Technology challenged

I am no expert on the computer so this whole exercise has been one huge learning curve and so time-consuming. I have enjoyed Week 4 as it has introduced me to Flickr and other associated sites.Flickr has so many possibilities if you are needing images of any type, hence my Yorkshire Moors slideshow.

My Trading card

Yorshire Moors

I have loaded a slide show of the Yorkshire Moors which I took from Flickr.Enjoy a look at my home county

Wordle Fun


This was fun to do. It would be quite useful for display ideas in the library,
so I will keep it in mind.As you can see from the wordle I am a cat lover.

kids lit


You will find here some kid lit sites I poached from Google. This exercise wasn't user-friendly and I found it very similar to RSS feeds. We tried several times to transfer the website addresses from Rollyo to my blog and eventually succeeded. Great now I've actually finished week 3

My library

My favourite reads
These are some of the books I have enjoyed reading over the last few weeks. My favourite was 'A Thousand Splendid Suns', not quite as good as 'The Kite Runner' but a very gripping read which was hard to put down. The 'Uncommon Reader' was also very interesting. It is Alan Bennett's take on the Queen as a 'reader' - quite humourous and a quick read!

Now after having some expert tuition I am feeling much more au fait with RSS feeds and bloglines,but i still need lots of practice!
Thank you Sue for all your patience and time on Sunday morning,gosh where did an hour and a half go to?
Such a time waster, but you certainly learn lots on the way

In the beginning

It is now the beginning of the third week and I haven't managed to find time to do the second week.There always seems to be something else to occupy my time with especially as it is the school holidays.
Hopefully I will have time sometime later this week!

Setting up my blog

This hasn't been the easiest thing I have done, quite challenging for someone who isn't too computer literate. But now I am finding it quite addictive and want to try and do more. Hopefully I will be able to customize my template tomorrow.
Cheers
