The world of constant updates

Just to confuse people, this is a blog about Things 5 and 6 - the RSS feeds.  I have added 2 Phil Bradley blogs ( see Phil Bradley's I want to blog) which are very interesting - they give info about new web 2.0 apps.  Also I have found a blog by some other trainees at Middlesex University.

It's very helpful to group the blog posts together - now it's just a case of finding time to read them!  I haven't added the feed to my Google homepage because I think I'd get distracted by it when I'm at work and should be making room bookings or pricing books for invoices.

Photo Fun

Last week - I'm running a bit behind with my blogs - I signed up for Flickr and Piknik. I normally put photos I want to share on Facebook because my friends and family can see them there (if they don't have Facebook I can send them the link to the album). I'm not sure if I would continue putting things up on Flickr, but I was pleased by how simple it was to use.

Piknik was also very easy and quick. I normally use Microsoft Picture Editor to auto adjust photos and resize them because then I can save them quickly. I think this would be useful at work if I needed to alter photos quickly - for a poster, for example.

With the help of some SSL collegues I have added a flickr stream to my blog but I have been having much more hassle link in photos into this blog entry so I have uploaded a snowy pic from my computer instead!
