Okay, here I go another week behind and dangerously close to being 2 weeks behind with this class. I think every week is getting harder and harder. I finally set up my delicious account and I'm still debating on whether or not I will keep it. I think it would be a fantastic resource for someone who uses the internet quite frequently and also for someone who needs to access things quickly from computers other than their personal computer. I myself do not use the internet much outside of work. And even at work I use it mainly to search authors etc. We'll just have to see if it becomes useful to me or not.
As for the ease of use, I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Creating the account is simply and bookmarking and tagging is also fairly simple. However, I did not find it easy to create the bundle. Yes, it was easy after I watched the video but had I not had the video available I don't know if I would have figured it out. Computer savvy I am not.

RSS Feeds
Okay, I keep falling about a week behind on my 23 things Kansas. I just finished the RSS feed lesson and I'm not sure that I still completely understand how this works. I think it will still require some "playing" on my part. I decided to use Google Reader simply because I already have a google account and I thought that it would be the easiest and fastest way to go. The last thing I need to do is create another count with another password to remember. And since I'm using blogger everything seems to be tied into one nice spot except my flickr. I've put several different sights on as RSS feeds. I have a scrapbooking blog, soaps.com, people, CBS, NBC, FoxNews and Survivor. I have my news feeds and I also have my guilty pleasure feeds along with a little bit of my favorite hobby. There never seems to be enough time in the day but I really hope to spend more time learning about this aspect of the internet. I'm sure it will save me time. Instead of typing in each address I can just open google reader and click on what I'm interested in at the time.

CCL - Burlington 2/8/2010
Hello all. It's taken me some time to get this lesson completed. I think so far this has been the most challeging. I absolutely love this lesson though. It is forcing me to learn how to get my pictures in a safe and fun place. Less fear of losing them when the computer inevitibly crashes. I can't wait to really figure out piknik and adding fun touches to my photos. I have so many to upload. I'm also looking forward to having some prints made and seeing how that works for me. I'm a big scrapbooker so this should be fantastic. I chose to blog this photo because I think it shows not only the beauty of a fresh snow but also how beautiful our library is.
