Technology is passing me by!

I think I am going ever so slightly mad. I have been searching for days now to find on line ways of promoting my blog in an effort to find a wider audience and hopefully sell some of my ebook's in order to raise more money for Shelter and the Association for International Cancer Research. I'm not sure if it's a 'time of the day' I'm trying to do this thing or if it's an 'age' thing or maybe it's just an 'I'm so stupid' thing but I keep hitting brick walls. If I hit the wall within a few minutes it wouldn't be such an issue but the wall's (yes, many more than just the one) come after hours and hours of trying. I have, a few hours ago - well the length of time it took Manchester City to go out of the Champion's League - ago, stumbled upon a widgety app or a gadget called NetworkedBlogs on facebook. I appear to have set it up and I'm now following 7 blogs?, I also appear to have registered this blog but there are certain things that I could do for which the widgety app/gadgety thing is asking for some permissions - well, do you think I can allow it to do whatever it wants to do? - of course I can't. Think I might have to come back to it tomorrow with a slightly fresher head, or find someone a little more qualified in these technical things who can help.

In the meantime, the book has arrived, Jane Tomlinson's The Luxury of Time, couldn't put it down last night - brilliant!

Got out at lunchtime on a very grey, damp day. The coach came with me and it was good but I was tired, I stopped 2 or 3 times but I got going again. Need to start building up the miles now. If only there was another way, I'm sure I could enjoy this marathon lark!

If you would like to buy my ebook which is the story of my first marathon, there is a link to Amazon on the right hand side of this page. It's only £1.96, Amazon take a percentage of this, of the rest, 50p will go to our charity for next years marathon, Shelter and 50p will go to the Association for International Cancer Research. If you do buy it, when you have read it, I believe you can now lend it to a friend and there are payments for each 'lend' which will go to the 2 charities.  Thank you x
