Task 5: Flickr

It helps to tag photos just like cataloging a book is helpful.
My favorite part of Flickr will be looking for photos of particular things, particularly in my travels. I probably would not use Flickr to share my photos with family and friends as I already do that on Shutterfly.
Groups would be useful for learning about photography in a certain situation and to explore areas I would like to learn about.

The Modern Alexandria Library

It was great to visit the Alexandria Library and explore parts of it including the Young Readers Derpartment.

Task 4

The picture in the previous blog is of me struggling to stay on the camel while it stands up. Taken near Luxor, Egypt this past month.

Back at Task 2

After hours of trying to post to the blog I created back at the end of March, I have just created a new one.
I am hoping to go through all the tasks and learn a little more about how to use the web to my advantage, and understand how others use it.
I must admit it has been very discouraging thus far.
E-mail communication which I have been using for years, as I have family living in Africa, seems much easier.
I do find it helpful to read the Library blogs that are on the library web site. Because I work part time it is a way to keep up with what is happening at the library when I am not there.

testing

I amtrying again!
