Te Rā Tū – Tuesday 19 August

It's raining again!! and today, I don't feel like putting anymore 'rain pictures' on my post.

So because I put Sookie on my post yesterday, I've decided to put our dog on today's post. She died a couple of years ago, but we still miss Bird, and yes her name was Birdie.

Had a look through the Web 2.0 awards and I like some of the favourites like Bebo , You Tube, Google Earth, as well as Geni, a geneology site. I looked into the Dostoc site, another place that has document templates, anything to make life easier. Finally, the last one I've tried, (for now) was G2Web2, it is awesome, it's a web directory, so I can find just about any site that I want.

The Gadget application is awesome!!! All you do is (1)go to the 'customize bar' at the top right of your blog. Then (2) go to the 'gadget link.' (3) Open it up and in the top right hand corner, is a search bar, (4) type in 'Maori,' (for example) then enter. I found 'He Kupu o Te Ra' that's how one of us got Indian music and another got a gadget that helps her play cords on a guitar.

Thanks Danielle, I really like the article you posted,
Future Proof your Library , so I've created a link.

Te Rā Hina – Monday 18 August

This cat has 'adopted us.' My daughter calls her Sakura, and I call it Sookie, because all she does it screech whenever anyone goes past, even while she is eating.
Yes, done the Zoho, I created the slide show that's at the top of the page. It was quite easy. I like the idea of Google Documents (there's a video at the bottom of my blog). One option is basically writing a document off line, then putting it online, for you and others (that you've invited) to add/edit the document, in this way, there are no longer multiple copies of the that doc. Love the templates as well.
