Digital Camera - Success!



First Photo Uploaded From Digital Camera - my i-pod


An achievement. Of sorts anyway.  I think as long as I remember to put the memory card in the slot and 'open folder to view files' and select the folder associated with the camera, the photos will appear on screen.  Then save them as normally. 

To insert picture on to this blog, just click on 'insert image' on the photo icon and voila - one picture!  I photographed my i-pod as a few followers implied that they did not know what an i-pod is.

Well there you are. I have learned how to download pictures from the camera to the PC - then insert into the blog.  If I am honest, that is only the tip of the iceberg.  I need to know how to do it on my own as further assistance from my man is testing his patience (and mine).  Of course I probably should be reading the instruction manual but I have discovered that I have to download it - which I really can't be bothered to do.  Unless I can work it out myself, or can ask my man - it is unlikley that I will downloading the instruction manual anytime soon!

Ideally, I will improve the look of this blog by adding more pictures to the template.  Also, photos will appear more regularly.  Although I need to make sure that the resolution of the photos is not high so as to slow down the opening of the blog.  That I have no idea how to do - i think it is a setting on the camera.

This technological learning is hard work!



Progress Schmogress!

I have not posted in a while as... I have had nothing to post. Been busy with job interviews, various birthdays in the family and life in general.  I have not learned anything new and I had thought I would be on my third gadget by now.

Still, my new found confidence has led me to:
- prove to my daughter that she can play songs on 'repeat' on her i-pod touch;
- work out how my daughter changed my mobile phone to 'random wallpaper'.

I have decided that children are so good at working out how gadgets work because they are not scared of messing something up or losing stuff.  That will now be my approach.

Also, although I did not learn how to use it, we made sausages using the sausage maker recently.  Words of advice, collagen(?) sausage skins are weird and split very easily; don't trim all the fat off the pork belly - the sausages were a bit dry.  But everything was edible.  When I have worked out how to load photos from the camera, I will post the pictures as proof!

I have been reading a few selected blogs recently and am loving them. I am hoping this will spur me on and even expand my topics.

Back to the grind stone :-)
