Google Map
I successfully created a map – but, I was only able to tag it; when I tried to upload pictures of this amazing slice of heaven, it didn’t accept them and I do not have a clue as to why. You may want to check out this place if you are the nature loving type that grooves on beaches and seclusion.
RSS FEEDS
This was a totally frustrating experience for me – I was not successful. I assume this is because I was not present in class when this topic was covered and the assignment page and lecture notes do not provide enough guidance for a novice like myself – or I am incapable of following simple directions; either way, I failed.
Hey, while I was creating my google map, I noticed the RSS icon, clicked, and proceeded to create an RSS feed on my blog for google maps – not impressive by any stretch of the tech know-how spectrum, but it is a start!
I just added another RSS – RSS Feed Directory – progress? Maybe???
