Avatar cont'd

Well, here I am ...an hour and half later and still no luck!

Thing #3 ...exporting an avatar

Much with the frustration in trying to export my avatar. I tried to print a copy of the directions and the printer would not print the section that I needed. At first, I printed this page only,but, it only printed to the blogger page. When I changed it to print all pages, it still only printed that one section.
So, then I just hand wrote the directions. Everything was fine until I tried to export the avatar. I'm not understanding how to paste the HMTL code. I'm sure it is ridiculously easy. However ....aarrgh!

Thing #5 -Flickr

While I was reaing about this , I was thinking that m family doesn't really " do" photos so this wasn't all that pertinent to me. However, upon further reflection one reason we aren't into the photo thing is due to all the steps, making copies, mailing them to everyone, etc. This could simplify things considerably!
I have family members all over the country and often I haven't seen some of them for years. I have no idea what they look like now, what their children look like. Umm.. applications for classroom and libraries are astounding! This could be brilliant!!!
I talked to my students a little bit about blogs. So far, I have yet to find one who knows what it is. They knew all about my space & facebook. They spoke about email and how many of their brothers and sisters read the other sibling's email without permission. Kinda funny.

Well, I'll swaney... lookie there... that new -fangled technology really does work!! I'm a little behind , but, I'm catching up!
As some of you know, I took in a year old rottweiler several weeks ago. He was quite the handfull. My nights were comprised of distracting him from literally ripping to shreds everything I own . Anyway, he has now moved onto his new forever home ( huge sigh of relief) and my time is once again my own.
I would like to thank some of my classmates and friends who were patient and helpful with info. ....more to follow soon...
