Week 3 Post 7: Editing a Photo with Picnik

I edited this photo with Picnik. There were a couple of other people in the picture but I wanted to focus on Jenni. However, it is a little grainy. I need to practice more.

Week 3 Post 6: Trading Card

This is my first effort at making a trading card and posting it on my blog. Most of the staff at Maud Marks are cat lovers. I think we should make cat cards and then trade them. Maybe we can even include all of HCPL. I'm sure there are plenty of cat lovers out there. Maybe, just maybe, we could include dogs, birds, lizards, etc. What fun!

Week 3 Post 5

I never would have thought, being a cat lover, that I would ever own a dog. However, last November, I found this little lost dog on the street in front of the library. I kept her at home until I could take her to a shelter a few days later. By then I was already attached, so I had to go back to retrieve her the next day. She had worked her way into my heart and especially Charles' heart. She is his dog now and they are inseparable. Isn't she cute?

Week 3 Post 4 Flickr

Bojangles, my beautiful black cat, passed away in April. He was 17 years old and the sweetest cat. Ptolemy (Tollie for short) is the equivalent of a teenager. He usually ignores me unless he wants to be fed.

Week 3 Post 3: Flickr

Flickr is definitely the most fun so far. I love taking pictures of my family, friends and pets! Charles is experimenting with a time and motion study - he saves time bathing the dog while he showers.

Week 2 Post 2: Learning Style

My husband says I'm the poster child for the computer illiterate. I thought you would have to drag me kicking and screaming to create a blog. However, I learned much to my amazement, that it wasn't that hard. I usually learn best when I take things slowly, one step at a time. Once I created my blog I found out it was actually fun . I've enjoyed helping some of the other staff get started, and I think I've learned as we explored together. It has given me a great feeling of satisfaction to know that I can do this!

Week 2 Post 1: Online Safety

I try to be careful about posting personal information on the web. I never use my social security number online and I make sure sites are secure before I enter my credit card info. However, I do love ordering merchandise online thereby avoiding crowds at malls. The video, Think Before You Post, is very thought-provoking. It's important to note that whatever you publish in your blog is available for everyone to see.
