Activity 10

HAVING FUN WITH ONLINE IMAGE GENERATORS


Online image generators was a lot of fun and I enjoyed and understood what it was all about more when I visited http://generatorblog.bolgspot.com/
rather than
http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/
or
http://www.letterjames.com/start.php?mod=image-personalization

I had fun googling for a pic of Marilyn Monroe (just a good one of her head and face) and I cut and pasted that on to a figure that did this amazing dance to really groovy music!

Then it hit me that there was so much out there in the world wide web and that I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of. The other realization was that I needed to have ample TIME to SPARE to PLAY around and to EXPLORE the whole gamut of cyber activities.

Activities 8 & 9

Bloglines....Bloglines....Bloglines

Here I am @ http://www.bloglines.com/public/blognoramus

Also with news feeds, I discovered a whole "other" world! I found Google Blog search easy to use but Feedster had a lot of interesting stuff, in particular the topic on "dog training". From "housebreaking your new puppy" to "puppy agility training". Cool!

FLICKR - Here I come!

What do you know!
Created a Flickr account today and posted my pictures! YOOHOO!!!!

You can now view my Flickr pictures on my blog.

Canoeing is one of my all time favourite things to do. You get to see postcard pics like this one - only it's for real when you're resting mid stream, your arms screaming with pain and the tranquility and peace around just sweep over you.

You put up your tent for the night and just before the campfire singing & fooling around start - you get another wondrous view at dusk.

Enjoy my pics.

Made it on 18 September 2007!

WOW! Actually got my very own Blog!
This is going to be FUN!
