Boy Am I Annoyed!!!!!

Now I'm seriously un happy. I have had to make three attempts at placing a posting on my Xanga Site (http://www.xanga.com/smudger59kes) - and I'm starting to lose patience.


Before this , the posting was going to be about what hadn't happened.


But now I'm seriously annoyed -  


I was , and am, going to talk about the following:


I like toolbars - that is to say I like add-on toolbars for Internet Explorer, and I have had, for a while, the Google toolbar.



The above is an image of the latest Beta toolbar - version2 ( Available here - http://toolbar.google.com/index-beta.php). And what I do like about it is the "Blog This" button. It is only available for Blogger, as far as I can see, but even so - you find a site you like, you want to blog about, and you can do it off the same browser page. I do like that.


The other new addition to my web experience is a program called Newz Crawler (available at http://www.newzcrawler.com/ ). This is a news browser, amongst other things, and until now I have never found a program that I can get on with. Web News was something that I never bothered with - but a workshop in the Web-User Magazine changed that. The workshop was aimed at the use of Usenet services. I read the article and liked what I saw. Downloaded the trail version and gave it a try. I was so impressed with what I saw, within two days I had "put my hand in my pocket" and coughed up the $24.95 (approx £15). As far as I concerned - well worth the money. And as a bonus - you find an item you like - and you can blog-this from the program as you could with the toolbar. Brill


Finally - a little program I'm not so sure of.



The program is called KlipFolio (available from http://www.klipfarm.com/farm.php if you are interested). And I'm not really sure how you would describe it. You "subscribe" to various types of information, which then appear, in a shortened form, on the KlipFolio "browser". You then read the one line stories, clicking on them if you want "the full story". Will let you know what I think of this in the future.
