From slates to blogging - what is a "slate" you ask? The slate I am referring to is a flat piece of fine-grained, homogeneous metamorphic rock approximately A4size. As a very young child in school, I used a writing "slate" with a slate pencil and then progressed to paper and pencils! (No, I am not ancient and I hope it will be some years yet before my retirement.) To clean or erase my "slate", which obviously held a limited amount of writing, I used a wet rag and the information was gone forever. Now I am creating my first "blog" and we can only guess at how far a blog will spread and how long it will last. The intimacy and control associated with using a slate/ notebook/computer file is being replaced by a necessity for trust and confidence and openness, when not only displaying your thoughts in a blog but inviting feedback on them. I am passionate about learning and adopting new technologies, with my library work and with my hobbies of photography and Photoshop. I am looking forward to working through all 6 Test Drives and gaining my Licence 2 Test Drive with all the other Library Learners!LibraryFun
What a beautiful camelia.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, I wanted to tell you that it is actually a rose, although it does resemble a camellia. It is was bred in the Sunshine Coast hinterland,to be especially resistant to the humid conditions of the coastal areas.
ReplyDeleteOops, shows how green my thumb is... Nice attachment of the BlogPatrol Counter gadget!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but hard to format the way I wanted to. Seems only formatting options are to place on side or at bottom of page and to change the height of the gadget.
