I guess this image generator is lego dude. Really it is WPL staff
insisting on a very important rule at the library. Unbelievable
that we had to come up with said rule! Just a little humor here,
I hope. Online image generators sure do bring the inserting
clipart of old, to a new level.

Yes thing 13 is library thing

and I keep hitting enter and posting my title without the post. I like LibrayThing and I will
spend time exploring it and learning from it. I plan to list books that I want to remember
to read and think this would be a good place to do it. I have joined and will explore more later.
I entered the tag "babytime" out of cuiosity, and there is much I want to read there.

Thing #12

Well, I am glad to open my mind to possibilities, but I have discovered that Twitter is something
I am not interested in. Still, I now know what it is. As usuual, it was easy to join the site. I don't
know where all my "friends" came from so suddenly, but I am glad Dr. Phil is one of them! I also
don't know why people are following me when I haven't said anything.

Today is American Thanksgiving and I quickly rec'd many such tweets, however they really
said nothing. That is my problem with Twitter.

I did learn somewhere in searching, that to send private messages on twitter, type D+username.

Thing 11

Technorati was simple to navigate, as simple as typing in 'libraries', brought up interesting blogs
related to the topic. I quickly noted that Libray Weblogs and Internet Public Library, Librarians, and Library Science Blogs would make very interesting exploration. I mostly notice
that blogging and following blogs, and RSS feeds are all still very time consuming. They are
interesting however, if I had the inclination to spend so much time on the computer. Granted I
am slow in these explorations!

I repeat, Thing 10

Having successfully set-up my own google reader account, I was thrilled to discover how simple
it is to subscribe to RSS feeds . I now can be alerted quickly to news and information that I
have an interest in...narrowing down from infinity it would seem.

Thing 7 ran out of time for too much more fun...

Thing 8. I am excited to have learned two new things. Could be common knowledge out there,

however, new to me. 1. Did you know that a url or other item which has been copied and pasted,

remains in memory, and can be pasted again and again, only clearing when something new is

copied. 2. Also learned while editing my website posting, that the keys 'shift' and 'enter' will

alter the spacing from double to single. I suppose it also works in reverse, will have to look into this.

Week 3 Thing 6 Flickr Fun



Betsy's Flickr Link
Notice a pattern here...I had to use this cute little guy again.

I did open a flickr account and uploaded him from our WPL hard drive.
Unfortunately, it could not be added to my blog from there, hence
the above flickr link. Do I sound like I have any idea what I am talking about? I have certainly been clicking on alot of things and some things
are becoming clearer, such as, Elaine is a very patient person!

Somewhere in this exercise we have been asked to post a comment on
one of our blogs. I have just done this as well, it was actually easy, what a relief. Going to check on what to do next and then will return.
