Wow!! Looks like maybe I did It!
Well Now the Link only shows when it is Edit Posts!
Back to the drawing board...
Interesting...Now when I go to my blog, the link is highlighted and will go to the video.
I am totally confused.
Have to say it is a very nice clip of the NYC Orchid show from last month. I really enjoyed viewing it. Our local orchid club just did a show at the Mall 2 weekends ago and it was very impressive also. And I purchased an orchid for my collection.

Really Simple Syndication
--Learning more from Week 10 - RSS
Had to put the full meaning in my Title. Maybe that way I will remember it better. Tried working on RRS feeds today also. Tried the Weather Channel and also CNN. Looks like I would have more to Bookmark from CNN. I always like the way aol has the latest news to go to if I check my mail account. I find out alot of breaking news that way. When the tsunami hit that year, I learned of it that way. And the other day from the feeds on aol, I saw the news about the volcano eruption in Chile. And I was able to use that with a reference question I had here at the Library out in our Children's Room on Saturday. So I do see where these RRS help us all keep in touch with what interests us or what's happening out in the world.

Music on the web
Slow but sure I am still trying more things with these lessons.
--Tonight I tried to listen to music on the web. This goes back to the lessons from Week 12 - Digital Music. I did not have much luck with eMusic. Installing and joining did not work for me. So I googled free music and saw a listing for aol. I have an aol account but have never tried this option. I searched for one of my favorite artists - Bob Seger and listened to "Turn the page". I think that is a very good song for a Sr Clerk at the Library.
--Had a lot of fun today trying this lesson. Will have to try more...

Podcasts
Tried my hand at Podcasts today. My favorite was at the Denver Public Library. The one suggested by Old Dogs of recorded story times. I chose this picture book that I have pictured. I have never listened to a podcast. Now I will look for them on websites. I will also have to try the PodcastDirectory and see what I come across.

Pretty Orchid Video
Hello! Here is my try at an Orchid Video. I did get to view it. Very relaxing.
In order to view it though, I had to wait for a public computer to be free. Dont know why the one at the Childrens Desk and here in my office would not allow the video. I also tried it on the public computer in the Childrens Room, where I often see patrons watching a video. And I was told it had Flash Player on it. But it would tell me Page Not Available. Just some of the trials and tribulations I had.

Now I see that it will not link to the video!
I tried to copy and paste the "address". I also tried to e-mail it to myself. I got a message from them but that was about it. But all in all I did have a good time with it. I went home from work feeling pretty happy. And I know that some of the cobwebs we get were cleared out from my YouTube Experience. It is fun to learn.
Will try again soon...

The trials of me and YouTube
Have been attempting to see what I can do with YouTube. I worked with the Help but cannot get by installing Flash Player. I keep going around in circles. And I dont understand about my JavaScript being turned off. Called my computer savy sister. I will check with her again. Did find a video on orchids that I would like to work with. Would have been nice to view it. Well this is what I did with my lessons today. Will try again soon....And if all else fails...Guess I'll go visit my sister and work on her computer. Pamela did invite me to 4cl. Could do that too.
-Must say that old dogs has made me want to get a better computer at home. Maybe I will stimulate the economy with my govt check and see what Dell has for me.
Signing off for today...
