delicious?

ok, y'all
I have just signed up for Delicious, and pulled a couple of websites onto it, but I am still not so sure what it is all about. It seems to be a lot like Blogline, only websites, not blogs. I am not so sure that this is a site that I will stick with. But interesting enough, and maybe if I have time to do more exploring on it, it will appeal more.

Hey y'all,
The Twitter thing was easy enough, although it seems pretty silly to me. I have no interest in the fact that someone is having coffee right now, or changing a lightbulb or whatever. Not one of my favorite exercises for Learn and Play.

Hey y'all,
I like the Library Thing. It is a great website. The idea of putting a list of your favorite books up, then having other people recommend similar books is just great! I have already ordered a book that was recommended. THIS site I will go back to, even after this learn and play thing is done. Thanks for showing us this.

Hey y'all,
This storm really showed us what technology can and cannot do, didn't it? I ended up as the "go to" person in my apartment building. Most of the tenents are under 30, and seem to be so dependant on technology, that when the electricity went out, they were lost babies! I spent half of Sunday evening passing out candles, showing them how to setup and light an oil lamp without it smoking them out, and how to light a gas stove that has an electric starter. Actually, I had to help that girl cook her dinner, too, as she never used the stove at all...only the microwave. Fun.
Anyway, it seems to me we ought to try to remember the "older" ways more, and pass that along to the younger generations, as well as the Tech stuff. Sometimes technology is not going to help.

Hey y'all,
I actually got a title and some pictures up!!! And it worked fine! Yea Me! The title I made on the generator blog http://www.glassgiant.com/hollywood_sign/, and the pics were my own. Sometimes this Play and Learn stuff is great, and sometimes it is soooo bad. I just know that some of mine is all wrong, but I will keep plugging away. I have actually learned some, and had some fun. Of course, when I get confused about something, don't even ask!

NOOOOOOO!

Hey y'all,
I take it back about the play and learn stuff being not so bad. It is soooo confusing! And our computers are so slow, that the one or two hours off the desk is not enough to do it. I spent over 20 minutes just getting the e-mail address verified to use the Blogline today! And I still don't get how to attach my blog to it, or it to my blog or whatever we are supposed to do. (I don't get THAT, either.)
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey y'all,
Lookie! I actually got a picture to attach to my blog. I am so proud. It is one I found on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubherducky/238844362/in/set-72157594276907350/. After all, everyone loves a Knight in shining armor. Not to worry, I have asked permission of the photographer. This Learn and Play stuff may not be so bad!
