Week 5

Blogging has fallen by the wayside for nearly two months, no time, no computer, and no inclination! however completion is needed and a magic date is in my PDR document.
This week is about wikis. I enjoyed reading the examples given and feel there is a place for wikis but am slightly doubtful about the content of some, they seem very authorative but are really only one person's opinion - plenty of scope for bias and mis - information.

Week 4 still

Have done some further work on the flickr site and discovered the site I am interested in has an RSS feed so have added it to my bloglines account, it is a roundabout way of accessing the images but it works.

Week 4 glitch

Have just tried the link to the flickr image I found and the message is the blogger is not found, slight hitch, will go to bed and let my subconcious work.

Week 4

Flickr is the challenge this time. I have spent ages looking at photos, how to tag things etc and searched for various forms of embroidery, the results are fascinating, time consuming and envy making, there are some very talented people about.

The link shows a piece of work I liked, perhaps because of the initial!

could spend all night just looking and finding things I would like to do - better retire quickly.

Week 3 continues

Major victory, the Rollyo link is now on the page. This afternoon I made an appointment with Charlotte for next Thursday, to get some help with this blog. I think passing the thinking to some one else has made my mind work and find the solutions to my major problem, how to get a working link on the blog. I will keep my time with Charlotte and use it to gather some helpful tips and ideas.

Week 3 still

Tonight I was reading the paper and had a sudden inspiration about the link to my librarything site, so now to try my inspirational thought.

has it worked?

Week 3

I have had two attempts at week 3. The first effort which took about two hours was a disaster and my temper was very frayed - FUN - it was not, not even slightly, who wants to generate an image? decided this was definitely for people with lots of time to spare, an office and computer of their own and nothing to do!

My second try has been much more productive and the areas I explored LibraryThing and Rollyo are - FUN - apologies Kelly!

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Montmellick provides a link to my present reading - a weird mixture.

Week 2 is finally conquered

It works, why am I so dim, refuse to believe it is my age.

Week 2 continuing story - still continuing to continue

Eventually this must be right , my miracle was not so miraculous.

Week 2 continuing story - still continuing

The feeds link is proving elusive, have read the directions yet again and am hopeful that it will work this time.

miracle, miracle my brain is not total empty space.

Week 2 continuing story

My bloglines account is working well and information is racing in via the feeds.

http://www.bloglines.com/public/Montmellick is the address for the account.

Week 2

Getting into this blog has proved a major work, my gmail had a hissy fit and it has taken ages to access the account, emails to google, emails to my alternative email however finally, victory!

The establishing a bloglines account and adding feeds was simple in comparison but somewhere I have missed a vital direction and my bloglines access is not on this blog - so far. It is too late at night to read the directions yet again. tomorrow will have to do.

Week 1

An interesting exercise to create this, following directions over multiple screens is not one of my strengths.
My grateful thanks to those who said be sure to write all your usernames and passwords down, could have been total chaos without that advice.
Have re read the directions and discover I need to write fifty words for this post, knew multiple screens were my problem, my skills will need to improve over the next few weeks!!
