Introduction to Web 2.0

This is my first blog. I didn't even know what the word meant until 2 days ago. I have been keeping journals for many years now. These , however have been written with a favorite fountain pen (Pilot disposible, only available at Hands Stationary in Delray Beach, FL) on paper.
In creative writing class we spent a lot of time talking about our journals. They were considered very private. Some people even made arrangements in their wills for either the destruction of their journals or bequests of them to a special friend or relative. Sharing is new to me.

I think if I hadn't been lured into this by my employer, with a prize of a new lap top ( maybe) at the end , I probably would not be doing this now.

O.k.,so that's it for now. I 've played for15 minutes now. Imagine working at a place where they encourage you to learn and play!

Hi Geri

I used to write tons of stories and poems by hand, but in the mid-90s I switched to the computer and haven't gone back. I am out of the habit now and when I try to write by hand for too long my hand gets too tired.

My blog is http://amandawel.blogspot.com
