Thing #4 Technorati

I went into Technorati. This did not feel successful to me. I put in a few search words, then my brain went blank. Did not remember how to add these onto my blogline for future reference.

At this time, I would like to continue using Technorati. It was great to know that this search engine was out there for me to us. This will definitely be a "favorite". I am wanting to read more infomation on health issues, i. e. arthritis.

The biggest frustration for me at the moment is finding time to get onto the computer and type in the blog.

Thing #3

RSS. A new acronym for me to try and remember. I like the way Oprah stated it "ready for some stories". It will be nice to have the news or stories come to me instead of thinking about "surfing" for the story.

I am still trying to get use to the different thoughts and area, i.e. blog vs.bloggerline. Will be looking forward to getting the blog decorated. I am really liking the ones that have gotten dressed up.

Thing #2-Blogging

This is my second attempt at "Thing 2". I clicked on Save as Draft and then failed to click on publish. How does one find a draft that has been saved; maybe I don't need to be rewriting this.

Blogging is referred as journaling. It will allow me to sit down and do something that I have not done since I was in Middle School. Most days I just do tasks that need to be done at work or around the house not really thinking about relating it to another person.

Sure hope this gets easier!

Thing #1

It is Saturday night and I was going to work on my homework. I am a little frustrated because I worked on Thing #1, Thursday night. Now I am unable to see what I typed; wonder what I did wrong that it don't gave. Hope this one works. If this post gets void too, I will start to wonder if I should really be taking this class.

When I read some of the posts, it was so insightful to read about the ladies that I have know for two and a half years and realize that I really don't know much about their lives outside of work. I realize that, I am a difficut person to get to know. I am very private and I hate to talk about myself. I have always been in awe of people how can talk and make you feel as if you have known them already a lifetime.

Doing this class and reading about how 2.0 is used in everyday life, it really does make me feel as if I need to get "with it". My husband and I have never been comformable with letting our kids do "myspace" or texting. In fact is has only been the last year that we bought a cell phone and that was so my daughter could get in touch with us going to college. We thought that she would need it with all the driving she had to go to once she got acceptbled in the Radiology program.

My son is using a "pay as you go" phone. He is frequently saying that it doesn't work when he needs it. I think he just wants something fancier like a lot of his friends.

This will be a new adventure for me. Hopefully, I will handle it with grace/

Hi Media Clerks,
I am just beginning as a blogger. I have never done this before.
Blogging seems really confusing.
