Final Technology: Scrapblog

For the last emerging technology I decided to try a scrapbooking online site. A lot of my friends love to scrapbook, so I figured this would be a fun and cheap and easy way to try it out. I did not find the site "scrapblog" to be very user friendly. The HELP feature never worked, I had to log off and log back in to be able to see my photos on the second page, and every feature was slow- moving. I thought I had added sound to the 2 pages I made, but apparently not. I also had to post the scrapblog onto my blog manually because I wasn't able to get it to post with their blogger feature. It was a nice idea, but ended up being a lot of work. I thought this might be a nice idea to show kids how to use to make cards for their family members but I would not use this site for kids. I will still show it to my mom though! :) For those who love scrapbooking, look around the internet for a better site. Maybe someone will have a better one on their blog!

Smilebox

I went to Smilebox to make my photo share. It was simple! I loved watching the show twice right in a row. It was nice to take a look at all the things in your life that make you happy right in one spot. Smilebox made it easy to select any picture from your computer and put them into a "pile" on the left and them drag them into the position you wanted them in slideshow order. That came in handy for adding pictures from the same event that are in different folders. At the end, you could post the show right to Blogger so that was easy too! Smilebox was very simple and very fun. I'm looking forward to looking at everyone else's photos! :) Have a great week!

RSS Feeds

Happy March! Happy Wednesday! So far the RSS feeds on my iGoogle account are working well. I am getting way too much info from FoxNews, but the other feeds have been nice and have given me some good info to read. I am getting feeds from People Magazine and the US Department of Education so I should be covered for now. I tried adding my RSS feeds to my Blog and as you can see, FoxNews was easy to add, but the others did not cooperate. I did get to post an article right on my Blog from WebMD where I'm gathering health and fitness news. Take care everyone. Have a great week.

Love,
Melissa
