Thing 13 Zoho Writer sample


Ok, I am creating a document at Zoho Writer.

I am going to try to post this to my blog. Who knows if it will work! So far, Zoho is a pretty typical WP program. Simple, straight-forward document creation. Nothing too confusing about that. I like that I can access it from home or work or anywhere I else I may find myself in need of a recently created document.

However, this is me waiting for each function on Zoho!

Once again, the lament of the dial-up subscriber. Until modern technology is affordable in my neck of the woods, I will be stuck W---A---I---T---N---G for each and every little thing.

So yes, it has it's value - just don't know how useful it will be to me anytime in the near future, seeing as I can't even get AT&T voicemail where I live. Apparently I am 35,000 ft outside their service area. And we thought we had conquered every frontier!

Thing 12 Rollyo


My Search Roll from Rollyo. Hopefully this time it posts. It's finally showing up, but I keep getting html code errors every time I try to post. After a few fits and starts - namely that Rollyo doesn't force you to log in/create userID before you begin creating your personal searchrolls, so I had to go back and start over. It said my 1st roll was created by user321321321 and wouldn't let me go back and personalize anything. I really think the site should require you to register before allowing you to do anything. After that, I did find the site useful. I created a roll that will help familiarize me with teen topics in the library, book reviews, recommendations, what's next, etc. Now all I have to do is pull up my blog and type something into this toolbar and "voila" my search is over - right?

(well, whadyaknow, it actually worked exactly the way it was supposed to!)
