If Music be the Food of Love…
Then it’s a good job that after 4 years in a drawer, I have finally switched on my ‘new’ I-pod.
It’s like that film, ’28 Days Later’ but called ’4 Years Later’ and there’s only one looney in it, and that’s me, haha.
My great little cd player (Phillips, £15 from Richer Sounds 10yrs ago!) finally gave up on me, and I was all flustered, thinking, oh Jesus Christ, I will have to get out that new I-pod thingy, and learn what to do with it now.
I am really really technophobic, and have no patience at all with tech things, so imagine my delight when I managed to do it right! This is such a breakthrough for me as a human being! Of course, I don’t read the manuals, I just press all the buttons and declare ‘This is broken’ to anyone who will listen. Then wait on them to do it for me. (oh shut up, you!)
So now you won’t hear cd’s on loop, we can have playlists called ‘Sounds for Seduction’ etc.
When I first got a computer, (about 15 yrs ago) I pressed some wrong buttons and a box popped up saying,
‘You have performed an illegal operation!’ Oh my God! What have I done! I thought…
I was so scared that the Police were going to come around and say that I must be in cahoots with Gary Glitter, etc. How was I to know all this bloody computer jargon!? Haha.
I’m good for my own ends, my site and my blog and all to do with it, but anything else, I’m awful. It’s not that I’m not capable, but I have no patience to learn it. Everyone else is really good at it, so I leave it to them!
If you put in my keywords on Google, you will find me first and second page, and I did that myself, so I’m good when it counts!

Methinks the lady is too modest, your website rocks, your graphics as well, you’ve an accomplished level of digital expertise.
I’ve read where websites will become passé, they are too passive. Instead, everyone will have to create ‘apps’ to push forward their businesses, for use on all the smartphones and tablet computers coming out. So get to work on your Dollymopp ‘app’ now!

It’s the tech I have probs with, not the SEO, art design, creative ad ideas or written stuff.
What the hell is ‘apps’?
I have a normal phone, I don’t use it for emails or net, I wouldn’t know how to!

Sorry, a bit of geekspeak. ‘App’ is just short for application, that is, any kind of programme that will run on a computer or smartphone. A fun Dollymopp app might be one where a user pulls up a map of London, and by clicking on little Dollymopp flags, gets a historical tidbit about dollymopping at that particular location, perhaps with a photo or illustration. A virtual Dollymopp tour on an iPhone?

“… so I’m good when it counts …”
… and when you’re bad, you’re very, very bad!
