Photo Sharing

The photo I e-mailed was of Josh Holloway from Lost. The tag was "Sawyer - Josh Holloway". I've just started watching Lost and I love it..especially Sawyer.

I think Picassa is amazing. I downloaded Picassa 3 and have been playing around with it...lots to learn, but I will definitely keep using the site after summer school is over. I still can't believe this is a free site.

My Kitties

I'm playing around with Picassa and using the
"Blogg" button to post some of my pictures. I
can't figure out how to add more pictures within
this frame...not sure why my entire folder wasn't
added and only these two were. I'll keep playing.

These are my two cats. Tiggs is the striped one, and Scamp,
(because she gets into everything) is the blackish one.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to place my text beside each photo? Ive had to use the align centre button.

Facebook

Well, I've used my real name and I'm a little nervous, but also curious. I hear so many people enjoying facebook, but I've always thought of it as a site for teenagers etc. I'm not one to sit at a computer all day "chatting" on line, I'd rather chat on the phone or in person, but I can see how this is a great tool to find old friends, or to chat long distance without running up a phone bill...but I can do that with e-mail.

I'm gonna' to see how it goes. One thing that does concern me is removing my info. off the site if I decide it's not for me...how can you remove anything once it's already in cyber space??? I don't have a lot of info. on there, just my name, birthdate and a yahoo address.

I can't say weather or not I will continue using facebook...it's early days yet. I must say, it was kind of fun seeing if I recognized anyone from my high school....I haven't asked to become a friend of anyone...yet...I don't think I will. I'll wait and see if someone interesting finds me! :-))) (Preferably one old flame I haven't seen in a while but would very much like to)....*wink.

Time will tell.

DIIGGO

The following links are a few of my favourites:

hayhouseradio.com
my tag is: listen inspirational

weeklyhoroscope.com
my tag is: astrology

drlaura.com
my tag is: listen family councilor

Diigo is a great idea, but I don't think I will use it in the near future...Who knows, I might find it very useful in the years to come.

YouTube task

I am somewhat familiar with YouTube, but I'm having streaming difficulties on my home computer so I don't really use it. I'm thrilled that I've learned how to embed or add a video clip to my blog.

One of my favourite shows is the Mary Tyler Moore show. I really like watching "bloopers" and without YouTube, I would never be able to see the out takes of this show. I will continue using YouTube as soon as I correct the streaming issue I'm having at home.

I believe YouTube is popular because it's not only a vehicle where a person can showcase their talents to the entire world without leaving their home, but it also allows the user to access entertainment that would not necessarily be available to them without this technology.

I love it!



Enjoy the MTM out takes.

My First Blog

Hi Everyone, I'm very excited about this course as my experience with Web2 is zero. I have never tried any social networking sites, so this should be interesting....and fun.

Looking forward to meeting and chatting with you all over the course of the summer.

Cheers to Betty and the Library Lady.
