A Page and Delicious
Posted on | June 17, 2008 | 4 Comments |
Ok, another digital page. I created this one using Tara Sroka’s new kit: Fun in the Sun.
This is a quick and quite easy layout. I just used a lot of the elements in her kit and here it is. M loves her bikini {::SMILES}.
What a week! It will be full of teaching, teaching, teaching. I did a half day session yesterday and I was pooped! Today I have a Flickr and del.icio.us session, quite fun for me but need to finish up a few handout items
Here’s a computer tip for you… If you work on multiple computers, check out delicious (or any social bookmarkers really). It’ll save you a lot of time when it comes to bookmarking your favorite sites. Just a brief explanation… when you save a website to your favorites in Internet Explorer or Firefox, you’re saving it on your computer. If you’re on your computer and you move to your laptop for example, you have to resave that page again onto that laptop’s favorites. Well, when you’re using delicious, since it is a web bookmarker, you can be on the laptop or desktop and you’ll have access to the same favorites. No need to email yourself the links from work or from your friend’s computer. Just login and save it to delicious.
I also like that I can see how many other people have saved that particular site and if I click on it I can see each username and see what else that person has saved. I’ve found many sites this way… many hobby related stores that I would not have easily found.
I don’t use my Firefox/Explorer bookmark tool anymore. Everything I have is saved on delicious and I can access it from any computer. I have also installed the delicious plugin for my Firefox and Flock web browser (same plug-in) and also Internet Explorer. It’s nice, it’s just like using the regular bookmark tool. Click and save.
Keep in mind that your bookmark is public until you click on the “do not share” when you save each item (for example my bank is not public since I don’t want people to know where I bank at). You can check out my scrapbook kit bookmark if you like (I can just share individual tags or the whole bookmark) and see what other bookmarks I have. I have two accounts. This is my personal one and I have a work one too that I share with my colleagues and students.
That’s your geek tip of he week {::SMILES}.
