I did prefer the postage stamp option in picnik however I would have to upgrade for that and didn't want to. I can see these image generators are pretty cool for people who want to edit photo's but don't want to pay heaps of money for things like photoshop. I will definitely recommend them to people at the library and also have another look myself for more options in the future. Glad to have finally got myself to achieve this task as it took a wee while to get here !! Onwards to RSS and Newsreaders.....................

tranquility Success !! Managed to play around with my photo on Picnik through flicka - pretty much tried everything: especially liked that I could make my horizon level and also sharpened my image a bit as well as changing some colours. Was good to see a video and learn what mashups are so I knew that I was using one ! Anyway I don't know if the image looks better but it looks different and it was fun doing it !

The trouble with Flickr !

Well I've spent quite a lot of time setting up a flickr account, having first to have a yahoo address , disabling my cookies (whatever they were !) then getting started.

I've now my own account and have downloaded my first photo however I don't seem to be able to find the edit photo area in the flickr website - it doesn't even show up in the help area. What have I missed ?

I do love looking at other peoples photo's as I am a very keen photographer - great to see what other people are up to.At this stage I am an i-photo, photoshop girl so would be keen to see what flickr has to offer in comparison in their editing - help !

This is my original image - thought I might make the sky a different colour to see how that looked. Just for fun !

So looking forward to hearing if I've missed something very obvious. Cheers

Hi again.

A few months back ladyhawke came to NZ and I hadn't heard of her. I looked her up on the computer and found her myspace website. Thought it was quite good the way she put comments up for her fans - telling them what she was up to and how she felt etc.

Was able to listen to her music and see what it was like - have had her CD out a few times from the library now and quite like it !!

Here's the link up if you're interested !

Bebo, My Space and Facebook

So this week I've had a look at Bebo ,My Space and Facebook. They're great tools for people wanting to get info. out there to lots of people - people they may know or not !!
eg. think it's great for bands to put info. about themselves up and that people can give them feedback - sort of like a fan-club.
The personal ones were interesting to look at however I wasn't tempted at this stage to open up an account of my own. I looked at a friends Facebook account and could go from there to see what her mates where up to as well as search out a few people I knew.
They are very popular with the younger generation however I prefer to remain in my happy relatively private world - perhaps just because that's how I grew up - not every one knowing what you were up to all the time !
