Eureka!
So simple.
The most abject beginners have no trouble posting videos.
I’ve been at it one month, with excellent tech support, and, until now, had hit a bloggers’ block.
Until now.
Now I can post to the social media with the best of them.
Fast.
Fun.
So much fun I’m in danger of stealing time spent on the blog to post away.
Not going there.
Going to allot several minutes a day to the task.
So what changed?
It’s important for the organization of the blog to keep an easily accessible record of the postings.
And my filing for the videos had been ad hoc, resulting in my recalcitrance to create more videos.
How do I file them?
In the last several days I found direction.
Working on MS File Manager, I deleted some duplication of files, more precisely renamed others, and combined still others.
The result: an easy to use, efficient way to post and record the posting: two minutes tops.
Expect now to see videos appearing on several of the social media on a regular basis.
Hopefully, liking one video, readers will look for others and then jump to the blog.
Stay tuned.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there...

St. Jerome in His Study is an oil-on-panel painting by the Italian Renaissance master Antonello da Messina, thought to have been completed around 1460 to 1475 during Antonello's Venetian sojourn.
The small picture portrays Saint Jerome working in his studio, a room without walls and ceiling seen from a kind of triumphal arch (probably within some church of Aragonese style).
As in several other works by the Messinese painter, the main scene is accompanied by a host of details that have points of contact with the contemporary Flemish school: books, animals and objects painted with a taste for detail and "optical truth".
The painting is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London.

Antonello da Messina, properly Antonello di Giovanni di Antonio,(c1430 – February 1479), was an Italian painter from Messina, Sicily, active during the Early Italian Renaissance.
His work shows strong influences from Early Netherlandish painting although there is no documentary evidence that he ever travelled beyond Italy.
Giorgio Vasari credited him with the introduction of oil painting into Italy.
Unusually for a south Italian artist of the Renaissance, his work proved influential on painters in northern Italy, especially in Venice.
