Beachy Avatar

This was such a fun time creating the image. I learned allot about how to add the image to my blog. I did not have the layout selection tab on by blog template. I somehow had two of the same avatar images coming up. I learned how to delete the blog entry. After several times of entering and deleting the blog entry, I was able to delete one of the images. I will use different web sites to get images to use. I love looking at other participants blogs and seeing the many interesting images they have added.

Getting the hang of adding RSS feeds

I found this section the most difficult so far. I have added a few news feeds and weather feeds to my bloglines. I feel pretty confident now that I am getting the hang of it. I was able to find the feeds but had trouble finding out where they went once I subscribed to them. I found them and added them to my favorites. I will keep working at this and try to master the task.

RSS news feeds

I am trying to understand the RSS feeds for adding to my blog. I think I am going to have to read the information again and try to get more time to participate. I feel a little lost at this point. I have the basic idea down but I not sure I am understanding fully. I am going to try to get the Washington Post news headlines sent as a experiment. I will post how that turned out later.

Flickr thing

What a days work!! I thought I would never learn to add a picture to my blog from "flickr". I have been calling it "flicker" until the Queen corrected me. I have everything bookmarked now so I think I can find my way around. Adding to favorites or bookmarking makes a big difference. We had a few group huddles and that was fun trying to find where we had been and where we should be. I know I will be using flickr to add personal pictures from my family collection. It took quite a bit of time to get the hang of adding but I am going to keep practicing and learning. I lost my draft when I clicked "preview" (started to panic) but discovered that the draft is saved automatically. Real problem was I forgot to click "hide preview".
