This is my draft for my About Me page for this blog:
I grew up on the mission field. When I was 13, God opened the doors and my Dad got to fulfill his life-long calling to be a missionary. It didn't take me long to feel the call on my life, as well. I knew this was where I was supposed to be. Now, it took me quite a bit longer to realize it. I returned to the States for college, and also on furlough both before and after college. I learned what missionary kids often discover, that I didn't quite fit. It worries me as I take over the communications for my parents. Thankfully, God has led me to several blogs and mailing lists about marketing. However, they are written for secular marketers, not foreign missionaries. So I first re-write their articles,seeking what the Bible has to say on the subject. Then I have to apply it. Then I will try to post a follow-up as to what I have confirmed. God willing and internet cooperating, I will be able to post once a week. I pray this will help you as you face the same challenges of communicating via the new technology from your fields. Also, check out my experiment so far: our Facebook page. www.facebook.com/ChowningAmazon/ I pray that God be able to take my meager attempts and encourage you to create your own.

I wrote it on my tablet, and then logged in to blogger via the web browser on my tablet to post it. It took quite a while.
Once the draft was posted, I turned off my tablet and logged in on our computer. From there, I was able to find the sidebar and where it said "Page."
Once that opened, I was able to click "Create Page." I copied the blog post and pasted it to the page editor. There, I was able to correct the links, linking to our Facebook page, and add my favorite photo.
Next adventure will be to figure out where it is supposed to be! But at least I have posted it.
