Week 2

This week we are learning about Flickr and del.icio.us and tagging.

Flickr

A good site for people to link to their blog to share their photographs. It would also be very helpful for anyone interested in scrapbooking.

I chose this image just for the look.

Full Moon, Finley Wildlife Refuge, Watercolor Technique on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Some of the tags used are:

Pixel Packing Mama
Dorothy Delina Porter

and it belongs to a few sets

Canon PowerShot A720 IS (set)

Canon- all Canon (set)

The Corvallis, Oregon Years (set)

The Corvallis, Oregon Years Part 5 (set)

Moon (set)

Del.icio.us

I found this to be a very interesting site and have already made good use of it. As previously mentioned, I am interested in blogging from a business perspective and I can see that Delicious will be very helpful in this regard.

Roll on Week 3

Week 1

This is the first night in the learning process of blogging. I have joined this 12 week program at the local library and this is the first night of the course. By the end of the course I expect to learn about the benefits of RSS feeds and how to use these benefits in business.

It is very basic at this stage and tonight's introductory class is just to familiarize the student on: what is a blog, how to start a blog, and then to create a blog.

I have a little experience having written a blog previously. My main problem with blogging is knowing what to write. The basis of blogging is a diary of events in your daily life. Blowing my own trumpet has never been my forte. However, I am certain it will get easier once I gain more experience.

The interest level will increase each week. Next week we will be learning how to explore some photosharing sites, tagging, and discovering a social bookmaking site.

Stay tuned.
