My New Webcam

Until yesterday, the only webcam I had was on my little Asus Netbook. I bought this little computer to carry around Mexican towns in search of WIFI and seldom used it for much else as I carry my full size laptop in the motorhome. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a $10 webcam from eBay. I hooked the little thing up to my new Acer desktop and here is my test shot!

Words To Avoid

I myself have noticed that many of my Blog entries have been read by someone near Langley, Virginia where I doubt if I have many regular readers.

Here is the list:

  7. Croft, re: the list of trigger words for Homeland Security, how do you know who (or where) reads your blog? I would like to know that for mine.
    Thanks

  8. Hi Robert. Go to Sitemeter.com and install the free version of their meter on your Blog. Their instructions are very good. When Sitemeter is installed and counting visitors, you can click on it and go to a screen where you can open many screens showing lots of information on your visitors including where they are.
