Today I tried out Picasa2 to see just what it would do. I'm trying to see just what it is capable of doing. It isn't too powerful, but it's good for quick fixes. The part I think is so interesting is that it is connected seamlessly with Blogger! Duh---that's why you have to use a Blogger says "use your Google account" to sign in!! But somehow I keep forgetting that Blogger and Google are.....family! :) Now have you tried Google notebook yet? I'm telling you---it's fantastic. You can just clip notes from this website and that and ...presto....notes in a notebook! Cool!!
Yesterday I was struggling to get a Word document to upload or connect is some way to the blog....then I imported it into Google Documents and clicked "Publish" and guess what.....presto----into the blog.
You know I'm a webmaster----I build webpages and websites and I encourage you to do that all the time---but I'm beginning to see that blogging is really no different than your baisc webpage---putting stuff on the internet as information for others. Tonight I'm going to take a look at Google webpage builder.
Conclusion: Go look at Picasa2 and upload to your blog; try the Google Notebook; take a look at Google Documents (note the collaboration option---it even includes a chat piece.....wonder if that will bypass the block some places have on email and IM during school hours).
