week5,Librarything

My apologies, doing this out of order. What a great discovery! I actually looked at Librarything for another training, had an account and still remember the sign-in! I enjoy this, great way to organize what I've read. This one actually makes sense!

week 6,#13

Exploring del.ici.ous. First, the video didn't work, some of the links are broken and I'm still trying to figure out the site and tagging. I did look at some of the posts, how it was tagged and number of people who tagged. All in all, not getting it, like much of this training.

avatars - wk 5

Holy Cow! it worked! Like my avatar? very unwilma, but that's okay, just playing around for fun. Now what? This was a neat exercise, enjoyed looking at all the options, but don't know when I'll use this again. This is a lot of work!

rss feeds

Just finished the tutorial all about RSS feeds. Problems, some of those videos no longer work! I'm finding that to be somewhat frustrating. Even trying to subscribe to some of these feeds is a pain. Time for the powers that be to move away from bloglines and envelop google reader? Time will tell.

So, I did subscribe to some feeds, some library related, some news and some entertainment. Let's face w/ all the destruction in the world I need my escapism and I love to be entertained. Not too bad signing up although I now realize one RSS is not all, you can tailor to specific items w/in. I really like that feature! til next time...yabba dabba do!

wk 3 What I love about technology!

I know, two posts in one day. Anything that makes my life easier I'm all for! While I love my digital camera, it requires uploading the images (which I understand isn't hard, just time consuming) and our computer is getting old. Which brings me to another lovely thing about tech., backing up on cd-rom! Seeing how easy it is once you get the hang of it, I just may register a Flickr account, upload my images, and send some very interesting xmas cards this year!

More Flickrfun

Just finished playing and making a movie poster. Had my doubts about this, seemed complicated but was really fun! What a great way to let out that frustation and play with one's creative side. Now if I can get that poster uploaded... One drawback, everyone wants you to signup for their stuff, and even though's it's free, not sure how much I'll be using it (otherwise I'd really never get any work done!).

Flickrfun, wk 3

My dream home! Haha. Big Flintstone fan, just found my next vacation destination. Playing on Flickr could be dangerous, I could easily get sucked into all the images on just about anything. Will definately explore it some more, I may even be tempted to upload some of my pics at home.
