Activity 7 Posting a note about technology

Looking for the photo in flickr was fun. What I find confusing was having to open an account in yahoo and then in google when I thought I was all fixed by setting up the blog in the first instance! Debra helped by explaining that it's like signing in with different user ID and passwords.
The I found that there is a difference in Posting and Template.
Must remember to use Posting.
Debra's a great teacher - thank god for people like her!

Activity 6 mashups

Had to go into flickr to select a photo, save it on my pictures on h drive.
Then uploaded photo to fd's flckrtoys, filled up the calendar template, linked to flickr account, then selected Blog this.

Water drops in the sun light

It took a while to look for a photo which had an icon "blog this" on top of the photo so I could attach the photo to my blog. But here it is. Now how do I position this next to the photo?Can only move text to 3 possible positions. This looks best - can't quite put text to left of pictue. Could I have done it at the point of downloading the photo?

Gungho blog

Crash through or burn! Figured this was the best way to do it rather than spend too much time thinking. Have already spent much much more than the 15 minutes recommended.
Easiest 7 1/2 habit: Create learning toolbox
Hardest: Have confidence
So creating this blog fast is a new habit for moi!
