ADDLED!

OH...!

So now the 'ads' that miraculously appeared under the posting entitled 'OW!' (when I pressed that seemingly innocuous new dashboard button) and which prompted a new posting - have now disappeared from beneath 'OW!'(?) and nestled themselves snugly beneath 'BUTTON IT!'...?
As I understood it (before pressing the button), new 'ads' would appear on the sidebar and beneath EACH new posting(?)

Which probably means that since I am now in the process of typing out a new posting entitled 'ADDLED!' the 'ads' are now in the process of slowly fading (like the Cheshire Cat's Smile - ref: Alice in Wonderland/Lewis Carroll) from beneath 'BUTTON IT!', to reappear underneath this one...?

*Sigh*...I am in Computer Technology awe. Computer technology is my God. I feel like feeding my computer a carrot.
(I.E., ref. to The Coming Plague/Laurie Garrett - and an incident in which a Brazilian tribe, on seeing their first ever aeroplane (bringing medical Scientists) thought it was a mighty 'God' Bird and rushed out from the surrounding jungle to feed it roots - and don't say you (and me )would not have done the same in their place - because I am betting we would have - for sure! ).

Wait though, I have just had a thought (!) (*rusty grinding noise*)... Since 'ADDLED!' will be posted on the same day as 'BUTTON IT!' the ads will 'think' it's all one-and-the-same - and not move upwards (seems logical), if you get my drift?

Wonder if I am right.....? (finger now moving towards 'publish post')..... bated breath...


(*Groan*.... There must be a better way to spend a cold, wet, slushy Sunday?).


P.S.
HMMPH!! This is an 'edit'. I wasn't right...

Well now I am completely confused - where are you finding these buttons? I must have a different sort of blog to you!!!!!!

Kate ~ Oh I can always find a button. They leap out at me screaming 'Press me!' and then I get all big or small and have to fight off playing cards and...oh no, that's Alice. I'm Geri.
Well, I don't know really...are you with blogspot? They're always offering a new gadget/widget etc.. quite fun really - as long as you avoid white rabbits! (Stick to the carrots...)

I mosied on over to see what you were on about, but couldn't see any ads. "What the hell is she on about?" I asks myself.

Then I realised that I have a button too, so I pressed it and the ads appeared! Your button starts them, but mine stops 'em again!! Hah!

Grandad ~ Hah! *splutter*!
Isn't there a law against press ganging a person's 'ads'?!

Can't understand why some of them are in Dutch though, since I vaguely remember clicking English as(blog)language of choice.
Got a button to sort that one out GD?

In the meantime, I'll amuse myself with this nice shiny red one, found on a US government site....

Hang on! Why don't I bring it on over? We can press it together!

Kate said...

Will you two behave - you sound like a pair of five year olds!!! Second childhood eh??? You can't beat it... Geri, I don't even know what blogspot is? Maybe I need more carrots or maybe a brussel or two?

Geri Atric said...

Hi Kate ~ Ah, well you see, 'blogspot' is part of the http:// address for 'Blogger', (Ageing Ungracefully's blog host). I just typed in 'how do I start a blog?' on Google one day - and there was Blogger, with lots of lovely buttons to lure me on....

I wouldn't bother about veggies helping you out of a quandary - although carrots are supposed to improve the eyesight, I find chocolate works a bit better on the old endorfines!
(Although I suspect Grandad might prefer a large Guiness, to celebrate his dastardly button sabotage). Hah!

I have no clue what you're talking about but I hope you get the ads sorted to your satisfaction! LOL!

Geri Atric said...

Hi Jay ~ Thanks, I hope so too!
Have just logged on and to my amazement the ads are now animated! That sure was some button I pressed....
