What makes you reflect?


It seems blogger is just getting better and better. I can now upload photos directly into Blogger without having to use a third party like flickr.com Now let's see if I can add an audio bit.....

MMS'ing from Phone

OK. In the previous post I sent an MMS (multimedia message service)
message from my mobile to the email account for my blog and it
appeared. Along with a nice message from Telstra (the carrier) saying
they are responsible for putting the message there, not me. Thanks
Telstra. Now shall we sell you?

Also tried to MMS an image through but that didn't work. If I lived
in the US it would. Go to
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1131 for more info, and
to see some examples of how folks use this MMS to blog feature.

A'blogging we will go, A'blogging we will go.......

The Real Deal

Phoned, recorded, and posted this message for the LEARN network during my presentation on Emerging Tedchnologies. This was the first time I've tried this during a presentation and God bless Blogger - it worked! Meanwhile the folks in New Orleans struggle to stay alive....Fats Domino was found alive. It seems the wealthy got out - they had boats, or had the money to pay for one, and as nice as Fats may be he's probably a wealthy man. And he deserves to be. "I'm walkin' to New Orleans", "I found my thrill" etc.

If you haven't discovered Google Earth yet and wiled away precious hours having fun with it I recommend you do so! It's a collection of aerial photographs of the entire planet. Some countries have better photos than others, and the photos of Australia are good enough to actually find your own house. This is what my house looks like from above!

Tips re Using Headings

Tip – when using this tool don’t worry about using a heading in Word because when you publish you have to enter a heading in the title field anyway. So if you do use a heading in Word, delete it before you publish or you will end up with two headings on your blog.

Wonder how fonts, colours etc appear in blogger…..

Second Post

I can now post directly from Word to my blog!!!!!

This is Word Calling Blogger, Word Calling Blogger

This is a trial post using the new blog in Word feature. I am writing this in Word and am about to hit the publish button to see if I can experience yet another layer of blogging magic! Let’s see……. (

Greetings to those at the Rosario EFL Congress

Update:Rosario founded in 1812; Adelaide, Australia founded in 1836 - not such a big difference. Perhaps the differences in architectural style are more the product of different cultures rather than the age of the two locations?
