Week 5 Thing 12

I can see where Rollyo is useful. I do a lot of displays for the library so I liked putting helpful links on my blog. I usually get an idea and than look for graphics on 1 site and quotes on another, now I just type in a word and both websites bring up related items.

Week 5 Thing 11

Love library thing - it's great seeing who enjoys books similiar to mine. I love that I can put the books and especially the covers on my blog. I did think about adding some classics or a couple popular authors but I am who I am - a Romantic ! I read for pleasure and romance and light reading is my pleasure

Week 5 thing 10

Now this was fun! I really enjoyed this task. Actually putting it on the blog from yahoo took some thought but I had fun making my avatar. I was a little upset that all the girls seem to be thin but then I found out that they do have a full figured feature. Of course I didn't want my avatar to be have to exercise and diet as much as I do so I went for the thin one - if only it was that easy in the real world.
I could see me changing my avatars to match the mood of my blog!

Week 5 thing 10 (avatar)

Week 4 thing 9

Checked out the feeds that were suggested - really enjoyed Topix.net. Was very intimidated with the word"Zillions" jumping out at me form the home page of Technorati. It had too much!
I tried using a search for "Decorating" it gave me anything and everything to do with decorating.
was also a little upset because a post on the first page had foul language - wasn't expecting that.
I'll have to see if there is a way to filter these type of posts.
Feedster was ok, I liked how you could put limits on your search.

I hear Avatars are next so I'm excited to finish RSS feeds and go on to week 5. Next time you read me I should have a really cool avatar.

Week 4 thing 8

I set up my bloglines account and added some rss feeds. I just added feeds from the list they suggested, I later found out you can use your interests to get a list of feeds. I liked a lot of what I picked form the orginal list but I am definietly going to add or delete feeds as I see what really suits my needs.

Number 3 thing 6&7

I didn't have too much trouble loading a picture into my blog from flickr but... reading about mashups and web apps was a little confusing.
I was intriqued by Flickr Color Pickr - I would like to learn more about this and how I would apply it to my library life.



One thing I like about technology is the digital camera, it has made my job easier. I use the digital camera to take pictures of displays throughout the library. As soosn as the picture is taken I can print it out and put it in a display journal. Last week when I was in need of a book display idea, I went to my journal and decided to reuse one from over a year ago.
