Week #4 RSS feeds and Merlin 8 and 9

I set up an RSS feed at Google Reader and put two sites on it. I haven't figured out how to access it from my blog, though. I know you can get that little symbol on there somehow. I also open a Bloglines newsreader http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs
I'd like to have it accessible from my blog, though. Otherwise, I just have to go to another place.

MERLIN looks like it has a lot of interesting stuff; a nice way to get to know Maryland librarians and news affecting us. I added MERLIN to my Bloglines. I also added Your Neiborhood Librarian 2.0 and TheLibraryLass (Liz's blog) and another YourNeighborhoodLibrarian (Paula at TO-lots of good stuff, great reader's advisory, too).

Here's a good place to look for library themed blogs http://www.ipl.org/div/blogs/

Week #6 tagging, folksonomies, and technorati

Week #3 5, 6 and 7

I am still working on Flickr. I'm trying to put a picture of my son, Josh, in my blog. The pic was on my Yahoo email and I've successfully uploaded it to Flickr. Now I'm trying to email it to here. I created a google account and am following directions, I think, but so far no luck. I've got 20 more minutes to work on this....

I like the idea of Mappr--arranging pics on a U.S. or world map geographically. I would use something like that for lots of things.

It's the last day to finish the 23 things and I still can't get my picture on my blog!#&*$#@%#$@&*#

I got the picture on last night! It involved cutting and pasting, I don't even remember exactly what, but I could do it again and that's what's important. Since the picture was taken in Mexico, I put it on the map, too. I still need to explore Mappr more as I'm not sure how to put it on a map with other people's pictures.

I wish I had finished by deadline, but I didn't. BUT...I'm going to finish on my own. This stuff is kind of fun--frustrating as anything but fun when it works!
