Genius at work


I am a genius, there is little doubt about that.  Well, not in my mind anyway.  The proof is in the pudding they say, but as I am lacking nearby tapioca I offer this humble evidence of my superior intellectual right stuff:  I have figured out how to increase the font size on this blog!  You see, prior to this very moment I have had to write my recent blogs on my word program and then cut and paste them to Monkeymind because the font on my Inspiron mini computer while writing on the blog was so small that I was unable to see it clearly as I wrote.  The drawback to this technique, as you can see from the blog that precedes this one,  was that when I pasted, paragraph breaks were eliminated.  But aha, no longer! Thanks to my aforesaid genius which I will now attempt to qualify
even though you will no doubt say quit being humble Zendoc, if you got it flaunt it. Sure you will say that, won't you?  Modesty, of course, along with my genius, good looks and winning personality is one of my more noticeable traits.  That said, I have to tell you now that the way I managed the incredible achievement of creating a larger font was in most part sheer accident.  As other geniuses of my stature, like Einstein, for instance, would note if you asked them, fortuitous accidents are the byproduct of trying.  I was, in fact, stumbling about in Template, Settings, Design, and other such cryptic sections of the blog while giving the font growth a go, and, as usual, for this was not the first time, I was confronting abject failure which is, as everyone knows, far worse than regular, ordinary failure, although I had managed to enlarge the font on existing blogs, a totally unnecessary eventuality, when amidst the cursing both sailors and geniuses would be proud of, I had the good sense to throw in the towel, throw up my hands and throw out the one phrase common to all we proud losers from Robert E. Lee to Hirohito to Sarah Palin.  I said, "Fuck it, I quit."  It was at that moment, while hitting my back off arrow on the top left hand part of my computer to escape from just the right screen, a little obsessive I know, that I came to the page on which I was to start a whole New Blog.  There, where I swear it had never been before, was the word "compose" in a little gray rectangle. When I clicked on that, guided indubitably by my subconscious genius, a tool bar appeared that included, can you believe this, a tab for font size! The choices were small, normal, large, very large and largest.  Though largest was tempting, modesty again prevailed and you are now reading large while admiring my genius.


If only I now had something to write about.

Google, which runs Blogger (that hosts your blog) has redesigned the Blogger interface, making it easier for you to find things like changing font size.
I'll show you more when you're up in July.

It's the little things, isn't it?!
