How I’m feeling right now

I know, no one needs another article about how confusing this platform is.

So I won’t be offended if you don’t read this rant. I guess I’m just looking for sympathy — or — an explanation?

Some time ago, I wrote about a post that had punched way above its weight for me. Instead of the usual pennies, it almost immediately earned me more than a dollar!

Not enough to retire on, but even with multiple close readings of the help documentation (with lot of coffee to keep me awake as I scrolled through these breathtakingly convoluted reference materials) I was still stumped.

And now, several posts later, it’s happened again.

Earlier this month I posted a review of a great book that I heartily recommend — not only is it informative, it’s hilarious and has great cartoons.
