So what in the world is Podcasting and why should I care? What a great question! Here is a great definition from Wikipedia.com:

“A podcast is a series of digital-media files, which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.”

Digital or not to digital . . .

We just completed a new podcast on digital scrapbooking. Digital scrapbooking is the new scrapbooking craze and there are many benefits to scrapbooking digitally as opposed to the traditional way. We talk about this in the podcast and we also talk about how to get started and what are the best software programs to use.

Cheri will be putting together several digital scrapbook tutorials that will help you tremendously in getting started. They will be for a nominal fee, and will provide a wealth of information that it took her years to figure out on her own. Look for these great tutorials and happy digi scrapin’.

I have created some digital scrapbooking pages using the Memory Mixer software program. These are pictures of flowers that we took while we were in France. The flowers there were so beautiful.
