Never too late to learn anything. My steemit struggles.

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

I had a late night last night, trying to make a post about our recent Dubai Miracle Garden Trip. Everything was well, I was almost done. I only had to apply the photos which I had saved on my Google drive. I felt my browser was slower than a snail so I made a decision I would later on regret...

I deleted my browser history, cache and everything else in between!

... then consequently, even the draft of my post which I was creating on the steemit website.

I felt like pulling my hair in all directions, slamming my laptop while screaming at the top of my lungs!!!

Only, it was 30 minutes past 1 am and everyone was fast asleep. I could not take that chance of waking up my little one, right?!

Instead, I tried to calm myself and just turned off the laptop and hit the sack. There really was not anything I could do. My mind was shutting down already. No, I cannot afford to write everything again.

I learned something new before I slept...

Apart from making a draft of my post offline (I compose straight on the steemit page), I learned something else which I have been wondering for a long time...

I hope by now you have noticed that I have been using these lovely avatars on my post. Hah! I always see posts and comments by some steemians using these and I found them actually cute. I just could not find how... a colleague mentioned Snapchat the other day. Err, I don't snapchat. I remember setting an account but I never used it.

Luckily, I found this post by @snook - How to: Bitmoji (for old-ish people). So me. Even the "old-ish"... I could relate. LOL

If you find these avatars cool, then just visit @snook's post above for a detailed step by step guide on how to set up your bitmoji account. Don't forget to greet her a happy belated birthday too! :D

Back to work.

I need to get back to work and hopefully, I would get the energy and time to complete my Miracle Garden post later on. It is long overdue. I have lots of things to share with you. I just really have to work myself around time! kruk! kruk!

Thanks to your mistake now I learn about bitmoji. We all have had those kinds of situations and I think the worst the best you remember and it is guarantee that the next time you won't do it. That post is going to be better this time.

Learned alot from this write up

Glad you did @ahmed1234 :)

I love bitmoji,s too but havent used it in my posts... looking forward to your post about your trip to Miracle Garden

They're cute right?! But using them on our posts all the time, well... not cute i think. hahaha

Every mistake will bring a new lesson, you've learnt yours so make use of it in the future.

Really true. Making the same mistake twice means... :D

Excellent post, thanjs for sharing

You're welcome... thanks for passing by!

I like the setup of steemconnect 😁😁

I don't really use it often so I am adjusting. haha

Oh this site is a lot better than the first one, i can see my draft! Cool.thank you for always posting a lot of what to learn here on steemit. I still have to figure out though how that aligning works 😂 Hahaha..i like this! Super#### #

Me hashtags sumingit, lol..i dunno why

Yes you can.. and it's pretty fast. It's my first time to use busy.org - so far, so good. :D

cute avatars... same as you...

Haha! Thanks @jezmacher! :D

HAHAHA.. Kyoti.. 😁

I always compose my blogs on my phone's note and I only copy it when I'm done to add photos. that must be really frustrating. it's hard to remember all that you've written there before it got deleted. Haha your emojis are cute though ❤

I used to compose using my note pad on the phone, but when I began using the desktop or laptop, I type straight away on the steemit page - formatted already. That's why super huhu talaga.

I might try to learn and use those cute bitmojis!😁

I find them cute too! haha

haha! every mistake is a learning opportunity. will be following your updates on your trip. wish i could also step foot on dubai. :)

Yes we have to learn from our mistakes... put a positive spin to it. 😊

Dubai is a nice city but I cannot imagine living there. I still prefer the more laid back way of living here in Abu Dhabi. ❤

Life is a continuous process of learning, so keep on going, you are right it is never too late to learn anything.

Trùe. We have to be always open to new things. Lots of new and interesting things happen daily.

Experienced that too several times and so, I could say that I know the feeling. :D
Yes, the emoji is cute. :)

Ammfff! I have still not got the inspiration to re-do my lost post. 😯

Mommy your avatars is lovely😍😍😍. LODI

As lovely as you @essan-san!

I'm So happy I could make you happy and laugh after losing your post !!! love how yours turned out!!

Yes, thanks God I bumped into your post @snook! 😉

Hey! Hey!! I love that too...

I have experienced similar of that. I directly put it in steemit. I composed it for almost 2 hours. I stopped to take a short break. My phone darkened because it was idle for more than 3 minutes. I tap it twice to operate and continurle writing, but it didnt work instantly, so I tapped it 3 times, and the 3rd tap clicked the CANCEL in my post, and everything was gone. I slept and very mad at myself...

Ahahaha this is why I draft in wordpress like @bearone told me she does.
Autosaves. Hasslefree.
You know why we don't snapchat, because we're old AF :D

Ikr! Goodness nakaka stress. Haha
I tried to download snapchat before as suggested by colleagues since they said my daughter may love it. She did not. Haha
