Crista and I have worked through these 2 "things" - new technologies. I have to admit I probably won't do too much with them as I am not a big bookmarker except at work. I also do not search the web too much, but for me learning what the new technology does and what it looks like is a big help.
I have to say I am amazed at the folks who thought up these sites and how well others do understand them. Techno-heads are good people to know.

To be honest folks, I have no clue. This is my copy and past code for my Rollyo!!!???
My SearchRoll is hobbies.
Thanks to Crista who walked me through this.
My goodness, folks - so much to see, do and learn.
I am continuing to try.

Online Image Generator

2008-08-04T10:12:00.000-07:00

Here's the web site where I found a photo to use -http://www.freenaturepictures.com/beach-pictures.html

http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/jigsaw.php - this is the image generator I tried.

Thanks to Carol who helped, but I think this might be more fun if I had more time and more photos of my own.

But I am learning some of the new things out there.

RSS Feeds

2008-07-31T13:04:00.000-07:00

Well, it has taken me several tries to get some RSS feeds into my Outlook, and I have a few more I will be adding. Wonder how overwhelmed I will feel when the load gets too big. I know delete is a great option.
I think as time goes by, I will add a few more useful ones, but to begin, I just picked some activities I like. I think I may look to see if recipe web pages have RSS icons. I don't like to cook much, but do enjoy reading recipes.
At times, while learning new skills, I begin to be overwhelmed at how much there is out there to learn and to use. Guess one has to pick and chose what is best for yourself.

Well, I have just finished the RSS feeds and library related blogs session. It is interesting, but I wonder what I will find with my feeds, and it was quite amazing how many libraries do have blogs - of course, I checked out UR's. I haven't had time to read other folk's blogs to see how they are doing, but I imagine much better. I am behind schedule for the summer, but plan to continue. Even if I don't use a lot of this, at least, I will know what people are talking about.

more about Flickr

2008-07-23T07:43:00.000-07:00

I have looked at most of the suggested web pages, and to be honest, just am amazed at what is being done on the Web!! Nothing favorite yet, just fascinated with it all. Maybe some day I will do more than just the blog, but not yet.

Flickr

2008-07-23T07:34:00.000-07:00

Cool, just talked with Carol and she gave me a better understanding of Flickr and mashups. Now it is time to do the assignment for that week - yes, I am behind. Keep your fingers crossed.

Update time

2008-07-22T12:40:00.000-07:00

Well, I was on vacation so no entries the week of the 14th of July.
Somehow I had created two accounts, but have now deleted the posts for one. I will double check the blog web page and see what is there.
Hope the heat isn't too bad for everyone.

Technology

2008-07-11T11:50:00.001-07:00

I am to post about anything technology related that interests me.
Well, I have to admit after looking briefly at the Flickr sites, I now have a headache.
Yes, it is interesting, but I am one of those folks who seem to do better with a mentor than on my own.

2nd entry

2008-07-11T11:41:00.000-07:00

Previously, I mentioned my work career.
Personally, I enjoy reading, spending time with my grandson when he is in town, doing Soduko puzzles - addicted, and reading.

First entry

2008-07-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

Well, I am a newbie at this. Thought I had done it yesterday, but lost it.

I work with ILL at the University of Richmond, and have been working in the library system in different capacities since 1982.
