Still trying to publish follow up diary but cannot so will try publishing it as new.
Next Installment: trying to embed two photos relevant to discussion:
Try 1: To add more images to select from when writing articles. Not intuitive, still need to have a preliminary discussion of what specific steps to take and what expected results are. Just to help the less technically oriented, no, no, not even that, just intelligent people who need help to think in the way you have set this site up to behave to accomplish their purposes (which by the way (BTW) is why or why NOT a site is successful) to deliver their content.
So will try again...
Unsuccessful. Will pursue again tomorrow. Stressful to those with PTSD and not encouraging as a site to post to. No matter how many viewers it receives. Still can't finish, asks for a tag again. Where is that explained on this site?
Keeps telling me I must add a tag to publish, now where is that? Certainly not obvious, Sucks!!!
Only obvious way to do anything is click on "Edit Diary"...
Oh well, will keep looking for this "Publish" tag stuff, or whatever...
WOW, I normally make $35 - $50hr. and am not considered stupid by any means, but having intense problems finding the tag and publish functionality for this latest set of comments...
I cannot believe it tells me I cannot publish without adding a tag and there is no clue as to how to do that?!?!?!?
Very frustrated now, received lots of responses to the first blog attempt which was directed at explaining how frustrating this is, but no direct steps seem to be available in the material I was directed to about how to tag your comment and publish it. You click to publish and receive the message "You must enter at least one tag before publishing this diary." but no clue as to how to do that, click here, go to page or link or anything helpful. I am in the business of making things understandable and approach each situation as a new user. Perhaps this is not meant for new users.
I clicked Help to see if there was anything about tagging so you can publish, but there is not. It just says, "Once you are satisfied with your diary, you must click Publish to post it. Otherwise your Diary (or changes to it) will not be posted. You can always edit it at any time by clicking one of the Edit Diary links to bring back the editors." and says there is more help available, which is great. Trying that next. Now up to over an hour of trying to figure this out.
Tried that and got sent to Tagging Guidelines which explained a lot, but not how to tag this latest blog so I can publish it. Very confusing, why? Then scrolled down again and finally got the same section that I got the first time and am very hopeful that this works. Voila?!
Well, it did not work and I gave up. Here I am, one month to the day logging in again to see if I can figure this out. This time maybe it will be more obvious. If not I will keep at it and maybe start writing some instructions for the Knowledge Base that would be useful. I have been writing for application development for many, many years and believe me it is easier to explain to users how to use the applications I have dealt with in a technical environment than it is to figure out how to do things on this blog.
Add an image: Tried but failed. Says drag to place in diary. Tried going to my image library and the image is there. Clicked on it, nothing says how to add it. Very intense effort needed here to understand when it says to do something but it does not happen.
Also now trying to publish again but after save and preview there is nothing except a warning that you have to add a tag but there is no obvious way to do that.
