KISS

I have heard the Keep It Simple formula stated in many forms, but I am just realizing that the KISS theory is one that has been largely ignored within online learning venues. Too much information confuses me. When I have to turn from one task to another I feel like I'm dangling from a rope (tied around my throat) and twisting in the breeze. It would be interesting to use survey monkey to find out if this is a phobia of mine or if others feel this way. This thought was triggered by Stanford's courselets.

I'm trying

OK. Here I am again trying to post. This had better work or I will tear my hair out!

Did this work?

OK. I thought that I had put in some new posts, but I don't see them. Do they take time to load?

New tricks

OK. I have finally learned how to post. Previously I was going directly to my blog and I couldn't figure out where to post other than comments. Another hour out of my life, but I think that this could be a good place to save info. I need to spend more time to figure out exactly how this can be used. Is there a way to write private messages that I don't want the world to see?
