summary

Hello LL,
After taking the Betty Blogger course I would have to say my knowledge is somewhere between a 7-8. I was not sure what to expect when I started the course but quickly found that there is so much more to learn and explore. I will go back and review what I have learned especially when I have more time to work at my own speed.
LL you were terrific! You were informative, funny and kept my interest during the whole learning process.
I found that the most challenging part was when the links did not work, because I thought maybe it was something I was doing wrong.
The self-directed learning model was convenient as I could work on the lessons as I had the time.
I would definitely recommend this to others!

Thanks for all your hard work and patience teaching us.
Regards
Lynn's  Lounge

Library Thing was pretty neat. It keeps track of all your books. I would consider using it again in the future.

Feeds

I suscribed to:

About.com Gardening
Epicuruous.com: New Recipes

Google Reader was very easy to use. I will continue to use Google Reader because it is a great way to find different information all in one stop.

I will be bringing a delicious creamy coleslaw to the potluck picknic.
I found the wiki experience easy to use and straight foreward.
I actually do have need for this type of application as my son is renting a house with four other students, and it will come in handy coordinating what each one has to contribute for the year.

Picasa Web Albums

Good Morning All,

Sorry I am a bit behind, just catching up now.
I went into Picasa Web Albums and I thought it was pretty neat. All the pictures looked absolutely phenomenal. I chose a picture of sailboats racing, they were on their downward leg and therefore had spinnakers up. This photo was tagged under sailing and racing.
I will continue to use Picasa in the future, it is a great way of finding incredible photos of all subjects.

No Tweeting for Me.

I did not register for twitter because I am not a fan of microblogging. Updating people on my day to day tasks, moods and outings is not something that interests me.
I am a private individual for the most part (just disregard the blog for that point) and want to keep doing what I do to myself.
I am skeptical of social networking because I grew up with only a few of my closest friends knowing what was going on in my life; not thousands of internet "friends".
With social networking one makes themself susceptible to unwanted lurking.
