Question

Just putting out a question...does any one actually read these posts? Feels kind of futile at this point.

Photo Sharing

This week's assignment didn't do much for me. There were a few good photos, but lots and lots of really bad photos to wade through. Personally if I wanted to share photos online with friends I wouldn't use Picasa.What I would like to do is put my own photos into a blog. That would have been a more valuable exercise for me.

For this assignment I chose a picture of a wave. The tags were beach, ocean,waves.

I don't think I will continue to use this application, but will find out how to put my photos into a blog. I would like to take photos of my Art and talk about them in a blog format.

All a Twitter

Well this has been a delightful assignment for me.Twitter was one of those things I couldn't get my head around. Why would I need another means of communication, I asked myself. Life is complicated enough I thought.So, I signed up any way and have been thoroughly enjoying it.

I have really enjoyed following the ones I chose and have learned some valuable new things along the way. For example, my membership to the AGO can be used at the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo. Sounds like an excuse for a road trip to see more wonderful art!This is always good to get my creative juices flowing.

I don't have any concerns about social networking at this point, realizing that we get to decide who can view our postings. More, I feel that no one will hear me if I tweet, as I don't have any followers, yet. If I tweet will anyone hear me? lol

Yes, I will definitely continue to use Twitter after the Betty Blogger program!

Task #3 Tagging

Ok, Library Lady...my apologies...I have been a little tardy in my postings. I wish I had some exciting excuse ...like a vacation...up north, canoeing sounds great...but no. I have been busy painting and have to admit I get really challenged by technology. However, I am still here and have found youtube to be valuable for such ridiculous questions like,how do I make a new posting??? lol lol lol Really?

Diigo?Tagging

I chose to bookmark 3 websites for this assignment.
www.maryheebner.com
www.opalwingcreations.com
www.pamgerrand.com

I did tag each website, however I can not find the tags now when I go back to the bookmark. This has been a theme. I do what is requested and then can't get back in access things later...deep breath... I do have a sense of humour though!

I have been doing the research weekly, just not the blog.If I had sent this out the week that it was assigned I would have said that I probably wouldn't use Diigo very often, as I already bookmark. However, I have used it several times since, preferring it to my other system.
