Inspiration!

So I probably should have mentioned beforehand that I am NOT good at keeping up with blogs. I’ve had at least three of them and they fell by the wayside. Oops.

Last class was entirely entertaining. We worked on taking fun pictures with the webcam, and also on Inspiration, which was entirely new to me. I like it, buuuut don’t at the same time. I’m too organized for bubbles and things like that, but I do like it for making family trees, something I do on a fairly regular basis. Webspiration is more or less Inspiration, but online! It does not have as many things to play with, but it works .

Found out this class that I have been using images (such as: from Flickr.com by EcoHeathen ) illegally. Thankfully CreativeCommons allows people to use things as long they cite who they got it from without expressly asking permission, which is particularly nice. Also good to know is how to put pictures in this! I like knowing how to play with pictures; I don’t organize things with them, but I DO like adding them to things .

We’re also learning how to personalize our blogs! Yay! I have a pretty theme on mine, but widgets? Cool! Frankly, the idea of widgets frightens me, but mostly because it also starts with ‘wi’ and wikis are the bane of my existance. Granted I know that’s because I didn’t know what I was doing, but it’s been twice that it didn’t work.

Anyway, off to go play with my blog! Have a good one!
