Well, I'm finding some of this a bit addictive. I've taken some fairly boring photos of the library to put on our Flickr account. Not very hard at all - that was a relief.
If you want to see how successful our Runescape night was @ Pakenham library you can have a browse. Better still i actually put the photos on flickr while the event was still on - talk about hot off the press! As i type i have 18 eager young kids playing runescape. Talk about loud in the library - they are having a blast which is nice to hear.
So i think i have successfully got the hang on Flickr - i'll know if people tell me they have seen the photos - sorry they aren't very fancy. Perhaps next week i might get more adventurous.
So far so good - i might even try to do next week tomorrow....

Week 3 Photos and images
Well, so far i've had a bit of a browse and i must say mentally i keep thinking to myself - "what can i do with what i'm learning and how can i use it in my life?"
I am familiar with uplaoding pictures etc as i have some on my work computer as well as my home computer. Who needs a photo frame with one photo in it when you can have a screen saver slideshow which shows off your family photos to anyone who walks by!
So - having relatives overseas and a large extended family i keep thinking about having a family blog or maybe having a flickr group which we can use for the whole family and mark it as private so that only the right sort of person can see!
I am a bit wary of having my family photos and life out on the web for all to see.
I think i'll keep reading and playing on flickr to see what or how i can use it!

Week 2 Blogging
Well - it says at the beginning of this week's notes "So, now begins the fun bit!"
I can honestly say that the past 30 minutes of agonising over what to do, can hardly be called "fun"!
I think the hard bit is over - naming, choosing colour schemes etc. Or - maybe that was the fun part. Perhaps now's the time to take a breath and start enjoying and learning.
I'm sure everyone will be able to guess who I am - from my blog name and also from the fact that I talk or write so much!
I must say I am looking forward to learning all this new technology stuff. I love learning new things and enjoy using technology (but only when I know what to do with it.) It seems that you never have time to learn new things. I have had an ipod for over a year and only just worked out it has a clock.... I think learning how to podcast may be an eye opener - I still don't know what it means!
It's funny sitting in the workroom with other staff members who are also worrying about what to do or say - at least we are all in the same boat.
That's all from me for this post - hope you have enjoyed it - not really sure what to say (which is a first for me!)
Looking forward to reading everyone's blogs ...
Have you guessed my favourite colour?
