Setting up RSS feeds seemed complicated at first but once I got started it really wasn't that hard. As I watch to see which feeds give me the most pertinent information I'll add more or delete the ones that aren't useful. Nice to be able to sellect the news/information you recieve. Busy times mean it's important your inbox isn't full of stuff. Thanks for sharing these tools to help streamline my life. :-)

WIKI-FUN
Another tool that is simple to use and offers a plethora of uses. I'm exploring the possibility of creating a Brown Family WIKI to help our family stay connected in a more organized fashion. We do not communicate very well any longer as every is going their own direction and what they forget to share important imformation. It seems like a good place to save/share important dates, phone numbers and up coming events. I'll keep you posted on our successes and challanges.

Flickr had these wonderful pictures that Farhad had posted there. He has a wonderful eye for color and these flowers have brightened my day and will last well into the winter. Thank you for allowing me to hold on to summer just a little longer.

Baby Steps

For a person who has not had a lot of computer experience except for in a Main Frame environment little steps are very important. After several tries I have managed to download a picture, get the blog registered and create an Aviatar. This may not seem significant to manybut the things that are being learned will enable me to keep exploring deeper and deeper in an unfamiliar area. Let's see what I can do next.

Creating a Blog as easy as 1-2-3

Using the internet and it's gadgets gets easier everyday. Stepping out of your confort zone is sometimes hard, but the Aurthings program looks like it will map the exploration out step by step!!! Thanks for leading the way!!!
