Thing #6- Flickr Fun, Mashups, and 3rd Party Sites


I was completely unfamiliar with these fun sites before... I loved making up my own poster. Who would've thought that it would be possible and/or so easy?! This technology thing is starting to get less and less intimidating and scary by the second.

I am so excited to visit Xian and see this in person... just the photo alone gives me goosebumps. Over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and weapons unearthed!

We will be headed to Beijing first... I'm so excited to see the Great Wall of China... too bad I can't see all 5,500 miles of it!

Thing #5- Explore Flickr

Wow, this was WAY more fun than I was expecting. I loved how easily accessible this world of photos was... I'd heard of Flickr before, but was a bit resistant to exploring it further because it was just another "unknown." I had such a fun time searching for photos under the "China Travel" theme. Since I just recently booked my trip to China for this summer, but haven't yet bought any tour books, I had a blast looking at Flickr photos of some of the main attractions I will be visiting.

Thing #4- Register Your Blog

Even though I completed this Thing a while ago, I'm only now posting my blog about it. I'm very embarassed to say that after the first few Things, I was quite exhausted and on Technological-Overload. :) I've neglected my poor blog for a while and I'm hoping to re-motivate.
