Travel

Rollyo is a very easy site to set up and register. I did a google search for my favourite websites to group my 'Travel' subject. There are ready examples for entering individual sites to search. Then "Choose a category"where you would like your Searchroll listed in the Rollyo directory.
Rollyo is not for me. But it may be great to set it up for teachers conducting a class or for kids homework.

Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/qweer08

Above is my URL address for 'What's on my bookshelf'.
Needed to sign up for the "Library Thing".
Create your own online library by adding your favourite books.
I started with a couple of non-fiction titles, but the picture of the front book cover won't show up.
I did a duoble click on the first fiction book. I couln't delete the duplicate cover.
Anyway it is an easy blog to set up

Crocs

Just done it.

Magnigraph is easily edited on the public PC Learnet. It was not possible to upload from the staff PC. The 'horse' was walking and walking non-stop and I have to close and restart elsewhere.

The Generator Blog is a software I enjoyed playing with. With magnigragh you can create your own images in black, white red or blue.

View my red crcocodile? Change to blue with a click.

I started with an aquarium fish, it was impossible to work on it.

A Beautiful Love Story

HOPE is a Waking Dream ... with LOVE everything is POSSIBLE An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world.
It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.
The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last
50 years.
Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin..
In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.
At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQingMunicipality . In the beginning, life was harsh as hey had nothing, no electricity or even food.
They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a
kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives. Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you regretful? Liu always replied, 'As long as we are industrious, life will improve.'
In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years,
to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and
were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps.
Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much,
they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day.
He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience,
although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'
The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years,
returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as
he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.
You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died,
now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'
Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin
with tears rolling down her cheeks.
In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the
Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder
and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

RSS

I have conquered RSS. Just learnt how to add feeds to my blog. Added eleven news feeds to my reader. Have subscribed three colleague blog feeds.
I like the Topix layout with good pictures.
Welcome to Syndic8 looks confusing.
Try Technovati - Blog finder took ages to load.
Good experience. I like the news feeds.
Need time to look at things. Computer was going very slow on each step. At times have to log off to start off again.

Here is my URL:

Hi

Blogging is brand new to me It is going to be a huge load of homework for me. At last I am a blogger. Gmail was easy to sign up to start with. Choosing a password and sign in name took me quite a while as each try ,it turned out to be a bad choice. I prefer to remain very very anonymous so I think I have to be very careful with what I put into my blog to remain anonymously.
