In your Firefox browser (you should switch if you're still using IE). As I was saying, in your Firefox browser go to the 'Tools' menu & select 'Add-ons' and in the 'Get Add-ons' tab search for 'delicious'; install it (add to Firefox).
You will probably have to restart your browser; but when you get back in there'll be some new icons in your browser.
Now, with those websites that you're interested in bookmarking - select the 'TAG' icon & save.
Now click on the white, blue, black & gray flag icon and this will get you to your bookmarks etc.
Done.

del.icio.us
It's well past my tea time and using words such as delicious just isn't fair!
Well, now that I'm starving I might as well find out what this is all about, according to Wikipedia Delicious (formerly del.icio.us, pronounced "delicious") is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks.
Youtube has provided a nice little tutorial for us to view;
Next post will be on how make it work;

Creating Customized Calendars
So it's Tuesday night again, and here in Dunedin I'm at the Socially Constructed Media Workshops; the secret to my success!
I asked about calendars... and I'm about to learn, here's how to do it yourself if you're interested:
Looks like we'll be using Google Calendar for this mission; here's what Wikipedia has to say:
Step 1; Open up google, log in & click the Calendar link on the top left; here's your calendar!
Step 2; Start adding events (fairly self explanatory)
Step 3; Now... to customize your calendar - you'll want to find the little section on the left titled 'My calendars' in a pretty little box. At the bottom left there's a link to 'settings' click here; choose the calendar that you're working on and in here you can do all these interesting little things;
- change the title
- add a description
- change the timezone
- & ACCESS THE EMBED CODE! - you may have noticed (which I didn't) the calendar might not fit into your medium - this blogs width is 400 (but the calendar width was 800). To change this; above the code you'll see a wee customize link - go here and go wild!
Step 4; copy the embed code now and paste away (see below).

Firefox; you win!
Firefox has won me over... yes, Leigh was right!
With the added bonus of the various search functions, the spell-check & the PDF creator... it's time IE & I parted ways.
Now if only I could remember the name of the twitter accessory Leigh mentioned my Firefox transition would be (a little bit more) complete...

Bloging into Facebook
Just to annoy everyone within Facebook I thought I would link this blog to feed into my wall posts. Good fun!
I did this by heading into Facebook (presuming you have one. If not here's some info on Facebook and the best advice I could give you would be to sign in at www.facebook.com, create your account & follow your nose), anyay, once you've got one, head to your 'profile' page & under your 'status update' screen you'll see a little link to 'options' with a microfying glass; click here and it'll chance into 'settings' click this too and you'll see lots of options to import many different mediums. Start with 'blog/rss' and you're done. Done.

Moblogging with Flickr
Moblogging, really? Apparently what I'm about to do is called moblogging; blogging from a mobile according to the all mighty wikipedia
This is done using Flicker... so I've set myself up an account with Yahoo... (hard enough work keeping track of all these accounts you have to establish let alone the actual task you're trying to achieve).
Once you're in there;
1. Head to tools (found right at the bottom of the page)
2. Click the link that says 'very own private upload address'. See your private email address there now...
3. Create a new contact in your phone and add the email address that flicker has given you
4. Send your image from your mobile to this new address; it should appear when you click YOU
5. Click on the image & add a tag to it; now with this tag you can click on it and view those photos or if you click the globe you can see all the photos that are tagged with those words from everyone in the world.... amazing! Done.
