Photosharing
As usual, I didn't read/follow the instructions. Therefore I got lost/confused & had to attempt it numerous times before it worked, thanks once again to Rachel & Duane for assisting me. Now I do see how easy it should be. I have viewed Flickr before but never uploaded from it. Not sure that I would use it on a regular basis as I tend to send pictures via e-mail as attachments. For this "thing", I typed "tortie cats" into the Flickr search window & got many results. I had hoped that by now I would be more adept with the 23 things but this does not seem to be the case. I learn best by having someone (in person show) me, then doing it myself -- rather than following along w/ written instructions. I'm just glad that I was eventually able to post a Flickr picture on my blog!

Wiki
I think I posted to the 23 Things Wiki correctly, but I'm not certain. Hope I did it right, as I found it rather easy! Now when I go into my blog, there is a blue circle w/ the letter "i" in it @ the top of my blog page. Does anyone know why this would happen? Anyway, I had fun using Wiki.

YouTube Video
I am glad we only had to find a video to add to our blog & not actually create/upload a new one unless we wanted to. I would not have felt comfortable doing so. Happily I found a video of a kitten using the library as a research tool in order to successfully land a job. I found this task rather easy & enjoyable (which surprises me as I generally struggle with these technologies).

Prezi
So I finally put together a Prezi, after much frustration. I often got lost in navigating around my Prezi page & trying to edit it/create paths etc. Though I did watch the instructional video & go through the tutorial slideshow, I still managed to totally confuse myself once I started on the page itself. Once again -- one of my fellow podmates (thank you Rachel!) came to my rescue. Once she got me back on track & I was able to create a path & actually "show" my Prezi, it kind of came together & made sense to me. I can see how it would be a valuable tool for presentations. I just think that you would have to feel comfortable with it in order to use it to its best advantage. Participating in 23 Things is making it abundantly clear to me that I do struggle with most web 2.0 applications. I'm glad I'm done the Prezi!
