PHOTOSHARING - Week 9, thing 14

Photosharing / Flickr. Not sure how I feel about this. I can't really see myself using this. I still like to get my pictures printed. I like sitting down with someone and going through them. Sometimes when doing that you remember other little stories about the picture that you wouldn't think about putting in the tag. I always save my pictures to my computer (a hard drive - had a computer blow up and lost all my pictures). So I did explore flickr and looked at pictures, so in keeping with the theme I have going on in my blog, I chose to look at cats.

Cat


I chose this cat because it looks alot like one of mine.

After doing this, I am not sure I like trying to put a photo from flickr into my blog. I found youtube much easier. Maybe with practice. Maybe because I did sign in because I have a yahoo account.

Just because I was having troubles with this I decided to add another photo. (for practice) It is also by the same photographer.

WIKIS & WIKIPEDIA - Week 7, Things 11 & 12

Ok, I added my my comments to the 23 things Wiki. I get the over all idea of it, but got really confused when I clicked on the "save" button and got all kinds of errors. Here it turned out that someone else was "saving" at the same time as me. To correct the error I would have overwritten everything that they had just done. So I had to go back and start again. :(

PODCASTING - Week 6, thing 10

Podcasts. Well, this one I found a little confusing. I went to the sites that were listed and didn't really see anything that interested me. I ended up doing a google search for what I like and found something. I was able to add a RSS feed to my google reader and to my igoogle account. But, when you don't use something, it gets lost. I had to go back and read to figure out how to add the RSS feed to my reader. Once that was done, I figured out on my own how to add it to my igoogle page. I guess the point of this lesson is I need to start using the stuff I'm learning

YOUTUBE - Week 6, thing 9

1st part of this week's thing is Youtube.  I already had a youtube account and have watched numerous videos.  This is the first time I am trying to do something with it other than watching.  So here goes, going to try to put in one of my favourite videos.  When ever I need a pick me up, I like to watch this, as it always makes me smile.



Well it worked in the preview, so hopefully it will work when I publish. I am not brave enough to make my own video.

PREZI - Week 5, Thing 8

Ok, I made my Prezi.  It is kind of cool.  Don't know if I would ever use something like that or not.  This weeks thing took me longer than the other weeks things.  Probably because it was fun to play with.  I was also looking for a way to add it to my igoogle account.  Never did figure it out.  Check out my Prezi:
