Thing 6 Sunday 2/22/09

I was able to create a phrase in flickr using the fun images, but I have no idea how to migrate it into the blog. Any suggestions?

Ok...Thanks to the help from Kris Rosenberg, I have it!!!!!

Thing 5 Sunday 2/22/09



Well....This is a fun one. After stumbling around in the dark for a while I finally figured out how to create a link to my photos on flickr.
Here's the link!

This one certainly has possibilities for library websites. Pictures from past events, previews for pending ones. I'm sure that more uses will become evident as I get deeper into all this.

Thing 4 Wednesday 2/4/2009

Ok....Now I'm getting excited.
What an absolutely cool and useful thing to have a tool like this that allows for depositing library information quite literally in the laps of our patrons.
And it couldn't possibly be easier.
Once again...ignorance has been bliss.
All I can say is that my library website navigation classes will never ever be the same!!

Thing 3 Tuesday 2/3/09

There's a line on one of the links I followed that spoke not only of the sheer size of the blogosphere, but referred to remembering how cool it was the first time you got onto the Internet. Exploring the blog search engines was very much like the first time I typed "George Armstrong Custer" into the Google search bar. Unbelievable. Vast.
I did prefer the google blog search to technorati. It's possible that it is just a visually familiar format and therefore more comfortable. I will continue to explore technorati since it seems to be the top dog.
