Images, RSS feeds, & News Readers

Well yesterday I either worked very hard or did nothing at all; I can't decide which.

When I saw the picture icon on the Blogger Posting window, I just had to try it out. The least complex method seemed to be to use Google, find a suitable image, and use the code offered and the url of the image. It worked. As web stuff gets more user friendly, I move towards it by learning a few more "technical" moves. Picture a woman running, arms outstretched, towards an open laptop rushing through the air towards her. They embrace.

Spurred on by this success, I looked up definitions for RSS, worked on setting up the RSS feed for this, my blog. To find out if I had been successful, I clicked on the icon, took the link, and created a new channel in my Mac News Aggregator. It worked!!!! So now I'm going to start collecting educational blog channels. ZOWIE! I'm not sure what I'm doing but I'm doing it.

Phil's Film Workshop 10th Anniversary - Camping Resolutions!

I resolve never again to -

• use a tent with the floor space of 2 air mattresses
  
• sleep in a tent I can't stand up in
  
• stay in a tent more than 2 fields away from the porta-potty
  
• sleep on air mattresses over 20 years old and unchecked for air leaks

However, the people were a pleasure, the food was great, the films were interesting, and seeing dawn and hearing a distant farmer call out "co-boss, co-boss, co-boss" to his cows reminding me of my grandparents farm - priceless!
