THIИG SЗVЭЙ (Thing Seven)

The instructions to Thing 7 included the word "fun". So, I happened to find the license plate page in Image Chef and lo, there was the Wild Rose County plate with the added bonus of allowing me to imprint "23 Things" across the front of the plate. Then, I found a text generator (created by a University of Florida student) which changed my title into Fake Cyrillic script. http://www.theworldofstuff.com/ One more thing: I need to add a cute little game to my blog. Everyone needs to know more about the Middle East, right?

Thing Six: Flickr Mashup

After much trial and error, I finally got my letter mashup arranged. Mashup is such a Jamaican word. The variety of letters from this source would be great when making posters. Maintaining a theme and continuity could be very time
consuming, but fun.

Thing 5: Flickr

It was easy setting up a Flickr account because I just transferred my hotmail username and password to Yahoo (easier to remember). Now I need to take some photos, which means borrowing my husband's digital camera and downloading the pictures. I needed a nudge to learn this so I won't cringe when patrons ask me to help them. At Flickr, I uploaded photos my daughter took of lions in the Sabi Sands Reserve of South Africa, (our one and only family holiday). I nearly uploaded the photo of Cullin's Rainbow on the Isle of Skye(Thing 2) but decided against it. It was sent to me from a fellow tourist and since it is not my photo I won't send it out to the public. It can reside on my blog though since my NEFLIN colleagues won't rat on me.In the meantime, I found Flickr to be a repository of amazing photos. I found great photos of my old home town featuring the last giant grain elevator , and this time the photographer gave his blessing in an email to my Flickr account that I have his permission to display this great photo. So Florida, this is a western prairie grain elevator.

Thing 4: RSS and Newsreaders

I skipped Thing 3 and did this first.This task really is useful to me and I immediately added my favorite British news sources, the BBC and the Guardian. Now I don't have to use Google to get their addresses. I will spice this selelction up with some blogs later. I look forward to fine tuning this account in the future. Now, onwards and upwards to Thing 5.
