Task #23

My favorite part about Webolution 3.0 has been learning about blogging and figuring out all the nuts and bolts of it. I've learned a lot just about how to maintain my blog, and I've enjoyed making it my own. I also enjoyed exploring picnik.com some more. There are a lot of neat functions it offers.

Webolution 3.0 has been great. Thanks Nancy and Cari!

Task #22

Wow, Nancy, that TasteSpotting site is making me hungry! The desserts look fantastic, and there several options for vegetarians - very cool. I'm not much of a cook, but this site might actually turn me into one. I think I'll try to make Hearty Vegetarian Chili - sounds good for this time of the year.

Neal showed me poemhunter.com which is a site that I use frequently. You can look up poems by title or poet, which I find very helpful. There is also a "Poem of the Day" and links to poetry contests. If you like poetry or are looking of a particular poem, check it out.

Task #21


Shanna showed me Picnik a few months ago, and I've been using it a lot. It's a great photo editor. I used it on a PowerPoint presentation a couple of months ago, and I recently used it to help me create my CAL poster board presentation on the last Summer Library Program. Today, I used the sketch function on my employee picture. I think it looks pretty cool.

Task #20

On the Mesa County Government website, I looked up where I live. I also browsed some of the articles that are posted on the site, which I have never looked at before. I noticed too, that there are links about H1N1 and taxes - both links that I'm sure are looked at a lot.

On the State of Colorado site, I looked up a change of address form for voter registration. I also explored the tourism link, looking at the events and activities I could get involved in.

Lastly, I spent some time in the Ben's Guide to the Government. I thought if was a useful site for kids and parents to use as they learn more about the government. I like that a person can print out games and activities and that it gives links to government sites as well - very helpful site to remember.

Task #19

I got a 100% on the wiki quiz. It seemed much easier than the website quiz, but I did discover the FAQs, Promo Materials, and Branch Open Procedures links because of the quiz, so I did learn a few things.
