Thing # 13

At first I found the idea of tagging confusing . I'm starting to understand it better. I keep thinking I don't need to tag, organize websites and blogs and such. But, I can see where it would actually be a good idea. I could actually mark some fav sites , info on antique textiles,historical reacting,librarian sites, book review sites. Yeah, it could be a good thing. ok, say it with me... "I'll do this when I have more time"!

Thing # 12

Ummm...didn't like it. I thought it was confusing to navigate. I understand the concept behind it,but I don't wade through vast amounts of irrelevent material.I thought I might make a list of helpful librarian sites(like sunlink) but,it was too difficult and confusing. Frankly, I gave up.

Thing # 11

Oh my heck!!! I just looked at my blog and my book liost is gone!! I tell you I am cursed when it comes to cutting and pasting, exporting, etc!!!

thing # 11

Ok, creating the book list was easy. I don't know what it is about cutting and pasting. Technically, really not that hard. Except if your are me. Creating the avatar was easy and fun, getting onto my blog was a trial. Same with exporting my list. I had to ask someone and even then we had to do it three times before it 'took'.

Thing # 10

Here's what I discovered about image generators. They are a lot of fun! I had some problems understanding how to get some of them to work. I had problems with comic strip generator and custom sign generator in that some of th things I tried were blocked by the fire wall or just plain didn't look good ( tried one with writing in flowers) or I couldn't ge the animation to work. I had the most luck with this site: www.imagechef.com/ic/product.jsp
I added the Alicia Keys widget not quite understanding that it was more of an add .
This would be great to add to powerpoint presenatations either in the classroom or as a librarian presenting at faculty meetings, doing a collaborative lesson, or a library lesson.
I'm not too keen on the size but I am unsure how to change without losing it.
