Blogging

Week 4 now and I'm a new recruit for blogging. Yes it will help me in my job and possibly my life but there are only so many hours in the day. And my life will not be about blogging.......I feel that it is for the nerds who sit at their computers all day....sorry if I am offending anyone out there in blogland. My life wants to keep things simple, and my head is already buzzing with too much information. What I am into is really the simple side of life.......good music, mother nature and a chat with friends discussing our next travel adventure, all terribly boring for some, but it keeps the headchat to a bearable level. And hey, most of my friends are very much the same.
So I've added all the correct feeds, only have to make the time to read them.......... I can see their virtues for referencing, but working in a public library gives you such a wide scope for any sort of reference question it would still be a wild card pick for the definitive info feed.
Ciao for now.

It's called survival..........

Well, I've made it to week 4. Though not without an emotional wobbly............. going on annual leave for a couple of weeks created a panic of sorts, this time frame just keeps pushing out further. It also felt like I had forgotten everything I'd ever learnt about blogging, flickr etc, but it's now coming back with a little help from some colleagues........thanks girls.
I did enjoy Flickr, managed to load some favourite shots of my last holiday to Europe and then I successfully loaded some workplace photos of my library refurbishment, so am feeling not so incompetent now. This met the suggested adventure requirement for week 3.
The bonus with Flickr has been viewing photos of one of my grandsons and his family. His father is a keen photographer and computer graphics expert, and he has loaded many photos onto Flickr so anyone can catch up with their family photographs in an instant. This has been great particularly for them as they have close family in Ireland, enabling them to see the first grandchild through Flickr and also Youtube, where Dad has also loaded family videos. All this modern techno stuff has really enriched this family's life by enabling the sharing of photos and videos across the other side of the world for very little expense.
Well, ever onward..... next is RSS.........I can hardly wait.........
