Completed #9 of Web Challenge - Up to date!

Just a heads up that I completed all steps including #9. Looking forward to the rest of the challenge! I have to say I am enjoying this technology challenge. I went to the forum today when someone from the Web committe was there and spoke about how we have to learn on our own about technology. I have to say that I have been doing that for awhile. I teach myself things as I go along!

RSS/Bloglines update

Just want to say after checking my "Bloglines" the first day, I found information under NY Times , one my new feeds, about a play (Gypsy) that I will be going to see in April. It was a great review. I am enjoying reading about so many different things with my new RSS feeds.

RSS & Bloglines

Wow, I can't believe myself sometimes. I have now created an account on "Bloglines". I have added over 14 "feeds". I picked a variety of subjects. Some of the RSS feeds on my blogline are "About Gardening", USA Today, Asbury Park Press, CNN, Rolling Stones, Simply Recipes and a couple of others.

I continue to find these steps challenging, but at the same time, I am glad I am learning how to do these things and learn the proper terminology. I go home and share with my two daughters - ages 22 & 24 what there mom has been up too!

I will enjoy going to my blogline at home and finding out quickly the current news. By reading the library news/blogs - the library can obtain up to date suggestions to use.

I found adding adding the newspapers to my Blogline more difficult then adding suggestions from their list.

Now get to take a breather and wait for Technology Blogging! Until then!!!

Seven & 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learning

After reading the lifelong learning tips, I find myself thinking the easiest habit for me is learning and growing through technology. I am enjoying this challenge and look forward to learning more. As for the most difficult of habits, I would say having not having enough confidence in myself. I also need to realize that all problems will eventually work out. I should try to think of problems as challenges.
