Week 4 Wikis

Well, I looked over the ativity outline and I realise that I did the requirements. I did do the reading and even visited Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. Read all of the articles and joined wetpaint. I really liked Library Success. There a lot of links to recent developments. Like all things, time to surf and check them out are at a premium.

week 3 RSS feeds

Here is my post from our website:

Well, I have added a few feeds to my blog and some to IE7 here. Library theme rss is Blogs of Note; Stitching them rss is A stitch in Time and news rss is Macleans. I figure I have ALL my bases covered. I tend to use blogrolls on my blog to check out my faves. My site visitors can see what I am interested in and go on a merry journey and see where it leads them.

I like rss feeds (if there is a blog that is consistent with posting), and like the ease of reading the newest updates. I do tend to use my blogroll more though. I will be posting about the feeds I have subscribed to in my blog soon…. (been very busy on desk……. very, very busy!) :o)

WEEK 5-6 , February 14 to 20, 2008–PLAYTIME!

Well, this was fun. Found some new things to try.

Added the The Blog Readability Test and found that my blog is Highschool (geesh,did better when I had the wordpress blog... but I don't like wordpress).

TV Reviews




I also did investigate this site; “Slam the Boards!” and thought it was neat.

Sketchcast was not fun, I could not make it work.

google custom search is also a tool I use, although infrequently. I sometimes have too much to do to remember all the benefits of apps.

Week 7 Photos and Images

Well, I am quite comfortable with adding photos and images to my posts, so that is done!

Week 8 Social Bookmarking and Tagging

Well, I find that social bookmarking and tagging is almost to me akin to rss feeds. updates to information, easy to find and easy to use.

I have had a del.icio.us account for a while, and I am familiar with reddit, digg and stumbleupon. At one time or another I have visited all of the sites.

I did visit library thing and really liked it. I did add it too.

Flickr... well I have been using another photo hosting site (can't remember the name, tells how much I use it), tho I have recently joined flickr.

the two activities this week are to create a del.icio.us account (done) and created a library thing account (done - crzysttchr is the name surprise!!!).

Week 9 Social networking

So, this was tres fun. I have had a myspace account for a while and a Facebook acct too. I like the Facebook as it is more streamlined and has more to do. It is more uniform and easier to read. MySpace is crazy. It seems anyone can ""pimp"" thier page and not all are easy to read. It is interesting to find out information about friends, rock groups, etc.

I did visit the HPL facebook page and added the scrabulous app. I also looked around the site.

On the Library 2.0 site I did add a pic of myself, changed details and added some friends. I also visited some friends pages!
