You do have a knack of hitting the nail on the head. If I could have a watchword for my own writing (and maybe my life) I'd choose something like simple but significant :-) Joanna Thanks you once again for your feedback Karen. You do have a knack of hitting the nail on the head.

If I could have a watchword for my own writing (and maybe my life) I’d choose something like simple but significant :-)

You always have such wonderful words of advice. I also appreciated Rosa's question about voice thread. I'm signed up and used it to comment here. I've been keen to give it a try but haven't yet taken that step. Thank you Joanna for keeping it simple but significant. :) Joanna, I have now come back to this several times.

I'm very pleased to meet you and find your blog. You're right, less is more is the hardest one of all - but to my mind also the most important. When you come to believe it, to trust it's true - the other things all fall into place. Hope to see you again soon Joanna Kathryn, Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m very pleased to meet you and find your blog.

Time to think of the 5 points = when I was out for a walk. Powerpoint slides = about 20 minutes. I'd been working on improving my powerpoint technique (for the net, not a live presentation) for something I'm working on for Joyful Jubilant Learning, so I'd speeded up by the time I came to this Recording my commentary = the 5 minutes it takes to play the slides. This is what I love about voice thread compared to podcasting - it frees me from the feeling I need to get it right, and I just record it conversationally, as if I'm talking to you. One take. There's no editing after you've done the recording - it's there instantly. Same with uploading photos or powerpoint slides or other documents. It can take most formats. Once your thread is done you get an embed link (as if copying from youtube) which you cut and paste into the blog post... Writing the post to host the embed link = about 10 minutes In total: not long. Less time than it takes me for the podcasts given recording, editing, getting it to the right volume, uploading to gcast, posting here. And if I'm just speaking to a photo on VoiceThread rather than creating the powerpoint slides - less time again. You know I'm going to lull you into doing this eventually don't you?

The one that's hard for me is learning that "less is more". I know it's true but still always feel like I have to explain, explain, explain! Great simple points here!
