there should be a picture here
I asked it to upload from Flickr

An attempt to add an image -
This is from my own photo collection. It's a pict of the skylight at ECO taken a couple of years ago with Roger's camera.
I have no idea why it isn't visible.

Changes

Playing around in the blog -
figured out how to edit, change the template....

I'm trying to up-load an image.
I figured out how to upload to Flickr - no, amend that. I did upload an image to Flickr, but not really sure how I did it.

I wish I had more time to play around with this stuff.

I figured out how to get back in to my blog.
I haven't blogged in a while, because getting ready for the holidays really takes time and energy - none left to do 23 Things.

The Holidays are time out of time. During the Days of Awe, there isn't time for the real world. It's as if everything stops, and we exist in a spiritual bubble, filled with family, prayer, song and shofar, and nothing is happening, nothing progressing. In the bubble, we wait - for our fates to be written? and Sealed? And then - the shofar blows the Tekiah G'dolah, and we're back - and all sorts of things have happened, the world kept on. It's always a bit of a shock.

So I'm back now, for a bit anyway, and ready to get on with my 23 Things.
Later this week, I'll try Flickr.

Still learning to blog

Today I looked at some of HCL co-worker blogs.
I came across something I really don't understand.
At the top of the page, there is a button for "next blog." I assumed that would take me to the next blog in teh HCL list, but it didn't. Rather, I ended up on a random blog from someone else. So I guess that means that I am not in a database of HCL blogs, but in the larger database.

I'd really like to have a better idea of how blogs work. I followed the instructions, so I know it does work. I've opened the door, turned the key, and can back out of the driveway - but I don't have any idea what is going on under the hood.

Wow! my own blog!

This has been a journey of discovery! Using Blogger isn't really that difficult, but I tripped over a few bumps on the way.
I thought it would "cute" to use my initials in the blog title. After all, I am an INteGral part of the thING. I tried over a dozen variations of the word "thING" before finding an acceptable one.
Then I typed my first posting - no, this isn't it. For some reason, I couldn't get it to post! When I exited my blog and came back - no post! It wasn't there. I am now retyping what I wrote before - and then some.

So, tomorrow I'll play some more. Right now, I'm off to register my blog!
