Persevering
After my initial excitement of posting my first blog...discouragement! I tried to respond to the blogs of some of our Learning 2.0 members, but I was repeatedly told that my password was invalid! I found the piece of paper where I had written my password and confirmed that I had the right password. I tried over and over, repeatedly, to no avail. I emailed Mary and planned to see her today in the Library so she could help me, but then I didn't get a chance to get over there. Tonight...success!

Regarding my picture of the flowers, I did that kind of accidentally, which is how I seem to be doing most of this. I feel kind of like...not blind, but definitely sight-impaired, kind of stumbling around in the dark. Anyway, I'll try to go back and figure out how I put the picture on there, and then I can explain it! I haven't done this week's assignment yet on Flickr (sp?), so maybe after I do I can put up more pictures!
I was just thinking about composing a post on the frustration of needing so many accounts and passwords -- it is hard to keep everything straight. I just created a Google account so that I could post comments to everyone's blogs (and I'll need it for a future "thing", I suspect). One more password....
