Discovering

Just a quick post before I put my Tuesday Tutorial post up later on. I've been discovering a few things over the last few days from promotion ideas to fellow Craftfesters, how to bumble to setting up backlinks. My favourite has to be the ability to put a slide show from my Craftfest stall to anywhere I like. How cool is that?

And here it is :)

How cool is that. Ok, I'm a silver surfer who's easily fascinated, but my excuse is that when I was at school you still ran a program by filling in cards with a 2B pencil and sent them off to a mainframe computer. Can you believe that was 1978? How far has computing come!

I am getting a little addicted to pinterest too. I love how you can see so much stuff without hunting through lots of sites and you can find new sites you might like through it. I have a board with some items from craftfest on it, so you can get a taste for the site too. Click on the cushion here, then on the Artisan made at Craftfest to see my board so far. There will be more to follow as I work my way through all the stall holders.

Hope you all have a great day,
Janice x

  1. I think your school was more advanced than mine Janice! But then what would I know - in 1983 we found out that boys had been going to a computer class when the girls didn't even know there were computers in the school (we thought we were equal then) Lu

    1. Here's a mainframe computer - they were often the size of a large house! Look at the data though and the computing power is a fraction of your laptop!
