New RSS Feed - Thing #3 Revisited

We learned in our last MILI meeting how to set up RSS feeds from EBSCO and ProQuest. I'm planning on setting up a link to the ALA Washington D.C. blog using Google Reader so I can keep updated on the progress of the SKILLS Act. However, as often happens when exploring new facets of the internet, I noticed the "Photos" link next to the "Reader" link on my Google homepage. Up to this point I'd ignored it because I use Snapfish to hold my photo albums on the web. Someone told me how much they liked using Picasa, a free web-based photo manager, and I discovered that Google Photos uses it. Naturally, Google fan that I am, I downloaded it. I'm just learning to use it, but at first blush it appears to offer many more options than Snapfish. The main advantage? It's free. Mind you, Snapfish only charges around 50 cents a year, but it's still kind of a nuisance to get the e-mail reminders saying that if I don't order something, my account will be canceled. I will have to rename all the pics I downloaded into Google Photos, but that's not the worst thing in the world. The image in this blog entry is my first attempt to use an image from Google Photos. It worked!
