Week 3 - Flickr Fun - Things 5-7


So, tecnical comments -- what I learned in Week 3:

Patience, patience and be sure to tell my husband I'm talking to the computer, not him!:)

As I write this, I notice I can not use the apostrophe key or the backspace key. Will have to figure that out. I did change the font though.

I created my Flickr account and added one photo from my email and one from google images, giving them titles, tags and captions and saved it.
I could not successfully put them in to my blog from Flickr, so cheated and copied them to my desktop and then loaded them into my blog. I learned how to move things around in my template and can now edit pretty well.
I'll ask someone to show me how to successfully copy from Flickr to my blog back at work.

Another technical goal - learn how to use a digital camera and take and upload photos. I'd like my next cell phone to allow me to take photos as well. It would help me at work and I could also share more with family and friends.

I know that some of my co-workers have struggled with some of this 23 Things, but they are all hanging in there. And thanks to all those who are making time to help those of us who need some assistance and cheering folks on - you rock!

This is better than weeding the garden.....

My first Post - Things 1-4

So far, so good. I hope everyone else is having fun creating their blogs.

I really liked the 7 1/2 habits for lifelong learning and have written a contract with myself for one of my goals - to improve my Spanish speaking and comprehension. Technology will help me learn, but it will be a blended learning program - traditional classes, books, interactive cds and Rosetta Stone. And then, practice!

Bueno suerte ya'all!
