This Is Why. |
 |
|
 Of all the five Ws, my favorite is the question Why. It’s amazing how much one can discover about others and even the self by delving into the depths of this single question.
Barely three months after I began my scrapbooking journey with our dearest Jessica’s first-ever digital online course, I got bitten by the Why bug and wrote down in my blog the reasons why I scrapbook. Then course after course followed, and layout after layout got created, and blog post after blog post buried that original scrapbook-soul-searching post I wrote. You know how we scrapbookers love a traipse down memory lane once in a while, right? Well, with National Scrapbooking Day looming in the horizon, I found myself revisiting that same old question. I stumbled upon my old article. And, filled with amazement, I realized that not a single thing has changed despite the passing of more than two years since I first started scrapping; the reasons that lie behind my passion for creating pages and layouts remain constant to this very day. I’d like to share with you the reasons why I love scrapbooking, in the hopes that as you read on, you will be filled with the same sense of wonderment, and begin (or revisit) your own journey into the depths of why you choose to preserve the precious moments of your life in photographs and layouts {...}

How important to you is sharing online? |
|
 So. The survey results are still coming in, THANK YOU for your terrific responses! Here's one tasty tidbit from the Statistics Department: 66% of you said you spend more than 10 hours a week online. Of that, 30% said you spend more than 20 hours online. YEAH HONEY. Work that keyboard! Obviously not all of that time is spent directly related to digital scrapbooking. Perhaps you play online games, or chat with friends and family, and we all spend time emailing, right? I actually do think that as digital (and hybrid) scrapbookers, we probably spend more time online than the average person, since our supplies are here, but I also suspect we might spend more time online because our communities are here, too. And I 'm wondering about that today - how important to you is sharing your work, your life, your hobby with others online? And related to this - how important is it to participate in the work, life, and hobby of others who scrapbook? {...} |

RSS - What the Heck? |
|
|
If you visit more than 2 blogs a week, and you've never heard of RSS, you really should read on: RSS actually stands for "Really Simple Syndication", and it's basically this: Your favorite blogs (yay! including us right here at JessicaSprague.com!) have a feed, which is basically all the new posts or articles on that blog or site, constantly updated and broadcast out into the ethosphere. It's a little like a radio station. And just like tuning in to your favorite radio station to hear NPR or Pearl Jam, you can subscribe to the blog's feed to have new articles delivered to you. So, how do you subscribe? And how is the feed delivered? And how is that better than just going to your favorite blog and reading it in its original version? Ah yes. Good questions. Read on for a quick 4-step guide to RSS: {...} |
