Summary

My rating for my knowledge after taking the blogger course is 5. When I signed up I did not realize it would be mainly Blogging. I was hoping to get more knowledgable on Facebook. But I am learning Facebook through trial and error, so I am slowly making progress.
I found Library Lady irratating at times, with her silly comments when she explained lessons. They are not necessary.

I probably would have been better off in a class where I could have had my questions answered right away. When I wanted to go back to Task#6 to Publish to Web, I never got it done, because I could not get back to the part where I put my recipe down. I must have done something wrong when I entered my recipe, because I do not see it on the list.

I am not computer challenged. Have been working on them professionally for years, but this course was tricky at times.

Great way of keeping track of the books I have read. Wish I knew about this years ago.

Feeds

I have searched for sites that have no feeds, so I signed up for the googleblog site for starters.
Google Reader is easy to read.
Not sure if I will continue to use Google Reader. I don't spend a lot of time on the computer.

Family Picnic

I will be bringing a cole slaw salad.

It was interesting, but I did not create the website. Which I would have liked to learn. You only allowed us to contribute to an existing site.

Right now I don't have a need for my own wiki site, but you never know when it might come in handy.

My boss and I are going to learn how to maintain a website, that already exists. It should be interesting.

Why I do not want a Twitter account.

I am skipping this task since I am already on Facebook and do not need a Twitter account.  I do not know anyone on Twitter and the less exposure I have on the Internet the better.

My thoughts on Picasa.

Tags assigned to the picture I sent are: Flowers, Jacob's ladder, Screensaver, Tradescantia and PWA-Floral Favourites 6.  Interesting and beautiful photos.  Not sure if I will continue to use this application.

Opening a Twitter account.

I have decided not to open a Twitter account, since I already have a Facebook account and that is enough for me.  I do not spend a lot of time on the computer, so I don't need another social networking account.  Facebook is more for me to keep in touch with my nieces and nephews.

I have no concerns about social networking, as long as people don't get to personnal with their info.
