Freeway igoogle





I've created my iGoogle home page and added to it the Google Book Search gadget, a Facebook gadget, and the Google Docs and Spreadsheet gadget. I decided to add "Ancient photos of the day" and "This day in history" gadgets to my home page as well.

The Google Map Search gadget has also been added and I used it to plan the route we will take when we travel to Warrnambool for a long weekend. The photo above is of the Proudfoot Boathouse in former times. This National Trust building is on the Hopkins River at Warrnambool and is currently used as a Restaurant. The boathouse is located in a very scenic place on the river and the area is good for kayaking, fishing, or just lazing around on a sunny day.

I enjoyed creating my iGoogle page. It gives people without a lot of computer experience the opportunity to create a page that reflects their interests and that is meaningful to them.

This is a fantastic photo. It looks like so many of the buildings along the coast in Victoria and Tasmania.

Makes me think of fish and chips, for some reason; maybe I've had a meal from a building that looked like it!

Hi Bec

I gather from something Tom said at the Big Day In that people like me have not been responding to comments posted on our blogs. So I am replying to your comment and am feeling very guilty for not responding to any of your previous attempts to create a conversation.

I like looking around old buildings and visiting National Trust properties when I can. The old photographs and memorabilia found in these places reinforce how living conditions have changed within a few generations.
