Week 4 - my flickr experience

As you can see from my previous posts, this week I managed to upload 2 flikr photos, which I'm quite pleased about. I did this using flikr's blogging tool, which is pretty straight forward to use. I found it a bit complicated using flikr initially, especially when it came to putting photos in order, but eventually I figured out sets and that made it a bit easier. Now that I've got the hang of it, I think I'll be using it a lot more often!

The garden

My parents are doing some renovations at the moment, and this is a "before" shot, which I edited using picnik.

Uploading a Flikr photo


This is my first attempt at putting a photo on to my blog, hopefully it will work!

Week 3 and learning loads!

Both Google Reader and RSS feeds are brilliant and I really understand why people say it's addictive! It was quite easy to get into Google Reader as I already had a Google account set up from last week (thanks for the tip Karen!) and I found that the easiest way to add subscriptions was to copy and paste the web address, even though adding the Irish Times was done very simply too. I also noticed that it's possible to save feeds to your Favourites Centre in Internet Explorer, which I never even noticed had a feeds folder in it before today. I even managed to make some adjustments to my blog this week, getting the time right, adding a photo and I also listed some of the sites I've subscribed to. Just as a by the way... the Italian Foodies site is great for Italian recipes, for any of you would be Italian chefs out there!!

Better late than never!

I had a busy week last week so only now managed to set up the blog, and so starts my 23 things experience! As people have already said, it was pretty painless for the most part - aside from finding a name that wasn't already used.
