Living memory is a site that you can go to and make a family tree, profile about yourself, and just a website to stay connected to friends and family. I found it very user friendly, yet was disappointed because it does NOT have a URL or anything, so I am still trying to figure out how to get it on here.
Living Memory "was inspired by the need to have a place where people can recored life's moments, family stories, important events and irreplaceable photos ("Life Catching)" is just one of the quotes I took from the 'about us' page.
On this site, you can upload photos, create a family tree, share stories and what was really cool about that part is that they ask certain questions. You're not 'impromtu' blogging, if you will. It will list a question and then provide you with points to that question as to more things to write about and/or questions to answer.
I first went to livingmemory.com and followed the prompts. The first page has 3 big blue buttone 1-Sign Up, 2-Take the Tour and 3-About Us. Then after signing up, you enter the details to become a member. I then just became comfy and added all kinds of photos. I am on that site as Jennifer Briscoe...another way of looking me up, you can use my e-mail JFlem27@msn.com. Please feel free! Again, it does not have a URL for me to put on here and show you. One cool thing I was able to do was add an event entitled "Kim Memorial Celebration"...now, I do not have any plans in stone, yet I vow to honor that day in someway special...my sister's first birthday with Jesus, HAS to be mighty special (for her) so I join in that celebration, and us as well knowing where she is.
Lastly, I would still love for some of us classmates to get together...I need an "A' out of this class and because of some of the tech skills I lack, I'm not always getting all the points I can, so S.O.S.!
Thanks and please check me out that way and try it for yourself. It really isn't that much different from myspace or ning (my family has a site on ning) yet the family tree thingie was cool!
Wishing you all the best...we can do it!

Using RSS- like it or no?!
From the educational site...there were SO MANY articles and I really do not believe that they will be useful. The other sites (before reading directions clearly), were a lot more helpful. It is very unfortunate that I could not use those as the feed!
The technology site seemed alright...I loved the information it had regarding cell phones as well as computers!
The others were, indeed, useful because they were of everyday or every other day use to me. The celebreality one is a naughty past time, and I am not limited to VH1 either, because Bravo is moving right up the ladder.
Overall, I found myself intrigued. My ONLY dilemma right at the moment is my Ctr+ print screen button is not doing what it was supposed to do! Go figure...on my way back to that.
Thanks for reading!!
Remember always to spread love and speak life!

P.S. I am also disappointed there was no URL because I REALLY enjoyed creating my google/ig site doing the theme and adding gadgets.
**** Had to come back and edit...what is on here (THIS BLOG SITE) is just okay. There were some really great, informative RSS feeds on my google page, I just could not complete the instruction for getting it in a word document so NEEDING the points, I just did it here so my comments on this one is as follows:
I like the health tip of the day and piano. Oh, also TMZ...the other two, I could have done without, unfortunately.
Now...off to do more to my google page...THAT was very fun!
