Week 4 Thing 9

I am already familiar with Merlin, having explored some of it while doing the Thomson e-learning. I had no trouble adding it to my blogline accounts. I took a brief look at the 4 search tools and used Topix to add a feed for my home town. It was easy. Feedster was not very friendly to use and I gave up after just a few minutes. I will go back when I have a large chunk of time and explore Technorati more carefully.

Week 4 Thing 8

With lots of help from my friends, I successfully set up my Bloglines account. I had to stop myself from adding too many feeds, because there were so many interesting sites. I really liked being able to put on a weather feed for Keuka Lake's weather. This will save me a lot of time aggrevation and pop ups.
Here is the URL to my public Bloglines account:

But Thanks to Erin I learned how to put the listing of my feeds right on my Blog.

Week 3 Thing 7

I love digital photography. My husband bought me a beautiful camera and I love to take pictures. And do I take pictures - hundreds of them. Digital photography makes it so easy. If you don't like a shot just delete it. I just bought Adobe Photshop and am playing around with editing my photos. I have made cards, T-shirts and personalized wallpaper. I admit it, I'm hooked.

Week 3 Thing 6

I had fun looking at the Flickr mashups and 3rd party sites. I really enjoyed making a mosaic on Montagr. If you would like to see the one I made with pictures from Keuka just try this site. Until I figure out how to get a link. You will have to copy and paste the address.

Week 3 Thing 5

Keuka Lake is the most beautiful Lake in the world, but then I am very prejudice. My family has been escaping here for generations and I have carried on the tradition.
I was thrilled when I found over 2000 pictures in Flickr of this beautiful Finger Lake and couldn't resist putting a picture on my blog.

Week 1 Thing 2

Now that I have created my blog. I am ready to start learning. I found the 7 1/2 habits very interesting. The first 7 are the ones I will have the most trouble with and of course the last 1/2 will be the easiest. I love to play.
I have found the hardest part about learning is getting myself started. Once I take that initial step I usually find that whatever the project is,it is never as bad as it seemed before I jumped in. That goes for these 23 Things. Now that I have started I am excited to find out more. So on to the next challenge.

First Posting

I did it! I created a blog and this is my first posting. What more can I say?!
