Thing #10

For a learning activity that should have been so much fun and pretty simple, I found myself very frustrated. I have spent hours on this one activity. I am not sure if it was because my computer argued with me about every move I made, or because the music choices were so poor in RockYou. I would have loved to use something from my iTunes library, but after the copyright warning, I was wary. My computer crashed three times in the process of creating the slideshow, so I had to reboot and redesign several times. Each time I searched for appropriate, inspirational music but came up short. I hoped for a good instrumental piece or a song that captured the mood. In the end, after the third design, I decided against music and was ready to post. Then new problems presented themselves. After many tries, I finally embedded my slideshow from RockYou, only to find out it wasn't my slideshow. I remember reading that someone else had this problem, and I would sure like to know how to solve it. After redesigning my slideshow two more times, attempting the embedding process again, and still finding someones else's slideshow, I moved on to Slide.com. I like the music choices much better on this program and anxiously waiting to see if it works. This the the third time I have typed this blog, because the slideshow continues to scroll and then won't post.

Can someone tell me what step I am missing or why I can't embed?

Where can I read about copyright for music and slideshows?
