Flickr and Social Blogging

Yesterday I explored Flickr, but posting photos will have to wait because they are all stored on my home computer. Soon I will post a few here and at Flickr.

Today I checked out the del.icio.us site where I posted one of my favorite sites: http://www.pedaling.com/ This is a site that shows favorite bicycling routes in every state. I like to look at it, even when I don't have plans to travel there, just for fun. When you are trying to go biking somewhere unfamiliar, it has recommended routes with levels of difficulty and other useful information. But, I digress.

Using del.icio.us was very easy and fun. I checked out one cloud for shoes and found some of the sites I shop at bookmarked there. I could see how this site can be useful (and possibly expensive!).

Facebook - Signed up!

Hi everyone. I signed up for Facebook and even looked for friends. I am looking forward to playing scrabble with my daughter online. It will be a pleasant way to avoid things I probably should be doing instead.

New RSS feeds and IM ing

I set up my RSS feeds and they are a pretty cool set of aggregated sites. I just don't know if I'll every have time to look at them! I also set up my instant messaging accounts and had fun playing with the emoticons.

Blogs I read

I have been thinking about the blogs I regularly read and I think I can categorize them (with the exception of my daughter's travel blog from Australia) as Food and Whine. I look at a couple of food blogs, I like to read the blog "Domestic Disturbances" in the New York Times and I read the blog "My Cancer" on the NPR website. He really has something to whine about. If I can figure out how to post the links to all of them here, I will do so.

Hello from Terry

Hi. This is my first post on my own blog. This should be fun.
