Fonts

May have figured out how to select the font from the beginning of a post.

Week 6: # 14 +

Was successful in "claiming" my blog on Technorati. (Wish I could be as successful about selecting the font for my blog at the beginning of a post rather than typing it, selecting the text and then changing the font.)
Regarding Technorati, when performing an advanced search (Learning 2.0) in keywords, I saw a post by Mystery Lady - an HCPL blogger. I did not see that post in either of the other 2 searches. In searching by tags - the results also have sections for videos and photos. In searching by blog directory, every result seems to be a "favorite". They all indicated "Authority positions".

Week 6: #14 Technorati

Trying to claim my blog in Technorati, keep having an error. May not work.

Week 6: #13

Never did get to see the video on del.i.cio.us, but I did get an account created and all my bookmarks exported to it. Just not sure how to share it, but I'm thinking about that first. I would like it to show more postings on one page, but not sure if that can be changed - I didn't see it in settings. I'll have to play with this more.
This will be good when I work at other branches and want to see my bookmarks. I would like to see if there is a way to share some, but not all.

Week 6: #13 podcast

Something must be wrong with the podcast/video for Del.icio.us as I only get about 30 seconds of the video. I've tried it about 5 times during the last 15 minutes and I only get the introduction. I'll try again later.

Avatar revisited

I worked on the Yahoo avatar last week but couldn't figure out how to get it onto my blog. Finally broke down and played with Meez and created an avatar that I could upload. I went to my yahoo email this morning and there was my avatar from Yahoo. And I hadn't done anything but create it while trying to do this week's exercise. It's a miracle - or perhaps shows how the net is all connected. Da da dah!

Week 5: #12

See Week 2: # 4. Will delete this as soon as this exercise is over. Created a new card just for this exercise, which will be deleted as soon as this project is done. Has anyone watched the news lately? Doesn't Horizon already notify us about Holds and Overdues?

Week 5: # 11++

Library Thing finally got widgeted to my blog, through guidance from Jeff, who is conversant with this media. Although Library Thing itself is good.

Week 5: #11+

I added a clock "widget" but didn't go back to Library Thing to see if I could widget something from there. That will be another day.

Week 5: # 11 Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/cwhittin
Wasn't sure how to get a link to Library Thing onto this blog than to cut and paste. When I tried to "blog" it didn't let me get to my blog - it just wanted me to blog on that site. I didn't want to.
I can see where this site will be good for reader's advisory. A good site to refer customers too.

Week 5: # 10 again

Well, I finallly got something posted to my blog. I couldn't get my Yahoo Avatar to appear on my blog and the imagegenerator, while fun to create would never post to the blog. I'm not going back again. This one is done. It was fun and easy to do. Should have just gone right to this one, but wanted to try others. Shouldn't have done that. Now on to the next exercise.

Week 5: #10 ImageShack

I've tried posting this more than 5 times and the login has failed each time - internal server error. I have no patience for this - it is not fun enough. I've now tried copying and pasting the picture. Didn't work. The new title of this post should read ARRRRRRRGH! I'm done for today. I have to get to work.

Back tracking to Pixer

Several on staff are finishing up last week's assignment and they are having real problems getting Flickr to either upload their photo (it did it just fine on their first assignments last week) or, once they are uploaded and Pixered, the photo disappears the moment they try to "apply" the changes. I can't help with that - beyond me.

Week 4: # 8 & 9

Just realized that I had not finished # 8. Was supposed to add ihcpl participants blogs to my bloglines and could not figure out what that meant. Beth is on my speed dial (if I could set up speed dial she would be on it is a more truthful statement). At this branch, we have all bonded through these exercises. I successfully added HCPL staff blogs to my bloglines and have more than plenty to read.
# 9 was easy to do, I added my guilty pleasure - Page Six - going directly to the website. I have that bookmarked at home, so will probably continue to read it there, in the dark of night. I added USA Today Sports Headlines (have a house full of men - they've turned me to the dark side - another guilty pleasure).

Week 4: # 8 RSS feeds

Pretty easy to subscribe. Get NYT headlines already on email and have "Google Alerts" (similar, but different) for years to keep up with son in college. Would like for it to send exact comic (not link to) so my mother could get it - she cannot do links. Maybe in the future.
