This is the End

My only friend, the end.....


Well it's not as desperate as all that.
After a slow start I have gained a great enthusiasm. So much so that my children are sick of me showing them my blog and taking about my findings. I'm sure my 14 year old will love fickr, knowing how to post her YouTube clips to her site, or the link to blogmusik, or librarything, or RSS feeds, or games sites...why does she roll her eyes and lock herself in her room???Why won't she listen to me??? I think she's shocked that I know anything that is remotely cool or technical or useful. I'm sure I saw that interested glint in her eye when I showed her how to put a clip in her site???
Thanks to all involved for organising this!
Signing off for now!

Week 9 - Youtube

Sorry I skipped ahead...enthusiasam got the better of me! For my YouTube clips see below!

Week 8-Discovering Web 2.0 Award Sites

Discovering the new sites was interesting.

I wanted a music sharing tool for my blog, but didn't like the ones suggested so I stole Nick's site from his blog! Thanks Nick. Will add more songs when I download my ipod into it.

Checked out http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/. What's not to like about this. I feel thirsty already! Is it 5 o'clock yet???

As you can see I loved http://www.librarything.com/. See bookshelf on right.

http://www.games2web.com/ I remember playing Space Invaders all through teachers college...I am old! So now you can play too...scroll to the bottom of this page to have a go!

I feel sooo guilty!! This is fun!

Week 8 ZOHO Writer




I quite like this. I like the idea of being able to have my documents at my fingertips without remembering to bring a disc etc. Quite a useful tool. Who thinks up this stuff!!!????

Thanks Deb

Yesterday I really made a conserted effort to get through this program....so in the middle of waiting for the holiday program to be designed etc I travelled through Wikis, RSS feeds, Del .icio. us us etc etc etc. Loved all those ideas, but secretly thought..."More usernames, passwords, email authentication...am I going to visit these sites again?"
This morning I chatted to Deb, who told me that I could place my RSS feeds onto my internet explorer, so I could see them when I was online! Well what she may have thought was simple, finally put it together for me! Thanks Deb.
I now know that i can have feeds on my Internet Explorer favourites! (Not just through Bloglines)
I now know that I have my favourites bookmarked at Del.icio.us
I now know how to place my favourite YouTube clips on to my blog
I now think I will spend a bit more time on my facebook site...and put all this enthusiasm into a site I can share with my friends.

On to the end of the program!

del.icio.us


I loved del.icio.us. I'm always frustrated when I use different computers that my favourites are lost...so now the perfect solution. Thanks!

Week 5 -Fun and Games!

The Blackadder Quote Generator! Nice...

Blackadder: "We live in an age where illness and deformity are commonplace, and yet, Ploppy, you are, without a doubt, the most repulsive individual I have ever met. I would shake your hand, but I fear it would come off. "

RSS Feeds

Finally got to RSS feeds...creating the Blogline account and have added the feeds for the Nine Msn news headlines, and some other sites I check regularly.

Don't know how much I'll use it, but the concept is interesting!

On to Week 5!
