Week 2 Zamzarrring!

Fun and games this week with Zamzarring.

How many times have I needed this in the past. Our computer at home is Microsoft works so this is definitely a handy tool for me to use.

However, I did this at the learn.net the first time and decided to do a publisher doc and then convert. This was not successful and it took a long time (more than half and hour) for anything to come back and then it was unusable.


However, I then took a wps doc and converted to a word on my work computer and this then only took five mintues.

This will therefore be a useful tool to know about but would not raise customers hopes too soon when helping just in case!!

Week One - Bloggity blogger


Just when you think it's over, it's time to renew one's skills. This has got the old brain working well = what was my password, did I write i down? No, but I remembered it, so not losing too much grey matter yet!


I do like to keep up with as much as I can. Although I am picky, time is precious and I really don't want to be everyones 'friend', so apologies if I don't accept you on facebook when you ask me.

Using blogging as part of my work = yes this will appeal to some and it is our job to give good customer service whether it be recommending a book, showing someone the learn.net, or relaying information though a blog.

So, what would our customers expect - well it depends on the customer - if it's someone interested in movies, then blog about the latest DVD's, if its a 10 year old then blog about the latest book craze, eg Percy Jackson's cool... a teen may want the latest new about graphic novels.

Blogging is just another form of communication and it can be fun.
If you look carefully at image - there is a tiny bungy jumper - no, it's not me, but that's how I feel sometimes!!
