that is fear but smart thinking.
