Fun with Image Generators


OK, I went over there and messed around a bitsy. I found a goofy, fun lil' thing called Dummiez Book Cover Maker 2008. I've attached one of my creations here. You can make your own (if you're really that bored) at http://www.signgenerator.org/books/dummies/


Have fun,

H.

Bloglines

OK, I set up the Bloglines newsreader account...now what the #@&^ do I do with it? Can somebody please explain to me in a clear, succinct fashion how these feeds work without assuming that I have any idea what I'm doing? :)

KIN

Roger McCoy and I will begin doing Know It Now here at Northern Lights this afternoon. While we are certainly excited to be the branch "point people" for this resource, we haven't had much of an opportunity to practice due to a software issue. Hence, we'll be flying by the seats of our pants!
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks,
H.

Third Party Apps

Created a custom jigsaw puzzle with an old photo using the "jigsaw" tool in fd's flickr toys.
Here's a link: http://flickr.com/photos/30387005@N07/2845325541
Enjoy,

Flickr Visit

OK, I went over to Flickr and kicked around for a bit. Here's a link to an interesting pic of Liverpool Town Hall that I found by clicking on the "map of the world" link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10691940@N08/2833498215

I took note of this one because some of my ancestors came from a little town right up the road from Liverpool.

Out,
H.

Will Need Some Help

I am a "book person" and a highly sceptical technophobe. I will definitely need assistance as I muddle my way through these assignments.
Help me, somebody, please...
