Week 11 - Podcasts
I hadn't ever subscribed to a podcast before; it was fun to try something new! I subscribed to the "Vegan Freak" podcast (about living a vegan lifestyle) through iTunes. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, as it was about an hour and a half long. However, the whole process was pretty simple and painless!

Week 10 - Firefox
I've been a pretty dedicated Firefox user for a few years now. I still use IE at work though.
17. I use tabs in both Firefox and IE all the time. I tend to have multiple sites open at once, so this is very convenient. I will admit that I like the way IE has a small blank tab next to your open tabs, which you can click on to open a new tab. In Firefox, you have to go to the menu to open a new tab (the first time - after that you can right click to open additional tabs).
18. I downloaded the adblocker. The download was very fast and simple, and the program was effective.
19. It looks like Ctrl +/- works in both browsers, but I hadn't known this before I saw that Firefox listed them as a shortcut. When using IE, I'd always gone to the menu and chosen smaller/larger manually. That's how I first went about looking for this function in Firefox.

Week 9 - Flickr and YouTube
This one is a bit late, too. Sorry about that!
16. This youtube video is one that our library put together to celebrate National Library week. Our children's librarian, Robin Gibson, was the creative genius behind this project.
14. I took the Flickr tour. Even though I've had an account there for a while now, I didn't know that you could edit pictures in Flickr! I searched and found some gorgeous pictures of weedy and leafy sea dragons.
15. I'm uploading one of my own images from year ago or so. It's of the detail on a bridge in Paris. You'd never notice all of the faces without actually being in a boat on the river.
