I bought the online name intuitivefred.com and my daughter and I set it up at Wordpress which is what she recommended

 However, I thought she would have more time to help me with this new type of software contained in this site. So, I would recommend to others starting new sites that you don't get a site which is beyond your present capabilities and understandings of what a website is.

The one here you are reading from I learned to navigate in 2007. However, now I'm 73 years old and I find it harder to learn new things, especially when they are as advanced as this new site is in technology and software. To some degree I had the same problem with my site dragonofcompassion.com

The problem I encountered there is that I forgot how to log onto this site to continue adding new programming (which is one reason I started the new Intuitivefred.com site) But, the new site is even more technologically forbidding for me to think about mastering.

Though I can program in HTML and do all that what happens I noticed is that other aspects of running a website have become more and more complicated in various ways to the point where it isn't really HTML you are trying to learn about but completely new and different operating systems. This is where I find myself wondering where to start learning about new operating systems completely designed in a way I'm no longer familiar with having learned to program HTML around 1995.

Since I started to learn to program COBOL and FORTRAN in 1966 and became a computer operator and programmer in college then, I know a lot about the history of everything to do with computers and how they actually work. However, as new systems get laid upon old frameworks this becomes more difficult with each new technological evolution. 

So, the people best at present day technology likely were born since 1980 or 1990 because they came up with these changes in Grade school through college even in public schools whereas I was born in 1948 and this puts me at a distinct disadvantage today trying to learn new things.

Here is intuitivefred.com

I have tried to create a word button (Link) for this site but so far I have been unable to create one for it. I've noticed it is much more difficult to create Links and word buttons the last year or two to help readers find things.

I think this is an effort by larger media outlets to prevent readership in individual websites worldwide by making it more difficult for people to access websites.

Many or most people don't know how to access websites using URLs only. So, this is a problem for every private website that is not commercial in nature. My sites are a non-profit sites that are created to help mankind not commit suicide by any means: nuclear, biological or through overpopulation which could cause more and more pandemics until one is fatal to mankind.

So, I have purposefully never made a penny operating my websites which causes people to take my websites more seriously than many others because of it's dedicated non-profit nature.

Adds cannot always be stripped easily from things I quote also I have noticed the last few years. So, any adds you see I have tried to scrub but sometimes the whole quote collapses when I do this and I cannot share it at all.

So, I try to share things that are free without adds as much as I am technologically capable of in a practical way.
