Week 5 has been an interesting and fun week.

I created my own search engine using Rollyo. My topic of interest is container gardening. I found many interesting sites and I am still adding to my searchroll.

I found the Library Thing very useful. I have cataloged some of the books I have recently read. There are more to come. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/cmachura

Using the online image generator was fun. With Easter around the corner, I decided to do some early Easter egg decorating.

Week 4 RSS Feeds

I can't believe it is already the fourth week. Blog searching was easy, fun, and interesting. The difficult part was choosing which three to post on the discussion board (there were so many).
An advantage of RSS over bookmarking is that you save a lot of time by using the RSS reader to find out what's new instead of visiting each of your favorite blogs.

Week 3

I plan on using flickr for personal photos because it would be a great way to organize them and send them to friends and family. The flickr tool I like is Prntr Killr. I would love to do a calendar using pets of family and friends.
I still haven't had much time to "fancy up" my blog. I promise it will improve as time goes by.

First Entry

Hi,

This is my first blog entry. I have to admit it is somewhat confusing. I will be working on the details as time goes by. I did do a blog search and found one that interested me. It is on Chicago History.
