Before I start I want to point out that I am neither a luddite nor stupid. And if, after reading this post, you feel inclined to offer me advice on how to add a badge to my blog, please reconsider.
“It’s easy, just…” and so bloggers have expl1ined how to add their badge to my sidebar and although I have followed their instructions to a t or should I say “B” for badge, it has never worked for me. “How hard can it be?” I told myself devoting hours to this -now that I look at it-meaningless quest. There was an element of stubborn pride and an old element of never giving up deriving from hearing stories when younger of Robert the Bruce, a famous Scot who failed many times and eventually succeeded. Nowadays if something is that resistant, I let it go and put my energiies elsewhere. When younger bloggers become aware of my age I frequently find an ageist assumption arises that I can’t do this task because of my age because we all know that you loose your mental capacities as you get older dont we?
So here they are-all together in one post dedicated to their blogging “badgeness”. I hope you enjoy them,

I won’t try to give you any advice. I had a blogger friend that couldn’t get the “follow this blog” feature on their sidebar no matter what she tried. Computers are evil.

I’ve felt that way about a lot of computer-related things and it has nothing to do with my age. Some things just won’t work. Period.

Nope, some templates do not allow an easy way to add badges, and it’s honestly not worth the work! What I do is add a tab (page) to my menu at the top with the current badges/events I want my readers to know about. If you want a Badge page of your past and current connections, that’s what I suggest. Otherwise, totally don’t sweat it.
