Thing 5.4 PUZZLES & FLICKER

OK, so you can make your photos look like jigsaw puzzles. I can't think of any practical applications for this at the HS Media Center.

Thing 5.3 Splashr

My Presentation

Create your own slide shows and post them on your blog page with Splashr!!!!

I am lovin' 23 Things!

Thing 5.2 SPELLING WITH FLICKER

Spelling with flickr is fun!!

Thing 5.1 BIG HUGE LABS

Big Huge Labs is kind of fun. Still trying to figure out how to get to all these pages without using the link from the 23 Things website. The best idea I can come up with is to bookmark them on deli.cio.us.

Thing 5 COLR PICKER

I am fumbling around with Thing 5 today. I couldn't figure out what to do with Clockr?

This beautiful, blue jellyfish photo was selected from the color wheel on Colr Pickr. It is from Flickr. I had a few problems actually getting it on my blog page. I am not sure if that is my bad or my inexperience on my MacBook. I have been encouraged by colleauges to "come to the Dark Side". As an original PC girl, I am still a bit resistant.

More posts to follow. Thing 5 has a lot of sub-things.

Thing 4 FLICKR

Flickr was kind of a tough one for me. I am working on a Mac right now, usually I am a PC girl. I had to find a photo uploader that actually worked. Once I did that, I just grabbed some photos from iPhoto.

I already had a subscription to Flickr from when it used to be Yahoo! Photos. I really like the ability to post and share photos via the web.

This is one thing I will continue to use.

Thing 4 FLICKR

Well, I finally figured out how to get the photo uploader for work on a Mac. I was already a member of Flickr, grandfathered in from Yahoo! photos.

Now I am figuring out how to actually use all the features. I want to scan in all my grandmothers old photos and be able to share them with the whole extended family.

I am so excited to finally be doing the 23 Things. I am learning so much stuff!!

Thing 3 RSS

Summer is flying by!!!

I figure I better get moving on my 23 Things. So Thing 3 is RSS. I started a google reader account. Which was easy, because I have already discovered igoogle and absolutely adore googledocs.

I subscribed to my own blog!! I hope that counts. It was hard finding blogs in the CMLE list that have been kept current.

On to Thing 4.

Thing 2 WEB 2.0 PERSPECTIVES

I also redid Thing 2. I watched the online video of the Murdoch University guy. First time around I didn't have the interest to watch the whole thing. It is worth 6 minutes of your time though, I recommend watching the whole thing.

Still Tryin'!!

I did Thing 1 again today. I really want to learn all this stuff. I think I already made a mistake on my blog though. My blog name "Live to read. Read to live." is different than my blog address. I will keep researching and maybe have to change something down the road.
