First may I thank Ashish Choudary for a very good, clear, set of instructions for programming the ATtiny85. I have followed them, the ArduinoISP loaded without any errors, the ATtiny85 Support was installed. However when it came to upload the "Blink" sketch (having made sure that the ATtiny85 board was selected) the upload failed with the mesages:-
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Problem uploading to board. See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.
I have looked at the suggested web site and have performed a loop-back test, passed; have checked that the correct board was selected (ATtiny85) and COM 3 (Arduino UNO) were correct. I have also checked that the UNO runs the Blink sketch without ant problems.
As a novice in these matters I don't know what else to do - o help please!
Thanks in advance
