Page Counter

While playing on the net and visiting other bloggers I noticed a few of them had page counter (not Web 2.0'ers) and thought this was a great way of knowing how many people visit my blog. Adding a page counter is so easy to do.
If you look to the right, below my page counter there is a link "free link". Once you have hit the all you have to do choose the style you want, then add a few details of where you want the link. I opened and signed into my blog then selected customise/page layout/add a page element. This is where I added my title and copied and pasted jargon from "easy hit counters" and saved...and just like magic...it was all done for me.
Have a go and let me know what you think.

Week 4 : RSS

Mmmm. I enjoyed this one... however I did research further using Google to make sure I was well informed. Two web site that I liked and thought the information was easy to understand were software garden and news. This site had a list of RSS feeds that were Australian and easy to subscribe to.

I think it is good that you can keep up-to-date with your favourite sites and latest information or news. Although I'm not sure how much I would use it or if I would have the time, I may be more inclined to use my bookmarks, at least it is one lest thing that I need to log into and remember login or passwords to.
I have subscribed to RSS feeds that I'm interested in and will keep an eye on them in the next few days, helping to decide whether or on rss is for me or not. I tried both ways of subscribing to RSS, by clicking on the little orange icon or by copying and pasting the URL of the site I was interested in into my bloglines feed, both ways I found easy.

Sort Of Dunno Nothin'

You just have to have a look at this….

If you have or had have teenage children you will appreciate this video from youtube... I have two teenage children and just loved this...it is so true...exactly what they sound like! Kids!!!
I was listening to Richard Glover on ABS Sydney when I heard this...the video is on many sites and has been viewed by over 200,000 viewers. It has even been viewed on channel 7, on the morning show.

I’m sure teenagers think it’s silly, however many teachers and parents have phoned into the radio station to say… they love it or can relate to it…

I think it is pretty good… considering Peter Denahy the guy the wrote it and sings it solo…(even the teens part) is not even a parent his self.

Check it out! Sort of Dunno Nothin'

Week 3 :Sparkling in the sunlight...

Although I have titled this sparkling in the sunlight...it is more like moonlight. I would like a web that is sparkling in the sunlight...so will keep trolling through the net...it will all add to the practice of adding photos to my blog. This time I just copied and pasted the web link to the "add photo" pop-up. Next time I will down load the image to my hard rive then upload to the blog from there.

Week 2 : Learning 2.0

This is a new learning curve for me. I have heard several of the terms, bebo, facebook etc, however I must admit that I haven't had much of an understanding of them, or what and how they work. I just thought it was something that the teenagers used!...but I’m learning!

I'm looking forward to learning and understanding what web 2.0 is all about and how I can use it. As well as having an understanding and knowing what the younger generation (my children included) is doing for inter reaction or social entertainment.
I hope that after completing the topics available over the next 12 weeks, I will gain confidence and be able to put what I have learned to use.

Now comes the hard part... posting intelligent, interesting information that others want to read and reply to.
