#7 Blog about technology
#6 More Flickr Fun
In looking for more mashups, I also tried iGuide - a map/hotel/flight/sightseeing app. I really loved Spectra visual newsreader. I'm going to customize it and bookmark it.

#5 Flickr: My favorite vacation photo of all time

But, seriously, here's what worked for me and my thoughts during this exercise:
1. I had to find my old Yahoo account info.
2. I had to bring some photos from home. I used my flash drive. They needed to be in jpg format - not all of them were.
3. Getting the two applications to talk to each other made sense, once I figured it out. It took a little time, though.
4. I only got this to work by writing my post in Flickr. I think there's a way to get the Flickr photos into Blogger, so I can write my post in the usual way, but I haven't figured that out yet.
5. I understand that some people are really into the social networking stuff. I'm finding that I use parts of it when I need it - but it's not a way of life to me. I already subscribe to several RSS feeds, though, so I'm looking forward to that week's project a lot. I want to explore some different aggregators - I'm not thrilled with the one I use at home.
I got it!!
Next, I'll be entertaining you all with slides of our last vacation!
