Thing 31: Get Organized with Plaxo

I don't think I'm organized enough to "get organized with Plaxo". Perhaps I've missed something essential, but I would prefer a simple handwritten task list on my desk in a good old fashioned diary or notebook. In the past year or so, I've begun to keep dates and notes in my little mobile phone - no it's not one of those fancy shmancy organizers, but it does the job for me. I can carry it around in my pocket and set up alerts and reminders etc.
Plaxo I found a little too busy - too much happening with too many sidetracks. I also didn't like the way it wanted my Yahoo details on signing up - I opted out of that. I don't think making too much personal information available to too many sites a good way to go.

Thing 30: I'm in UR Libary, Readin UR b00ks

Oh so very cute! I can't see any bird, can you?
My chosen pic caught my eye straight away. A nicely set up picture and a very compliant cat too!

Is there a LOLDogs too? Woof!

Thing 29: Scrapblog - I'm in Love

A little time consuming, but engaging. A good way to entice readers perhaps, using soothing background music and snippets of books using a slideshow. It could be as long or as short as needed and as detailed as required for the purpose. A fun way to create a semi-professional looking piece without the need for expensive software.

Thing 28: Well we're big rock singers… (or food connoisseurs)

Image generators can be lots of fun and I had quite a play in Learning 2.0. For this exercise I chose "Food & Wine" magazine and used a photograph of a family member.

Thing 27: Photobucket #2

The Photobucket creation above is actually my second attempt. After blogging about it the first time, I tried to edit my creation. Don't quite know what I did, but ended up having to create a new one. This time I used images from Photobucket itself. I had a little trouble adding some of the music tracks so settled on one that worked.

Thing 27: Photobucket

I've really enjoyed playing with the Remix tool. The search option within Photobucket I found did not supply me with what I was looking for, so I searched elsewhere and uploaded from my computer.

I can see that I will be using this site again.

Please see my creation below, called "Fortune's Rocks at Photobucket".

Thing 26: Yourminis - attempt #2

OK, I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but copying the code and embedding it is now working. I'm sure I was doing the same thing a few hours ago, but I've now got different results. So easy really - I can't quite work out why it all wasn't working before. See above and to the side some widgets from Yourminis.com.
