Hey Nana! Let's Get Started!

So, we were talking last night about blogs and, while I know you're interested, I could tell you didn't really understand why one might use blogs for something other than cyberstalking. (Cyberstalking, in case you don't know, is the use of the internet to stalk someone. According to wikipedia, it's a way to harass someone; I just mean keeping track of the goings on of friends and family without necessarily talking/emailing/seeing them.) So here goes. . .

Every once in a while, if I think you might be interested in something I'm doing online or with technology, I will document it here. This blog* will keep track of what I've done in reverse chronological order so you will see the most recent posting first. And, in future postings, I will show you how to use some of the navigational tools on this and any blog you find online.

I hope you find this fun and interesting Mom! And, if you ever stumble across something you want some help using or finding, let me know!

*Did you know that the word "blog" is short for the term Web Log?

Tip of the Day:

You want a quick and easy way to find the definition of a term? (Hint: Your HUGE unabridged dictionary may not be the right answer.) Simply type in the word "define" before the word you're looking for in your favorite search engine.

The first result in your search will be a definition! Here's some more information on search shortcuts:
