Test Your Typing

Do you know how fast you type? This fun online test gives you a short fable to type and calculates both your speed and accuracy while you do so (it includes typing sounds and background music, which I think is what made it fun.) Here are my results:



I'm definitely getting slower, but I'm happy that I maintained decent accuracy despite my snail's pace. Take the test and post your results in comments.

Reading Speed

Do you know at what rate you read? Take this quick reading test over at Staples and find out.

My results:



The passage I was given to read was unfamiliar, but I answered the comprehension questions 100% correct, so I'll call that fairly accurate. How did you guys do? Let us know in comments.

Testing Picasa

Pardon me while I test this new Blogger feature for photos (and yes, I made the steampunk pendant out of an old pocket watch and some parts.) Small image, no alignment.

Medium image, right alignment. If this Picasa thing works out I shouldn't have to code image inserts anymore. I may have to actually thank Google for something.

Large image, center alignment. Large doesn't seem to be very large.

Large image, left alignment. Maybe they're sizing large by comparison to something else. Something that looks larger by comparison, perhaps?

Three covers. Let's see if Picasa stacks them in a row here. (checking preview) Nope.

The new feature works okay, and certainly saves a lot of coding headaches, but I'm so used to resizing and placing my images exactly where I want them that I don't think I'll be using it much.
