Try Learning Another Something New Everyday! I Just Did - Second Day!
Thanks to Looking at Active Rain blog posts every day, - - - I just learned something new - - - again! Every day, it's important to try to learn something new.
I was wandering around on different posts, then returning to my post on Try Learning Something New Everyday! I Just Did! to place comments. The light bulbs went off for me! I am sure you veterans already know this, but for me, it was a revelation, and I immediately tried it! I went back into the application PICNIK that I spoke about in the last post.
I also realized that I was about to learn something new again!
I just took the slide show one step further, and placed it into my website. The slide show was about the home I will be doing an Open House for in a week. I realized that I would love to use that PICNIK slide show on my website for many different applications, so why not try this first on a hidden page? ... See if it worked ....
Eureka! It did! Gotta love Active Rain ....

Dagny ~ That is great! I love learning new things every day. I use Slide a lot for slide shows. I'll have to check out PICNIK a little more. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Dagny....Yes we share and learn from one another in the Rain, been that way since i joined...and yes the new friends are a big plus too. I met you and introduced you to AR..it took you a while then you jumped on board 110%. What a great contributor you are here.
Have you tried Photobucket..it easy to upload your photos and create a slide show, or just keep the album with separate photos..each will have it's own html code or link too.
Cheers.

I just learned something new on AR, you can find leaky pipes in walls with a thermal imaging device. check out blog... http://activerain.com/blogsview/1809236/thanks-to-our-thermal-imaging-investigation- having the right tool for the job makes a difference.

David - That's an awesome thing! That means when you test a foreclosure house, turn on the water, you can actually make sure the pipes have not been removed or destroyed!

Dagny- Thanks to Active Rain I found Picnik a while back. I have not quite stepped up to the slideshow yet, but I liked what you did.

Hi Dagny, Such synchronicity! I am on the same video learning curve as you are and just made my own video using photo story and You Tube. It is so exciting!
I am just thrilled with ActiveRain and what you can learn from folks in this vibrant community-everyone bringing something different: totally new information and much needed reminders of something stuck way back in my brain. Great posts, these last two especially. Today is my 1 month anniversary and I am getting more excited every day. And thank you for visitng my blog-you were one of the first and I appreciated your visits! : )

Hi Dagny,
Just stopping by to see how is everything with you...I have been extremely busy this summer and did not have much time to allocate to ActiveRain as I wish I would...Hope everything is fine.

There is so much information on ActiveRain. Luckily, there is a search function. Slide show looks great.

Wow, Dagny...I've had a Piknik account for some time now, but never explored it beyond creating collages or resizing pictures...but you can actually create a slide show with it? Cool!
