embedding

Hooray, Hooray, at long last, persistance paid off.

This has only taken me about 20 times of trying to embed.

I am over the moon that this has worked.

This was certainly an adventure, and very trying at times.

Embedding


I have given up on this adventure, embedding a
video is just not working for me.
I must have missed the boat somewhere,
çause I just can't get a video to embed.

You Too

What an interesting experience. Have never seen You Tube before,
it was different. Some tubes were interesting and fun, while others
- well what can one say other than some people have way to much
time on their hands.
Could become addictive (maybe).
Great to use when libraries host authors and special occasions.

Wiki

Well here I am at week 5. At the start I really did not know if I wanted to complete this learning programme. But I have really taken on board all the new skills that I have learnt so far. The last few weeks have been a real blast, I am so excited and had such fun with the knowledge I have gained. I am now confident enough to help others with my "new found knowledge". Week 5 was great and the comments of others made me laugh.

RSS

RSS- ING HAS BEEN GREAT FUN. I REALLY HAD NOT HEARD OF RSS BEFORE,THEREFORE HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS OR WHAT IT DID. BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME SEARCHING AND DOWNLOADING. I HAVE EVEN TAUGHT MYSELF (AND OTHER WORKMATES) HOW TO DELETE UNWANTED ITEMS. HOW COOL IS THAT?
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ASSIST OTHERS WHEN IN TIME OF NEED.
I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS COMPONENT OF THE LEARNING 2.0.

Just trying to upload again, so I can get it into my head as to what to do.

I love this photo of these pups.
This was a hair raising experience today,
uploading this photo to my blog. Got lost, forgot password, oh what an experience.

blogging for dummies

I hope that by taking part in the learning program that I will have more technology know how and understand the terminology more, so I can keep up with my daughter.
Life long learning holds great opportunity for people of any age and gender, therefore you are never to old to learn new tricks.
I haven't really had anything to do with blogging before , so therefore I have already learnt how to blog and how it works.
Maybe libraries have some use for blogs (not convinced), the problem is people need computers to find blogs, and many of the older generation don't have and can not use such epuipment, so it is a disadvantage to them.
