Module Three - All Tasks

Well that took all morning. Not to create the html but to add the images to my blog.
I tried to copy my html codes to the blog but it did not like it. I did that several times then decided to take screen dump and save it as an image. The quality was not good. I tried the screenpilot as suggested by Cynthia. This also did not work. I ended up using the PrtScn key to capture the screen and used paint to crop it and saved it as a .jpg file. Although the resolution is not that good, if you click on the image to zoom in, it's not bad.

My blog & comment day to-day

I have been away for a week and desperately trying to catch up.
I have not successfully checked out my 'followers' blogs & intend to do just that.
Well easily said than done... as we can expect nothing ever goes smoothly where computers are concerned.
I tried to comment to 'Net11cieart.blogspot.com...not sure what happened but I was not able to leave my comment... can't tell why. Please click here to read more.

Module Two - List, Chat

I am starting a new blog and hope to be able to link it to my main one. Please click here to read more.

There are so many ways of staying in touch nowadays but do we stay in touch?
The older generation struggles with the internet use, some who have worked in a computer environment embrace it. For the new generation, the internet seems to be the only way to communicate. How can I (being of an older group) possibly keep up with the following:
Blogger
Twitter
Skype
Messenger
ICQ
My work emails
Hotmail
MSN live
Yahoo mail
Curtin student email
Email lists
Gmail
Mobile phone
SMS
Home phone
... all of this is taking control of my life. Soon, very soon I will have to take control ... if I did not it will control me. !!!!!!!!!!! I am sure there is more I could add to the list Huuuuuuuu!!!!!

Yes, what about all the different names, passwords I use. I am running out of pet names. I have passwords and login name for banks accounts, credit cards (4), Tickertek, Woolworths, Geni (family tree online), Everyday rewards, webjet, go to meeting, Mycareer to name just a few.

My problem is I use my second name and sign using my first name...... this is my first problem. Mine may be a bit more complicated than most but I think most of us have the similar problems.

I pay my bills online... businesses want my money yet they make it so hard for me to pay them. The system crashes, there is a dead line if you don't pay by a certain date (because you cannot log in, and have no one to speak to you), they threatened to charge you more. I am trying to
pay them!!!!!!!!!! Their systems sucks... can I say this.Annimation- pageresources.tripod.com/animations/cartoonanim.html

Module Two - Frustrations

The last couple of hours have been very taxing. Blogger was slow, I lost my image and post and ended up having to redo my email task. I had the infamous red/yellow message. I removed all the formatting an started again for the 3 time. The 'more' links do not work, and throws you back to the beginning of the page when you access it.
It must be my lucky day.
About 'emails', you love them and you hate them.
If you don't take control they control you. I have learnt as much since starting this unit.
Emails have so many advantages but if you are not able to stay in control then they will be your worst nightmare.
