CGI frustration
Hello Folks,
I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog, but I'm writing to you Goddess. I've been trying to figure out a way to get more people to my web site. More interactive media would be wonderful on it, so I decided that I should try to figure out how to do forms that use CGI scripts. So all day I attempted to understand how they work. Right now, I feel that it is beyond me. I don't have the skill and knowledge to be able to set up the CGI script. I created a form, but without the script it goes no where.
How much I want a comment form at the end of my essays. But I don't know how to do it. So, the Lord helps those who help themselves, but it seems as though I don't know enough to help myself. I need help. Do you hear me, help!
I've been trying to do it all because I don't have the money to pay people to work for me. So I've tried to learn how to be a publisher, web mistress, graphic artist, etc. I'm a one women lovolution and it is going no where. There is no audience, no joy. My eyes are burning from sitting at this machine for days on end.
After a year to trying to learn Flash, I gave up. Maybe I should stop trying to learn CGI and go on to other things before another year is wasted.
If I was fortunate enough to be part of a social movement, I would be one person in a group. Someone out there would know how to do it and would show me the way to do it. But here, so isolated, there is no one.
