Week 5 - Thing 10

Alright, I couldn't leave this alone (maybe a life-lesson from my dog, Washington?!?), so I am going to try this again! (And don't ask me how this "meez" ended up beside my post, rather than in it, which is what I was trying to do! Who knows? I may get it figured out yet!)

Week 5 - Thing 10 - "My Meez"

Well, as you can see from the post below, I somehow actually managed to get my "meez" posted to my blog, but a)I have no idea which of the couple of things I tried actually worked! and b)when I tried to edit the post to add this text, I couldn't figure out how to do it, so this is now a separate blog entry! I tried some sort of chalkboard, and also a "My Little Pony" generator, both of which I was able to do, but then could not figure out how to add to my blog, so when DK suggested "Meez" I thought I would give that a try! It was fun, and I might go back to play around with it again!

At any rate, I am at home, not at work, right now, and am not sure what all else this week's "assignments" entail, so I guess I will come back to this later. I was just frustrated because I couldn't get my "meez" to post at the library yesterday, and decided to give it another shot! Go me! (although I still don't know how I did it - I may try another one later just to see if I can retrace my steps!). At any rate, all for now!

Week 5 - Thing 10 - Image Generator - My "Meez"

Week 4, Thing 9 - Merlin, Feedster, etc.

Well, I located Merlin, looked around, and was able to add Merlin to my Bloglines feeds. I then started to try using Feedster - no easy feat. I started by searching for blogs, feeds, etc. from my daughter's college - nothing, unless I was not searching in the best way. I then searched for Halo 3, and got several feeds - xboxspace, Christian Science Monitor, Tactical Games - to name a few. I figured out how I would add xboxspace to my Bloglines feeds (not that I really wanted to - just wanted to know if I COULD do it!), and then started trying to comprehend the Widgets - "Greek to me", so I am moving on from Feedster. I then looked at Technorati - different because it only lets you search for blogs - I tried again to search for blogs having to do with MICA - found several in which it was mentioned, but none I was really interested in, although I didn't go down the whole list. I then tried searching for a rather obscure blog I knew existed which my daughter was required to post to for one of her classes a year or so ago, and WAS able to find it, so I guess it could be useful for looking for something you might know the title of, but not the web address. All in all, I can't see myself using a "feed-finding" source very often, but you never know, now do you?

Week 4, Thing 8 - RSS Feeds

Well, I got the account created - easy - and finally got the Feeds added. The particpants' blogs feeds were easy to do, but the others were a bit harder. There is also a question of how often I will actually go to my Bloglines account to look at it - with everything else I have on my plate, I honestly doubt it will be a top priority. Even when I was getting Unshelved in my e-mail, it got to the point that I was mostly just deleting it without reading it because I didn't have the time. I really wanted to add the PLCMC's Readers Club feed, which is one I probably would have made a point of going to look at, but it said there were no feeds available for the site when I clicked on Subscribe, so...either something was going on with the web site, or I was not doing it correctly - hmmm...which do you think it was? (Smile!)
