Week (6)

I have added a tag to my account. The instructions for this week's exercises are sooo long and my patience ran out. Tagging and all the other stuff made me have a headache. I listened to the tutorial and tried to follow the directions. I don't feel that I got everything that I was supposed to out of this exercise. It's hard to try to do this at work. Most exercises must be done from your home computer, especially, this del.icio.us system because of your browser, I think. Anyway, I feel like a failure for this one, but I tried.

Del.icio.us

I have set up an account for Del.icio.us. That's as far as I have gotten.

Week (6)

It's Thursday and I haven't started the exercises for this week. I need motivation. Someone out there in "blog land", send me some encouragement.

Completion of Week (5) Task

At 10:41am, I finally was able to attach Rollyo to my blogger. I am so happy at this moment. I pray that I will remember this stuff. Other employees that have gone thru this are very supportive here at the library, especially my new friends and co-employees, Rose and Christina. It is such a pleasure to work with them. We have become a team. Well, I can't say that I am looking forward to Week (6), but I am ready for the next phase of lifelong learning. Wish me God's Blessings!!!!!

Rollyo

I am still having a problem with this exercise. I can't add the site to my blogger. Why, you ask? I don't know. I have followed the instructions, but so far, no success. Back to the drawing board.

LibraryThing

I like this site and will probably use it after completion of the 23 Things adventure. I think this is going to be a life changing experience for me. Even though I don't get comments posted from other bloggers on my blog(smile), I have gotten excited now about my experience each week. In spite of me, I am doing the exercises. I want to be successful in this adventure. It has become very important to me. At first, I thought, I will do this because someone told me I had to and it will be over and I will never use it again, but I am slowly getting to like it and I want to continue using it and learning more. I think this will keep my mind occupied and alert.

WEEK 5 OF 23 THINGS

I previewed the image generators that were listed. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Week (5) was supposed to be fun, but I wasn't having any fun starting out on the exercises. I finally found a generator that appealed to me. Guees what! I was successful in adding it to my blog. I was able to customize it and add my own words and get it on other to the blog. It took me (2) tries, but finally, SUCCESS!!! I am so excited about this. I hope someone out there understands what I am feeling. I have been able to get to week (5) and complete each assignment. At (58), this is monumental for me. Usually, I have no confidence with new things done thru the computer. I have mastered the internet and I can pay my bills and view my accounts. I can send and receive emails, but outside of these things, I am lost. Blogging, flickring, etc. are not my comfort zones, but I have managed to do them. HOORAY FOR ME!!!!!!!

ONLINE IMAGE GENERATOR

Merlin

I subscribed to Merlin, but I had to use my library email address to verify who I was. I have reviewed it , but I don't know if I will have time to use it after the 23 things are completed. So far, the problem I realize with all of this is time to play around in everything, so that you don't lose what you have learned. Most of the folks that I have talked to that already did the "23 Things" didn't really use it after they completed the training. But, I am determined to finish.

Week 4 - RSS

I enjoyed this one somewhat. I am still a little uncomfortable, but I feel as if I am accomplishing something on a weekly basis and that feels wonderful. I asked my computer savvy kids about blogs, flickr and rss. Noone was aware of them. They had heard some things, but never used. That made me feel good!!!! My blogline is public at http://www.bloglines.com/public/amfonta.

MDLEARNING2

This has been quite an experience. I have surprised myself. I feel as free as this whale.

Winter

Just thought I would try it again. Beautiful picture.

Sunset

Success!! I have uploaded a picture. Don't ask me how, but it is done.

Technology

Well, I have completed some of Week (3) exercises. 1. Set up Flickr acct. 2.Posted a comment on someone elses blog.
It is 8:50pm and my head is hurting. I can't post a picture and connect Flickr and my blog. I have looked at examples and I still am lost. What if I have no pictures of my own as yet. Can I just get a nice scene from my computer and post that to my blog? If someone out there hears me, please answer. In the meantime, I will be in front of my laptop crying.

Flickr

I am once again lost, but I did manage to register in yahoo for Flickr. Now, I have Google, Yahoo and Hotmail. I was perfectly satisfied with Hotmail and one password. But, I am going to continue until all 23 things are completed. Now, I need to remember where I put that sheet that tells me what I have completed.
