damn it I cant figure out how to imbed the photo.... I have been to the icon 'Add image' in the create posts area and go through the steps to select the location, press upload image (which it says it has done) but then when I publish the post the image is just blank....
any clues folks??

photo imbedding guinea pig
this is a test to see if I can imbed a photo..... but what I need to do is add some text to this post to see how it ends up wrapping around an image.....
bla de bla de bla..... have been reading some of the other blogs today..... wow, very impressive how some people have got on so far.....
moving posts around
ok, so I managed to post the photo links but I would like them underneath my post, rather than above. please can someone tell me how to move them around the page? I have tried in the Edit posts section but I cant see a link that lets you change the order of the posts.....
slow on the up take
As my blog title suggests, I am good at wandering, and blonde (so a bit slow on the uptake hence the name of this post... :o)! ) I have been doing the weekly exercises, but then run out of time to actually post my comments here.... bla bla, excuses excuses..... let's just get on with it.....
So week 3...... Flickr...... I have used Flickr before to view photos from friends and family, but I must admit that I am not that comfortable with using it for my personal photos because of its wide access. I think its wonderful for travel photos, location photos, work photos etc, but I wouldnt want pics of my kids or house etc in the public domain as I am always a bit wary of the 'nutter' element out there..... call me cautious/paranoid but thats just me!!
is there someway you can restrict who views particular photos on Flickr??
Now for another question.... I would be really interested in finding out if there is some easy/secure system you can use to digitise and put old paper/35mm negative photos on the www.... I have hundreds of them but no time to scan them all in individually... does anyone know of anything like this??
the other thing that has really impressed me in my adventure into 2.0 is how some relatively small organisations are leading the way in using these technologies.... the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County for example..... I am extremely impressed/in awe that a regional library network is blazing the way like it is. It also makes me wonder how they and others are doing this..... is it access to budget and other resources or is it because they have some key individuals who are driving forces behind the work they are doing.... e.g. would the Powerhouse be doing some or all of the interesting things that they are doing without Seb Chan (and his team) being the driving force??
gosh - see how easily I go a-wandering!.....
right-o, I better do some of the exercises that I am actually supposed to be doing!!
find an interesting image that you think illustrates one of our values (Equity of Access, Innovation & Engagement, Valuing People, Honour & Integrity or Energy & Teamwork). Include either a link to the image or a copy of the image itself in your blog posting.
I have chosen 2 light-hearted images to illustrate teamwork...... let's see if these links work......
