I'm on 3 blogs now, and it has taken me a while to figure a few things out: I have to sign in to post, I have to ignore or at least sift through a lot of "noise" like Google trying to get me to use Google Blogger instead of the older version, what the Dashboard is, how to post, how to save a draft and edit it, etc.
I think it's always hard for anyone who is familiar with a technology to go back to a time when they knew nothing. We need to remember that if we are going to bring people in to Web 2.0, we have to find ways to make it happen and to be there for them when they meet that first roadblock, maybe pair them up with someone a bit more savvy, find ways to smooth the path and bring them in. There must be some creative solutions. Let's find them!

Hi, Judi:
Blogging is just a part of the puzzle.
I agree with you that being paired with someone is an ideal way to learn new technologies. Having an interest is also a key part. Some of our staff are not going to get on board and that is fine. Some of our customers are also not interested.
My concern is that the public sees us as information providers. We should be familiar with technology or at least willing to learn.

By the way, when you get going with blogging, you start to ignore some of the messages just as you do popups in email.
