Old dog, new tricks

When I graduated as a journalsim major from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1988, we had manual typewriters in the journalism lab. I'm not kidding--the old be-careful-or-your-fingers-will-get-stuck-in-the-keys manual typewriters. The lab was obviously about thirty or forty years out of date and was still a few generations away from the desktop publishing revolution taking place at the time.
Now I'm taking my master's classes completely online. I've learned a tremendous amount about finding electronic information efficiently, using various web tools, keeping up with discussion boards, and now I'm figuring out how to blog.
Talk about new tricks.
I'm afraid my novice status will be obvious, but be patient. I'll get it eventually!
