I'm trying to find myself. Have you seen me lately?

OK, I have to admit that I recycled the title from a t-shirt I wore when I was still living in Calgary, but it's really how I feel!
Last night, I thought I'd do a bit more exploring of some of the tools and sites I've been learning about in the Web2.0 course. I've decided that if I'm going to go to the trouble of learning about them, creating user accounts and adding things, and then blogging about them, then I don't want my efforts to become orphans overnight. So I went back to Flickr and downloaded some of the photos I took on the hike I took at the Huron Nature Area in Kitchener on the weekend. I grew up in Kitchener, and I've always seen the city changing by things being torn down and by more strip malls being built. This area is totally the opposite, and it is a wonderful gift to the residents of the city. yay!! Then, on a roll, I decided to go onto delicious and see how many other people tagged some of my favourite websites. oh oh. In my last post I think I talked about how I struggled with a user name and password for this site. I've never encountered a site that made it so difficult for me to get in.
Well, now I don't know what either my user name or password are. So... if someone, anyone can use delicious to bookmark Local Initiative for Future Energy Co-op, would you perhaps share the newest of the 2 people who did this? That would be me.
If you supply me with my user name I'll give you chocolate! (and I will not criticize you if you use it for makeup...)
I thought I would blog out my frustrations. Everything was fine until hit 'publish post' and I got a very weird error message. Spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure it out (learned I am not alone, not a big help, thank you!) and by then I'd forgotten what I was going to say anyhow. This is my tale of woe. I'm going to do a more positive post about Technorati, OK?

I'm sorry I didn't respond to you earlier about your issues with delicious and postings. I do try to visit everyone's blog a couple times a week but with 30 students it can be hard to keep up. Just for future reference, if you are having a problem and you would like a quick response, please e-mail me directly at jenniferria@gmail.com (also listed on the contacts page of the course blog). You are more likely to get a response the same day or the next.

I'm glad to hear that you're back on track...Lisa is a wonderful resource for computer issues!
