Up in the Clouds again

Heart From Cloud,

What a glorious image! Found it on Flickr and blogged it straight across from Flickr. How cool is that?

I have been looking at Zoho and Google Docs. Online word processors without the cost. Feel very happy to have come across these before we brought the new computer and forked out several hundred dollars for Microsoft Office.

For our needs at home, Zoho has got everything from word processing, forms and even web design application. Will have a look at downloading a free template for a website and processing it in Zoho. I'm having trouble publishing an item on Zoho on this blog. Don't know why. Something about User Names and Passwords and I'm very confused. So, I'll plod on and leave that for another day. May need to log out of Zoho and let it reformat as I have only just confirmed membership. How time flies when you're lost in cyberspace.

I've cut and pasted instead :

Here is a blog published from Zoho. It's doing the funny double spaced thing at the moment but that's okay. I'll figure it out. This is just incredible. Free word processing. I guess I do have concerns that all this is saved in the public domain and if I wrote anything controversial, it may be accessed by 'Big Brother' but I suppose it is unlikely that anything I said could produce much cause for concern!

Because I'm having trouble with Zoho, I've cooled a bit. But will check it out. Had a look at Word Cat. Seems enormous and still in development stages.

Feel sad to be reaching the end of CCL Learn. I have enjoyed it and I've learnt enormous amounts. I'm a little bit bewildered by so much information that has come to me. I need time to absorb it and play around a bit more. There are features such as the blog, Skype, Zoho, Flickr and some of the image editing sites that I will use regularly. I think the Blog is a great tool for recording what I've learnt because I can refer back to it.

A big thanks to CCC for giving me the opportunity to test these things out and the time during work to sit infront of a computer and concentrate. I don't think I'd have been able to get half as far on my own at home. The course notes are great. LAMS is a bit annoying in that you can't go back over things, but all in all it's a great way of learning. I like that it is self motivated and the articles are clear, easy to follow and topical.

I shall keep going!
