Unsubscribing to Feeds in Google Reader

From the Archives (June 2012)

This post was originally a step-by-step tutorial for unsubscribing from RSS feeds inside Google Reader. Google Reader was discontinued in 2013, so the original directions no longer apply.

I’m leaving this post up because it captures a very real (and still familiar) problem: information overload. The tools have changed—but the feeling hasn’t.

IMO: Favorite Mother-Daughter Workbook

Often while photographing my daughter, she'll say, "Hold on! I'm trying to do what I learned in Christian Charm School!" Then she'll adjust her posture, body and smile in such a way that it causes her to glow. I can't really explain why, but there's a marked difference in befores and afters.

Anyway, as she said, this lesson came from the Christian Charm Course by Emily Hunter. We found our copy of the book and workbook at a yard sale, so we have the one pictured above (1985). However, there is a 2009 updated one available.



We've only begun the book, but we both really like it!

My 1st Portrait Shot with Blurred Background!



Dabs in my 1st "blurry background" picture!

(Maybe I'm the only one who's photographically-challenged, but just in case there's anyone else out there like me...) Thanks to this webpage on DSLRtips.com, I was able to do something I've always wanted to learn how to do: blur the background in my photographs!
