Photo attempt number 4
Trying another method of uploading a photo from flickr - let's see how we go. No - I broke it! Now the picture icon to upload won't even open.
Uploading from Flickr- not yet
Trying to add some photos to this blog that I have uploaded to Flickr is becoming tiresome - I shall try again later, but wait, I might just get there tonight. I have uploaded but don't see the photos! Alas my friends, Omar is retiring for the eve.
On second thought - I think I've got it (maybe)

Or at the moment, maybe not - here is the link - will try again another day.

Where are you?
It seems easy to create a blog - but is anyone actually reading them? A question to ponder.

Blog effort #1
Greetings all!
They say the hardest thing to do in any task is to begin - so here we go. I wouldn't say that poetry is my greatest love, but I have always been a big fan of Omar Khayyam, and to that end I have slightly plagiarised one of my favourite poems of his. I used this example because I really like "The moving finger writes..." (you can find works of his in any good library - have a read, they're terrific) because it lent itself to the world of the Internet in a funny sort of way.
The moving finger clicks, and having clicked,
page loads: nor all thy passwords incorrect or page not found
Shall stop searches being flicked,
Across the net where users are unbound.
(Apologies Omar :-{ )
While the options on how to have your work published have changed from the eleventh century, the Internet with all its opportunities has allowed anyone to publish and the ability to find information on almost any topic from anywhere in the world is now a reality. From those first cautious clicks on your mouse, the world opens up before your eyes and a serendipitous ride can follow on. Who knows where you can end up and what you may find along the way.
