More Flickr Fun was way more fun than the first part of the exercise!

I am blown away by the Color Pickr and the Montagr. The trading cards are fun, too. I used this image to play with the trading card - my fantasy room!

This exercise reminds me of the Murphy's Law that states, "Before you can do anything, something else has to be done first."

I agree that online learning is an important part of our future, but this whole exercise would have been so much simpler and quicker if someone had stood in front of me and told me what to do next. I have used a lot of time here.

RSSing

I am relieved to be catching up with the rest of the world. I'm also glad to read that this portion of the program will probably be the most difficult. It took longer than the previous lessons.

It seems that everything I read online has the little RSS button.....until I actually began looking for them! I added the ten required links, but expect the list will evolve as I get into more sites I really want to use. Did anyone else find that the ALA sites had dead links? Hmmm.

Using RSS feeds will be wonderful. I do use specific sites on a regular basis, and sometimes I can't remember whether I checked some of them last month or week, or not. Now their updates will be forced upon me.

I had a great deal of difficulty showing my list of feeds, as instructed. Many thanks to Auburn Librarian for her RSS posting that steered me in the right direction. For those of you who may also have trouble, be sure to click on the tab on your bloglines page that allows you to make your blogroll public (the default was private). You also have to have your username entered in the blog set up for it to work.

Another new trick!
