Yes, I am still around... I've just been hiding out on my Secret Santa site. Ok, not really hiding... just been busy with it! If you haven't seen it yet... check it out... we're having a blast there! And if you like what you see, or have any questions about it & want to participate in a gift exchange (might do 1 for New Years celebration), please send me a PM at that site.The next one I do will only be once a week. I'll be saving the daily one for Christmas time... & my thought is to do this year round... if it catches on, that is! Again, it would be only once a week though!
For those who don't know Caghs has been holding class each Friday (USA time) & has been teaching us some pretty advanced stuff.
Which lead me to think about all those who are new to Multiply & some who are not that computer technical... I'm thinking after the holidays AND after Caghs classes... I was thinking of holding my own "class".
I acted as a substitute teacher last week when Caghs inadvertently missed class... & if you'd like to see what her classes are like, you can check out HER blogs... and then check out my "Practice Makes Perfect" blog.
So my question for you is... IF I do this... what kind of things would you like to learn?
I figure I could teach you all some of my tricks... some secrets & some easy ways to get around Multiply... AND the internet!
I did a copy & paste blog for 360... but that was not really a class, like we can have here. I mention this, because those are the types of things I'm referring to...
A BASIC COURSE!! I thought I'd ask to see if there is any interest and what some may need help with. That way I can prepare the lessons ahead of time... Like are dear friend Caghs.
Here... I'll give you a one tip...something you may or may not know.
When you are looking through your messages in your INBOX & you are just overwhelmed by all your contact's contact's contacts (etc) postings... click on the words: MINE + MY CONTACTS in the "speech bubble" at the top of the page. That will narrow it down to... the messages blogs & etc YOU and your contacts have posted. If you just want to see your posts... then just click MINE.
This helps if you are trying to find something in particular.
There is SO much I can teach!! Just let me know if you're interested and if so, what do you want to learn! Then I'll post a schedule like Caghs did for hers.
Oh, I also need to what day is best for everyone!
Now, keep in mind I do not have a job, so I can do almost any day & anytime... BEFORE 4:00p.m. (EST).
If we go ahead & do this... & you can not make the day we do, don't worry... you can check it out when class is over & practice all you want! :)
Like I said... check out "Learning with Carrie" for an example!! :)
I still owe you a blog about my Christmas parties I attended... I still plan on it. I thought I better mention it to remind myself! LOL
Also, I wrote up my favorite Christmas memories last Sunday... but I have to find it... I think it's on my thumb drive.
I wrote it in Notepad because I was at my mom-in-laws & she does not have a computer, or internet access... So, I took SenCi with me & typed up a storm to keep me occupied while Hubby & she watched the Snow Bowl... (the football game that was in Cleveland last week & was snowing like crazy! It was a crazy game! I don't think I've seen such a game! & The score was Cleveland 8 & Buffalo 0. Now, come on, it had to be crazy, if the score was 8 to 0!!! crazy crazy crazy!!)
Did I use the word crazy enough? I had to... I just love the zzzz's in this font!!! (Hee Hee Hee Hee... I just crack myself up sometimes!)
So, I guess what I am saying is... STAY TUNED!!
I would like to learn how o make my own layouts for my page. Right now I have been using an already made layout. If you do a class on this I will happily join!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good idea ... and, frankly, some of us could do with the help, but may I defer on a decision to join your classes until I complete Cagh's course please? She is such an excellent teacher and I truly want to give her 100% and pass her exam. We are about half way through (as you know) ... and it may be because of her patience and excellent teaching skills, that I could miss your basic beginner classes and join at a more advanced class later, if that's OK with you?
ReplyDeleteThere's also the time difference problem, as you've acknowledged. Caghs takes her classes at an incredibly late hour (circa 23:00+ hours) from Australia in order to take in her UK students (12:30 hours) and her USA students (anywhere from 06:30+ hours). She's incredibly generous with her time, even though sometimes she must be falling asleep over the keyboard!
I look forward to seeing you at Cagh's next class (next Friday).
good thinking, i enjoy Caghs classes, even tho i know im not going to be able to do the exams, coz i love the pasting and copying, thats the only way i can get it all in the classes but i still enjoy it and have learnt alot and copy it all to word so i can try it at a later date if i need to.
ReplyDeleteGo for it, it will be fun, but like Sumax said, would be better if u did it after Caghs classes, which i think you also mentioned u would do anyways.
I have alot to learn but i have really surprised myself with what i have taught myself since not having my hubby around, i have HAD to do things around the computer myself now.
xoxox
LOL you're not far off :D
ReplyDeleteBecky, I think your classes sound like a wonderful idea :) Feel free to ask me if you need any advice, but I'm sure you'll do just fine *hugs*
I'm thoroughly enjoying the Secret Santa thing, such a wonderful idea. I'm a little stuck on ideas, but I'm sure something will sort itself out. I have an idea for today at least, so that's something ;)
*hugs* God bless you hon!
Yes, I would be doing it AFTER Carrie's classes! I would not want to compete at all with them... & I to need to concentrate for her classes!! LOL :)
ReplyDeletewell, I guess I'm signed in on Secret Santa site. LOL
