Picasa Download

A Beginners Guide to Google PicasaAfter seeing all the great features of the Picasa program, I wanted to download it to my home computer - of course. To do this, you go to the Google site and click the "more" button (mine was in the top left corner) then you will see an option that says "photos".

When you click it, you will be taken to a Picasa page that, had I bothered to read properly, sets up a Picasa photo sharing site for you online. The pictures from my blog automatically showed there and since I'm not inclined to put two and two together, I thought they were somehow uploaded from my hard drive. Being the private person that I am, I deleted them from this public site and didn't notice the warning that the photos would be deleted from my blog posts. I see you shaking your head and yes, I did have to edit each post and replace the pics (fortunately, not many).

Because I like to make mistakes like this, you don't have to. For the actual Picasa download, scroll to the bottom of the page that opened on Google and click Download Picasa. Now wasn't that easy?

Until next time,
Carol

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
