# 11 Library Thing

Library Thing is really exciting. I think the most exciting thing so far. I want to go back to it and spend more time. Check out my catalog.

#10 Image Generators


Isn't he cute? He looks better in color. Using the "Sketch Generator" I was able to convert a photograph into a sketch drawing and then I uploaded this little fella to my blog.

#9 Merlin

I didn't like the layout of Feedster as much as Topix. Didn't spend too much time with Merlin. Will get back to her later.

A view from Chios


.

What a beautiful scene. It is taken from a house on the island of Chios, which is where the poet Homer taught to his students. There is a boulder on the island of Chios and it is called "Homer's Rock"

#8 RSS and Feeders

Yesterday I learned about "Really Simple Syndication". I know that I sound like a broken record, but I'm just amazed at what is out there. I enjoyed the one tutorial "Feed Me". I was able to create an online account with Bloglines and without realizing it at the time, I subscribed to newsfeeds to my reader. How did I do it? Don't know, but I did.

#7 Technology Rated Post

It was fun to go into flickr toys and see all of the technolgy that's out there. Kinda of overwhelming though...
Montagr was fun. Created a mosaic from photos which interested me. Wonder if I'll remember how to do that a few months down the road.
Now it's on to comment on someone's blog. Who should I pick?

Don't you just want to visit these beautiful islands? Our first mosaic (with my buddy)

#5 - Explore Flickr

Hoorah! I registered with Flickr. Didn't realize it at the time, but I did! My buddy here has now helped me to blog this beautiful photo of Paros Island Greece. The Greek singer "Parios" is from this island.

#4 Register Your Blog and Track your progress

Today I registered my blog with my liaison. I did have a problem with the process of including my URL for the permanent link to my first blog posts. Donna again came to the rescue. Hope I can remember to do it tomorrow.

#3 Set up your own blog & add 1st post

This was so much fun. I didn't know what a blog was and now I've created my own. I'm so impressed. Of course I had help. Once though I viewed the other blogs, I felt that I had so much to learn. Ellen's is really amazing! Well, what can I say? This will be such an adventure.

#2 Lifelong learning

Tutorial was kinda fun although I felt I was in grade school. Didn't discover much. The 7 1/2 habits of learning were logical ones, habits which I had experienced in my lifetime.

About the Program #1

This is exciting, especially when you work with a buddy system. We'll be learning plus having fun together.

The most difficult and easiest habits

Habit 2: I would consider as one of the easiest because it puts the"ball" in my ballpark. I accept the responsibility of trying to learn new technology.

Habit 7: This would be the hardest for me. How do I use the newly acquired skills to my advantage.
