Week 3 #5 Adding Flickr to my Blog

OK - Someone on our staff helped me do this the right way. The directions given through the iHCPL email said you needed to go to Flickr and get to the page to edit. We could not find that edit, but were able to do another way. This assignment was a little harder for us commoners!

Week 3 #6 More Flickr Fun

I really like the idea of Tripmaker where you can add photos from your vacation and actually do a trip planner entry. I'm thinking about adding some photos from my vacation this summer and seeing how it goes. Just not going to do this tonight.

I'm amazed at the creativity out there on the web using flicker.

Week 3 #5 Discover Flickr

I tried to follow tip we received in email on how to blog our flicker photo. I could not figure it out. I cheated by going to my blog and adding the same picture I had on flicker (it was on my computer). Anyways, I'm still going to play with this and see if I can do it the correct way.

Week 2 #4 Online Safety

I'm not sure how much personal info to attach to my blog. So for now, I'm not putting any personal info. But I'm sure as I feel more comfortable with the process, I will be tempted to add some details. One small detail - I've been told I make a really good lemon icebox pie!

Learning style

My personal learning style is a combination of different techniques. One thing I find as I get older is I need more time to accomplish tasks. I also find that a quiet and relaxing environment is necessary for completing tasks successfully. Even though I generally do not like to read directions, I did follow the instructions for setting up my blog. Could that be why it was so easy????

Making Blogs

I found it extremely easy to create my own blog through blogger.com. It has been interesting to look at everyone's blogs created so far. My blog is pretty plain now, but I plan on making in fancier when I have more time.
