Thing 9

I really fell in love with PictureTrail. The possibilities are endless! It's awesome! Just wanted to share some pictures of our trip to Lackland AFB, TX. My son's graduation was last month. I think of him all the time and miss him sooo much...

In the past I used Instant Messaging in MySpace(to keep in touch with my older kids) and Yahoo! Messenger. Today I tried "Chat with Neflin". So far no answer... I use Email to communicate with family, friends and colleagues. I also use text messaging for the same reasons. Web conferencing has a lot of advantages. You don't have to leave your work place in order to attend work shops. You don't have to worry about transportation especially when you have an old car like me (1990)!!

This was really fun! I found this image on Image Chef website

http://www.imagechef.com/ic/final_widget.jsp

There are so many cute images out there...I couldn't believe it.

I'm going to show these different websites to my daughter. I'm

sure she'll love them, too. Once again I really enjoyed learning

about Online Image Generators !!!

I really spent a lot of time on "Big Huge Labs" (way to much time...) It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. First I looked for images on Google that I liked. Then I looked for inspirational quotes. I clicked on "Motivator" and created this picture poster on my blog. I actually wanted to post it on the right side of my blog, under archives, but the writing showed up too small on the picture for anyone to be able to read it. I couldn't figure out how to enlarge the writing. I definitely need more time to practise. Help!

Boy, did I have fun searching for images on Flickr! I typed in key words such as sunsets, clouds, nature and found the most beautiful images you can imagine! I could easily post 50 images of beautiful landscapes, flowers, butterflies just breathtaking nature shots. Here is the URL for this gorgeous picture by a photographer on Flickr named CATeyes/Mitch http://www.flickr.com/photos/cateyes/2396582349You can almost smell the cherry blossoms! I've always wanted to go to Washington DC during that time of year. What an awesome photographer he is ! The colors in his pictures are spectacular and his shots are accompanied by inspiring words, which I looove!!! Take time to look at them, pleassee.

Okay, I finally set up an aggregator account, I tried both Bloglines and Google Reader. I was amazed with Google Reader because I didn't even have to add my blog friends, they just "appeared". I thought that was cool. Now that I know what RSS feeds/RSS icons are I'm glad to be able to use this tool.

After searching for blogs about Monet paintings(which I love by the way!!!) I really was surprised with the result. Google blog search gave me 40,524 results in comparison to Technorati's 336. I found a lot of great information and illustration on Google blog search. I'm sure I will use it on my next search!
