Last to know?

Some people just seem to know about techy things, I'm not one of them. So when I find something I had been wishing for already exists I am disproportionatly happy!

We are on AOL and had been talking about changing to a cheaper option ( it's all about budgeting here these days) but I didn't want to loose my hundreds of favourites - tutorials, shopping sites, recipes, gardening tips etc. Then this week I discovered Delicious, the solution! I saw it as a button on someone's blog and wondered what it was, now I have my own page there and have been saving urls like a demon. I love the way you can tag things so that it makes it easy to find what you are after. And also to nosy at what other people, who like the same stuff as me, have saved too.

   

I have been playing with my new camera, especially with the depth of field, so of course needed to subscribe to a few more blogs to help.Digital Photography School is proving the best so far with really clear explanations of shutter speeds, DoF,ISO and their relationships, I've hardly scratched the surface as there is so much great info, worth a look if you want to move beyond 'Auto'!    

Have a weekend filled with savouring the small details.

I love that last photo especially. HOpe you're having fun with your new camera.
And no, you're not the last to hear about Delicious - I've only recently had it explained to me, and I've yet to set up my account. I feel this could be the answer to my increasingly unnavigable list of bookmarks though!

Your new camera is really enabling you to get some top captures! Love them!
I doubt you are the last to know. I'm so terrible, I can say I've heard of Delicious, but haven't looked into it. Sounds very good.
Also thanks for letting me know that you are still getting updates come through on bloglines from my blog...i think i may have solved my problem/s.

Thanks for the link to the digital photography site! I really love the couple of tips I saw on their blog, and hope to use them to my own advantage sometime :) Home photography is so much fun with digital technology!!!!!

Thanks so much for the link to the Digital Photography School - silly me hadn't thought to search for blogsites other than quilting, crafts etc LOL. I too have a new camera that I'm getting the hang of - lots of fun - though scary gadgets when you get brave enough to take them off auto... Happy crafting and snap taking. Hugs Jx

I didn't know either - so thanks for the tip!

Funnily enough we have also moved from AOL to Sky - which is working out cheaper for us.
