Thing 8

This was a fairly simple thing to do.  It's nice to know that you can embed all these things in your blog.  Serious bloggers have a lot available to them for content.

I found a video about school nursing to embed in my blog.



Maybe this will give you some idea of what being a school nurse is

Thing 7

I looked at YouTube, which I have done before.  It can be overwhelming how many videos there are.  I also think that it is unfortunate that people take excerpts from YouTube to defame people or humiliate them.  One thing I think we have to remember about the internet is that not everything we see there is credible.

I watched a video about my hometown and commented on it, although I guess I it was more difficult than I hought, I wasn't sure it got posted and ended up doing it 3 times

Thing 6

I opened a  Flickr account, it was really easy as I already had a Yahoo account.  This would be a good place to put pictures you want others to see, although I kept my account private.  I have also used a site called Snapfish which is similar. I did upload a picture and it was really easy.

Thing 5 with picture

I found a picture of James Madison's "Temple" on Flickr.  I chose this picture because Bob and I visited there while we were on vacation in Virgina a couple of weeks ago.

This is James Madison's "Temple" it is located a Montpilier in Virgina about 45 miniutes west of Harrisonburg.  It was placed over an "ice house" and they stored ice and other things that needed to be kept cold.  This allowed the Madisons to have ice for cold drinks and provide guests with things they might not otherwise have had available to them in the summer.

Thing 5

Flickr is interesting, it's nice to know you can easily find public domain pictures so easily. I was able to find some pictures  of places I visited on vacation.

Thing 4

I already had a custom homepage for my yahoo account, so I spent some time fiddling around with that and changing it.  It is nice that you can have the things that you want pop up when you open your home page and it is so easy to change that you can change it when your priorities change.

New Laptop

I think the gods are conspiring against me.  I had planned on doing some work on 23 Things while I was away with my sister and girlfried, (lots of travel this summer).  I fired up the laptop and all it did was beep at me.  So here I am, away again, with a new laptop and mybe I can get some work done on this.
