YouTube Video.

Ok, so I've finished my video - I decided to present it in the form of a slideshow presentation using audio, images and quotes that reflect how I feel.
However, I'm finding it impossible to upload it to YouTube! I've followed every tutorial known to man, converting the file into a JPEG. and a PNG. file, and then tried using Windows Movie Maker, but that removes all the detail on the slide, including audio.
HELP, SOMEONE!!!

Journal.

I feel like I'm fnally making progress with my journal. When I first started, I found it all quite a daunting process, as I really struggle to write my thoughts and feelings down - I normally throw myself into dancing to release any frustration or to express happiness, so this was a real challenge for me.
However, now I'm a couple of weeks into it, I'm finding myself taking a notepad with me wherever I go, jotting down bits and pieces that particularly affect me immediately, while the emotions are still fresh, rather than relying on my memory at the end of the day.
Just reading previous bits of my journal now, a week or two on, I can already see a small journey in my style of writing, and also in my thought process behind the words. I started my new job today, so I'm sure that my journal will take a new direction with the many experiences to come.

Delicious

Having looked at other people's positive feedback of the bookmarking site 'Delicious', I decided to sign up myself. It seems to be a really valuable tool to use, especially since this profession means we don't often have a fixed location with access to he internet.
I'm still navigating my way around the site, but it seems pretty straightforward to use.
I think it will be an essential tool to utilise on this course, especially with organisation. Having each page readily bookmarked, instead of having to navigate your way through numerous pages until you find the one you wanted  will be fantastic, getting straight to the point, saving time.
