Generate or Propagate


Week 5 #10, #11, #12

Now is a good time to take cuttings from others to add to your collection. This is a cheap & effective way to create something new from the work of others.
With the FD Toys site I was able to quickly and easily propagate this enticing magazine cover http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/ .
Less successful has been my propagation of Basil. The Internet might have viruses but at least it doesn't have snails!

As if my current obsession has not been given enough exposure already, I can now catalogue my reading on the subject! Oh joy - 2 obsessional behaviours accommodated in one activity. Apparently my reading choices are obscure (I don't know why...) as virtually no-one has read 50% of the items I listed. Not sure this is a comforting way to spend my time afterall! Are there any stamp cataloguing sites instead?

With Rollyo I have created a search roll on the topic of cars ... no, just kidding. Of course it's on gardening. This was easy to do & I can see a benefit with this if you commonly like to search a certain bundle of websites for particular information. Even better, I have successfully added my Rollyo as a link to this blog, along with my Bloglines account. Now I can access these from 1 point. YAH! But it was a bit complicated. However, no such luck (at this stage) with creating a search box. GROAN!
