Flickr

Well Flickr is a lot of fun, I could play here for hours - found some amazing pics taken by people with loads of talent and fantastic cameras no doubt.

I like the fact that you can download pics from your computer, edit them, arrange them, store them and share them with friends. Saves a lot of storage on your home PC.

Love this cute squirrel, at first glance he looks like he has the latest spikey 'do' but actually its his very lush tail you he is showing off!

Reminds me of the squirrels in London parks, so tame and so fond of tourists peanuts!

I will return to Flickr I think.....

Rollyo - sort of!

I decided that I liked the look of Marlowe's alternative to doing the Rollyo thing and have followed his instructions and I have added a Page Element to list the sites I am keeping up with. These are probably a bit depressing and not recommended for entertainment!!

LibraryThing

I really like LibraryThing, a great way to share books that I have enjoyed with others and to get some recommendations from other readers who enjoy the same kind of books that I do. I have listed some of the travel books and the odd fiction title that I have read and loved over the past year. See my list at http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=sharleenbishop13&deepsearch=

Yummy Icecream Sundae

I found this great site where you can design your own ice cream cone or sundae - this is the link to my sundae: http://www.cybercones.com/sundae-vanilla-s-ch-2-yf.htm

The way ahead?

This was fun - I have learnt how to make a fake airline ticket and send it to a friend for their birthday!!! Had a look at Elf Yourself but was disappointed to find the elves are not at home seeing it isn't Christmas of course. Did have some fun last Christmas doing that mind you - a bit bizarre seeing yourself as a singing dancing Christmas elf. Also played about with the yummy cup of coffee and ended up writing on a road sign that looks like it is in the middle of nowhere - going nowhere???? Decided that I would put this one on my blog.

Just a tad behind

OK so it's Week 3 and I've just got around to doing Week 2. That's for the very obvious reason that the school holidays started last week, we have had mountains of books to shelve courtesy of RFID tagging, 2 staff sick, 1 on leave and not many left!
I now have a rudimentary understanding of RSS feeds and Bloglines and have managed to open a Bloglines account and subscribe to several feeds. I can see that this could become addictive and save time if properly used.

Found the instructions a bit off the mark and ended up exploring on my own - if kids can figure out how to do all this just by playing about then so can I!!! That's assuming that I've done it all properly of course......

Search and Rescue on standby

OK here we go - first time into this new world of blogging! It feels pretty strange but exciting too to be learning such new cutting edge stuff - means I can keep up with alll the kids who sometimes seem to know ten times as much as me about the new whizz bang stuff on the net. And great that it can be made fun and we can do it in work time - yay!

If I get lost in here will someone send out a search party for me????? Please!
