Busy still trying to figure this out.

To anyone who might be reading this-I apologize in advance for my ranting on about this laptop. Right now I'm sitting at my desk-the old desktop is opened to my blog page as I add a post on the laptop. I was hoping by looking at the old computer I could figure out how to get this page to display in the center of the laptop screen and also, how to stretch everything so it fills the screen. I went ahead and spent more money for a bigger screen (15.6" "edge to edge they called it) and it's pretty pointless if anything I look at takes up half or less than the entire LCD display. I've spent more time cruising around this thing trying to figure out how it works than I have writing. Then I get myself all worked up and frustrated and feel like throwing it out the window, so I turn it off and leave.

I have been trying to work on some writing. Due to some major pushing from my husband I wrote a kid's short story-the last thing I ever thought I'd do. I based it on my parakeets and I have someone (an actual real agent---real, real-she's worked with big name writers) who has also been encouraging me and will take a look when it's done. I have NO idea how to submit it-format, pages, anything. I'm trying to learn by Googling. I don't want her to think I'm a COMPLETE idiot when she sees it. So that's where I'm headed next. To edit, rewrite and research.

Uh-oh-trying to make the page fill the screen, I went to Edit/Full Screen and now my address bar and everything else has disappeared. This isn't my idea of fun. I need help.....
