What I have so far learned!

Hello again,
I had so much information and interaction from Twitter that I hope I can get it all in here today. First I started chatting with @Bensonix across the pond. He told me about a "bad" neighbor, but things seem to be okay. I mention him because he looked very familiar to me; I swear I saw him at the British Isles Show here in Canada, but he said no. He is a fun twitter friend and I hope readers follow him.
Then I came across a follower @paulbritphoto Paul who made me a shorter link to this blog and became a follower of it. You would think photography would have been the initial discussion, but I was educated on how to make the link.

That is the little link maker as I call it. It shortens your links for you so that they aren't longer than one of my books. At this site you have to sign up and you can have it directly linked to Twitter if you wish. Once there you have to ensure your computer's "cookies" remember you. After that get the site page of your blog/domain etc and put it into the bit.ly link maker. It gives you a shorter link to whatever blog/domain address you entered.

My new link I renamed and this is it : http://bit.ly/Desiree_blog

I was told by @paulbritphoto Paul that by making my own I could track the number of clicks the above link would get. I am not exactly that far into this blog to start tracking it just yet, but it is handy to know.

Eventually we got to discussing cameras after I connected with him on Facebook, and I had a glance at his photos. On a final note about @paulbritphoto Paul I must ask readers to check out his web site : http://sites.google.com/site/paulpalmspringsphoto/
There are some very beautiful photos there you might want to look at.

The last thing I want to mention is a friend of mine Peter who I often see at the library. He is originally from Britain where his mother still lives. I believe we first got chatting over British pensions as he is a pensioner and I came into contact with some great advisors at the British Isles show. I hadn't seen Peter in a long time and was glad to run into him and hear his mom (in her 90's) was doing fine back home. With the upcoming British Isles Show in April I had been thinking about him and his mom. It's so odd how these things all happen around the same time. All is good so I am good.

Thank you for reading,
Desiree Doucette
