Week 3 - Photo Editing Using Picnik

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
An eternity in an hour. - William Blake

Discovery Exercise:
Edit a photo using one of the tools listed above and post it to your blog.

I used Picnik to edit this photo. I changed the size by cropping it and adjusted the color slightly. I have used photo editing programs before and found this one to work well. Also, as stated throught the ihcpl training, Picnik will work with your Flickr account.

Week 3 - Adding Photographs

This world is but a canvas to our imagination. Henry David Thoreau

A few years ago, my husband gave me a digital camera as a gift. Now that I am able to post photographs, I look forward to highlighting a few favorites and sharing them with you.

Week 2 - Why Blog?

Boulder, Colorado

Discovery Exercise:
Create a blog post discussing how comfortable are you sharing online?

Previously, books were the only voice of the written word. These words came from a fellowship of authors, who had stories to tell and wisdom to pass along. However, we are no longer bound by the binding of paper and ink, or by a fellowship wordsmiths. A blog allows words to travel to unknown people and places. We each have our own stories and wisdom to share. The question is who will read it?

I am new to the world of blogs. I am creating this blog as work assignment. It is my understanding that some blogs are kept private, but this one will be posted for the world to see. I plan to complete this project, have fun when I can, and learn something new along the way. I may not always follow the given path but I hope that my solutions are creative. Also, I plan to add quotes that inspire me.

Men see things as they are and say why... I dream of things that never were and say why not. George Bernard Shawe

Learning Habits

This journey has certainly taken longer than I had expected. I must admit that I thought this step would be simple, and it has caused some frustration. Nonetheless, I believe that the knowledge will be useful.

Man's mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimension.Oliver Wendell Holmes
