My Books

I got my image on - check out the golden egg. I am now searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I got my library books listed and have the link at the bottom of my blog. I am slowly coming along.

I am certainly glad I am not being graded on this!

Halfway there!

Thing 10: I am trying to get an online image here....we will see how it goes

RSS: Really strong stretch

I have set up my blog lines account...and I added a few feeds. Of course, I added Reuters so that I would always know what was going on in the world. And I added a dog lovers....there was a feed on how to teach your dog to cross their paws - mine already does that.

I have to be honest and state that this is really a stretch for my brain - I can have feeds for anything I want at one website - and it is always up to date. I want to add more and more and more because there are so many "things" to keep up with. I used the favorites list that came up on the sign in page to choose several - now I have to figure out how to add and delete them! I plan to add some education ones so that I will learn some really new things.

And just so you all know - I did look for websites for accounting and auditing (thinking I would get some to keep me more up to date on changes) and all I got were job postings......maybe I need to perfect my search techniques.

Flikr: Let's Flash 'Em!

While exploring Flikr, I found many pictures of many interesting objects. I think this is a really neat way to share pictures among family members. Since my family has had a couple of "new additions" in the past few months, this would be a neat way for all of us to upload our pictures and share them among ourselves. Since we all have digital cameras we can share our pictures together in our pajamas at the computer!

I have also been learning more about blogs. My nephew and his wife, who are living in Kenya, have a blog set up to record their adventures - this works well for them as they don't have to do mass emails to update friends and family. They post on their blog and we all check it out. This was particuarly helpful during tense political times in Nairobi with all of the civil unrest.
