Learning To Use Blogsy!

Since we will be leaving on our next traveling adventure in September, Mark has been after me to figure out how to post trip updates for family and friends from our ipad to this newly created blog. After doing a little bit of research, I decided to purchase the Blogsy app. So far I am impressed with all of the support the creators of Blogsy offer for beginners like me! So . . . this is an experimental post to see what I can actually do from my ipad and may appear a little random to those of you who end up reading it:) Please bear with me and feel free to send me any thoughts, tips or feedback.

We want to be able to include photos, so I am going to try adding some pictures from various places where they are currently stored.   Let's see what happens . . .

This is beautiful, snow-covered Mt Rainier viewed from Paradise during our Fall 2010 trip to Washington and Oregon. The colors were gorgeous!

Okay, that took awhile, but I think I got it! That photo was from my Flickr file. Let's try one that's already stored on my ipad . . .

This is a photo of our sweet granddaughter, Jade.

I had to upload it to Picasa first, but it wasn't difficult.

I think I will try downloading some from my camera next and see what happens . . .

Our son, Nathan, is running for Kent County Commissioner. On Saturday we walked in the Byron Days Parade. You can find out more at NateVriesman.com.

All those red shirts are Nate supporters:)

I downloaded the pictures from my camera, did a little cropping, then needed to upload from my camera roll to Picasa before I could drag and drop into my blog post. I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Well, I think that's enough practice for one day. Now the challenge is to see if I can actually post this. If it works, Mark will be so proud of me:)

Success!!!!
