Thing # 20

I have already been to the youtube website but..... I had no idea how easy it would be to post a video on my blog. It took less than 5 minutes. I really like the youtube video I posted about the raccoon. I had a pair raccoons at my old house. Raccoons get into almost as much trouble as I do......almost.

Thing # 14

I LOVE Technorati!!!!!! I will got to this site all the time. It has everything all rolled into one huge website. You can search anything and everything and find at least several blogs related to what you want. Just to check out how it worked I searched "Southern Maryland". It came up with hundereds of blogs of people talking about living here in So. MD. How cool is that? Ok I need to get out of my camper (long story :-))a little more......

Thing # 12

Rollyo is not something I would ever use. I know it's there and I can tell people not to waste their time on it.....lol

Thing # 9

Who knew all these "Library Blogs" were out there????? I kinda feel like I'm behind on technology right now.......

Thing # 8 ~ RSS Feeds

Thing #11

I have never been to the website LibraryThing. I love the fact that you can put in a title that you have read and all types of suggestions pop up. I really like the reviews that people can post about books they have read. It helps me decide if it is worth reading or not. My own library is now created that I have either read or want to read....time permitting of course.

Thing #10

Creating avatars was the so much fun! I have already created a Yahoo avatar so I went to Meez.com. They have animation, backgrounds, and so many more options than Yahoo offers. The process was smooth and easy after I got started. I just moved into a camper trailer temporarily until I can clear the land for my house so I loved the fact that they had a camper background. Every time I look at the animation on my avatar I start laughing because I chose "freaked out". Check it out!

Thing # 7 ~ Technology Stuff

I am really interested in uploading pictures to Flickr. I love this site and the fact that you can share your photos with the entire world! I have an account set up but I have yet to actually transfer any of my photos to the website. There are so many things you can do with your photos...mashups, create cards, anything and everything you could possible want to do. I also love the fact that you can join groups and talk about the things that interest you the most with people that have the same passions.

Thing #6 ~ Flickr Mashups

I'm working on this.....haven't quite mastered how to do this. If anyone has done this "Thing" please give me some pointers.

I have since talked to Phyllis and she informed me that we just need to know about mashups.....we really don't need to actually do a mashup.....thank god.

Thing #4 ~ Register your blog

I've registered my blog....actually I think I registered it twice....maybe 3......lol.

Thing #3 ~ Set up your own blog

Here it 'tis
