Technorati

I found this to be a very interesting site to lead to other's blogs. It always fascinates me what people write in there blogs.

Tagging

At first I just did not get Tagging. Why do I want a list of my bookmarks. When I read about if you find yourself moving from computer to computer then I saw the advantages to Tagging.

Today I found out or figured out how to play Matchr.

Enjoyed looking at the other photos that I could add to my blog.

I also found a sailboat picture and was able to add it to this blog
