Its strange by reading blogs I feel like I'm getting to know people I've never met better than I know some people I work with. <BR/><BR/>Leanne I had twitter conversation with @capohanka who knows about Flickr. She helped me with Picasa. I think you can google Flickr widgets. Or find @capohanka and talk to her.SKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557429968193662886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127634108513616171.post-32678667379683979422009-02-02T13:55:00.000-06:002009-02-02T13:55:00.000-06:00Well, you seem to be doing remarkably well when it...Well, you seem to be doing remarkably well when it comes to discovering and using new technologies . . . so I have a question for you . . . I am trying to figure out a way to put Flick'r on my blog as a widget - do you know how to do this so it works??? <BR/><BR/>As for your comment about your colleagues and their willingness/unwillingness to incorporate technology . . . I am very impressed with your offer to help out and the encouragement/enthusiasm you bring to the table. Now, you just have to get others 'hooked'. It may be a good idea to have a pd day based on technology to give them some time to tinker and the novelty just may 'catch on'. Another thing that has worked in the past is writing about the teachers in your blog and including pictures (the great work they are doing with their students). . . they are usually curious enough to see what was written and will venture out to explore themselves. Good luck!Leanne Merkowskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795644192281379154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127634108513616171.post-25355535481915030352009-02-02T11:47:00.000-06:002009-02-02T11:47:00.000-06:00Slow down Stpehen.

I regularly read your posts and not only do you push yourself I find your kindred exploration into technology also pushes myself to. <BR/><BR/>With your posting about Picasa & Widgets I decided to explore them last night (after the Cards lost). I have used Picasa before with some minor picture editing for family and friends and found it to be a rather simple and easy to use/follow picture editing tool. I have had some fun with the boys' pics. <BR/><BR/>The Widgets I explored to and have not found, as of yet, any major fun/interesting widgets I wish to embed in my blog right now. The ones from wordpress seem a little standard. However thanks for giving me a little push into something I overlooked in settnig up my blog.Todd Handspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061018805580292257noreply@blogger.com
