For Fun

*Sigh*

Another session of available time, gone. Spent the entire time trying to make sense of the whole RSS thing. I have absolutely NO idea how any of those sites in the SPL2.0 exercise supposedly work, despite visiting HELP and other links. I have NO idea how they are supposed to help me in any way, unless of course I want to spend my life visiting those sites to visit all of the links they have, which would take forever. Which I don't have. I have NO idea how to connect anything from any of those sites to my own. I have NO idea why I am still messing with this!

Guess I'll move on to the next exercise, this one is a dead horse. At the rate I'm going, I figure I'll finish this some time around, oh, 2009. And I really hope at some point I start enjoying this. Mostly it's just been a whole lot of, "WOW YOU CAN DO SO MUCH INCREDIBLE STUFF AND WOW YOU CAN DO SO MUCH INCREDIBLE STUFF AND WOW MAYBE YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO SO MUCH INCREDIBLE STUFF!!!", without much given (that I can find) on HOW I CAN DO SUCH INCREDIBLE STUFF. Somehow I am just missing the key, unable to wrap my brain around the clear direction that I can only assume is there somewhere. Must be a Neptune thing. Maybe Neptune is sending rays directly into my computer here at work??

Oddly enough, I ran a website (on my own time) for 6 months last year. I had a great deal of fun, and found all kinds of neat things to do with it, and everyone loved it. So why can I not even handle these supposedly "simple" exercises? Don't know. Guess this is not the direction the Tech Gods are wanting me to go.

RSS? Huh?

Whew. Gonna hafta spend a little more time on that. Someday. Got through part of it, tho'. Let's see if I can get a link to my (barely 10 feeds listed!) Blogline!

Did it work???

Ok. Another day, another week, and I think I've figured out how to do even something basic like edit a layout for blogging a picture! Good grief, how is it I can manage to customize the entire blog background plus the type, but can't manage a simple photo??? Maybe the Moon was forming hard aspects to my Mercury last Monday...

Anyway, after poking around a bit, I took my photo and used the fun stuff at fd's Flickr Toys. This is what I got. I've also geo-tagged my photo, but I think at this point I really need to investigate RSS feeds. I found a really nifty site this past weekend while looking up something for my daughter, and saw that it had the RSS buttons on it.

Must learn more!!!!
