WEEK #4 ACTIVITY 9

I really liked Merlin. Some of the blogs were just rambling on and on and on.
It was like a bad tv show. No offence but, one blog talked about typing on the computer and her fingernails hit the keys and she had to cut them.....it went on and on and on. That's all for now!
WEEK #4 RSS AND NEWSREADERS

I found this to be very fustrating. Either the sites I picked didn't have a RSS feed or I picked a site that had an rss feed and went all the way through the subscribe process and the screen said to check to see if the site had a rss feed. I clicked and checked that each site had an rss feed, but it still didn't work. Sites that coworkers could get on several days ago were not available today. Very frustrating. Once the 10 items I was able to view the postings and that was fun.

WEEK 3 PHOTOS AND IMAGES
Here is a photo of a beautiful rose. I love roses and have a few bushes in my yard. They have grown about three feet and I have blossoms everywhere. I hope that the bugs do not invade! Any suggestions would be helpful. I had fun with this activity. I found flickr easy to use. I only had one hitch which Rita helped with. I enjoyed looking at other people's photos, especially London. There was one entitled cecelondon which showed an observation tower in the rain. There was rain drops on the lense of the camera and it made the picture come to life. I hope you liked this picture-it is a favorite of mine.

7 1/2 Habits-Strengths and Weaknesses

WEEK 1 THING 1 ABOUT THE PROGRAM: AN INTRODUCTION



I read the blog and discovered 23 Things. I listened to the pod cast about lifelong learners and about 7 1/2 Habits.





WEEK 1 THING 2: 7 1/2 Habits-Strengths and Weaknesses



The habit that is the easiest for me is number 2. I can accept responsibility for my own work and complete assignments on time. I am not afraid to ask for help from coworkers or use a book to find the answers. The hardest habit for me is number 4, which is to be a competent effective learner, to have confidence in myself. I have trouble with this because, how can you be confident when you are tackling something that you have never seen or tried before.



WEEK 2: BLOGGING



I registered my own blog and added several posts.

First Thoughts

Hi Everyone,

This is my first attempt at creating my own blog. I hope you will post comments to my page. I am participating in 23 Things for CCPL. Is anyone doing the same?
