Week 4: RSS Feeds  # 8 & 9

# 8  Arrived at Bloglines and set up yet another Roost which I call Wind Dancer's View. From where I perch there's a bird's eye view of what is happening in my country of origin and elsewhere.
# 9  Technorati let me do a favorite search: Tarot cards. I am so famous there must be a pack that includes an image of me, perhaps on card #14 Temperance, #20 Judgement or #21 The World. Here's one blog site I investigated: The Tarot Channel.

Week 3:  Photos & Images  # 5, 6 & 7


# 5  Set up a roost on Flickr. The bird part of me delights in viewing photos and even more in examining artwork, probably because, in the long ago days when I was more than legend, a quill might be an artist's tool of choice.
# 6  To remind myself how valuable I've been in making the artist's vision exist for others, I have added a Flash montage of my favorite artwork using Flickr's handy Badge tool. Also created a Sirin trading card to pass out on my travels, but discarded it because FD's Toys asked for access to my Flickr account if published there. Sorry, but I am a private sort of bird. So I flew back and tried again choosing download instead. Voila! Here is Melusina.
# 7  Since the human part of me has occasional trouble navigating and I am now on a challenging journey, finding out about Global Positioning System applications seems very practical. This article What is GPS? has a good explanation of how it works and its uses. To think I have to try to open a printed map while gliding or must inquire directions from a harried avian commuter.
While flying over Albion I noticed a Crowe's Nest meriting much closer examination and dropped a feather to indicate I'd be back.

Week 2:  Blogging  # 3 & 4

# 3  Setting up a blog roost wasn't so difficult. Just had to spend several hours exploring the terrain, fussing with type and color adjustments to find a look that suits my exotic nature. So after more fussing to return ruffled wing feathers to elegant flying order, I'm ready for take off on this Learning 2.0 journey.
# 4  Here I am, still flapping my wings and waving my two human arms. Well, I'm taking off even if I'm not yet officially registered as one of the adventurers.
