Just a Few Notes on Putting Your Pictures Online


In the last article, I talked about how you can put your pictures online by going to the bottom of your dashboard, clicking on "Picasa Web Albums", and setting up a Picasa account.


For whatever reason, when I went to Mom & Dad's, they did not have this link, so here's my solution for you guys:


Go directly to Picasa Web Albums (click here for the link), set up a Picasa account by entering a screen name and a password. (Just like Blogger, when you log in to this account, you'll type your email as your user name, and then your password)


Now you're ready to create albums etc. in Picasa Web albums, just follow the directions from the previous post on this subject.


One last thing. Again, I don't know why Mom and Dad's computer was so different, but Picasa Web albums only allowed them to upload five pictures at a time, old school style. By installing Picasa 3, a free download from Google, they were able to upload multiple pictures at once.


As you can see, this process worked, and they are well on their way to becoming certified bloggers.

Lost and Found


Dee recently gave me back my old set of encyclopedias, so I could bring them to school. I gave my students an encyclopedia assignment, and one of my students came up to me and said, "Um I found this picture in the encyclopedia..." This image was almost lost, but now it has found its way back into our family album.

Uncle Al's Birthday


We began Al's 80th birthday Sunday, with some fresh, muddled drinks downstairs at the bar. Two of Al's friends, Ted and Paula, came by to help celebrate. Dinner consisted of beef, a salad by Dee, and some sides. Dessert was a birthday ice cream cake, that the number candles fell over in, so in the pictures it kind of looks like 30, but it's actually 80. We finished the dinner with some "Happy Birthday" and a champagne toast.
