Spring Cleaning # 30 Take A Load Off Our Drives
I do not save files. So what I did in order to finish my exercise was to.
1.) go to my computer
2.)s drive
3.)I chose Nw folder
4.)I just picked Newsletter March 08
5.)save as text
6.)renamed it Newsletter Shan
7.)saved on s drive
8.)went back to s drive and deleted
After I got the hang of the exercise I think I did ok.
I then explored the z drive. I had to make up something because I had never gone into this drive. I combined a few old files then deleted them. I think I learned something about the different drives.

SPRING CLEANING #29 : EMAIL
I have decided to erase my e-mails as soon as I have read them and stop closing them out without deleting them. I just found out that was a no no. I am also going to make sure to purge my trash as soon as I delet my e-mails. I went from 106 to 30. That was 76 e-mails I didn't need. I also had several people in my address book who had changed their address 2 or 3 times. So I updated my address book. I made a few folders to put circ emails and high importance things in like mileage change forms or other things I would need to refer to in the future. This was a good exercise because it cleaned up alot of space in my email.

Spring Cleaning #28
I used ta-da-list to set up a onling to-do-list. I really like it because it seems to be able to help me to remember what I needed to take care of and on what day. I also set up a list to remind me what I needed to take on my weekend trip. I've never used anything like this before. I guess I still believe in the old fashion write it down in a date book. Overall I enjoyed seting it up.

WEEK 10:#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning........
This was a rocky,frustrating,yet fun journey at times. I'm kind of sad to see the classes come to the end. I've really enjoyed learning how to do differnet things and showing others how things went. I must admit there were several times I was going to give up. I just couldn't because I had somthing to prove (to myself). I really enjoyed all of the exercises in one way or another. I think that library thing was my favorite. I really enjoyed picking out all of the books I liked and putting them on my blog. I also liked the avatar exercise. I thought it was fun playing dress up. It reminded me of when I was little and I played paperdolls. I think I would really like it if we had something like this again. It made alot of us come together and help each other.

Week 9 Downloadable Media
http://librivox.org/ I really like this site. I get audio books all the time. I was surprised to find many titles I had waited weeks to get through Ill. I think now I will use http://librivox.org/. I guess now I will be downloading alot of things. I was also impressed with the music selections. It was nice to be able to listen to many of them. This will help me if I don't want to buy a cd inorder to get one song. http://librivox.org/

Week 9:21 Podcasts,Smodcasts!
Ok this took a bit of time. I just could not find any podcast that I liked. I was looking for Urban Fiction and didn't pull anything up. I finally found something I was kind of into. However I did find alot of things on different foods and resturants I liked. I think I liked the food podcast the most because it had pic's.

WEEK9: #20 YOUTUBE
Sorry but I have tried 9 times(yes9) to post a "YouTube" video. I selected all of the text for the embedded player and copied it. I keep getting a blank screen when I post to my blog. I really hate that because I found the neatest video called Spinner Dolphins Underwater. I even setup a account with YouTube, but it still would not post. I was however able to add a page element using YouTube and post but not where I wanted(off to the side). I like http://www.youtube.com/ because it helps sometimes if you need to see something over and over. I actually used it to teach my niece how to tie her shoes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mA_A8tAZ6E. 2 bad it won't post. I tried.
