Wow, would you look at that. I have successfully created (following an example I found) and put this image on this blog. That is amazing. I think that I will spend some more time with this since there are so many options of things you can do. Who thinks up this stuff!!! Someone with more time and imagination than I have that's for sure.

Better luck next time

Well, my first attempt at adding an image to my blog was unsucessful. Stay tuned for another attempt.

I haven't gotten 10 RSS links on my blogline account yet, but I am getting there. As I am seeing things I am adding. I find that after the first couple of adds, things are starting to make sense. Pretty soon I will be an old hand at it. I am still not sure that I would use this all that much, but perhaps it will grow on me. I must admit it is nice to go to just one location, but when I get there I don't seem to look at everything there. Oh well, I guess it is like changing a habit. You have to do it enough times to make it happen without thinking alot about it. So I keep on doing it....

After much confusion I finally got some websites added to my blogline account. This is not the first time I have said to myself (and mumbled out loud) that I just don't think this is worth the aggravation. After I finally got the jist of things I am thinking, perhaps I was a bit hasty with that thought. I have added a few things mostly from the nice list that they give you to get started, and a few things that I check out daily--like pictures and news of my littlest granddaughter. If I can remember to go to the bloglines first (teaching this old dog new tricks) it will actually be kind of nice. I am going to make an effort to bump around and find things that are of interest and maybe educational to look at. Now on to the next task.

What better than to see a future librarian in training. This is my grandaughter Lorelei kicking back in her bed reading. I am sure that her mother had something to do with this as it was her favorite thing to do when she was little and probably still is.

Since I don't have a digital camera (my husband does but I have never used it) I downloaded this picture from a flickr account that Samantha has for family to keep up with Lorelei. It was really quite easy. If I had lots of pictures that I wanted to make available, I would certainly use that flickr account. It is such a great thing to pop in there and see the latest pictures from family.

As I look at the 7 1/2 habits list, I realize that have gotten lax in my attitudes for learning new things. I guess I am at a point where I am coasting a bit. My job is an familiar and routine with not much new in the challenge department. Perhaps this will be the jump-start that I need to undertake some new challenges. If nothing else, I have stopped and taken a good look at myself. Now I just need to motivate myself to new things.

So here I go.....entering the high tech world known as the 21th century. I am not ready, but will give it a go. Whatever happened to a good old paper journal to record your thoughts? Perhaps I will actually get into this, but as of now I am not so sure, but can't hurt to move ahead or at least be dragged along 1 step behind everyone else.
