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!

Week #5, Online image generator 10

Liz showed me how to sign on to Meez. So I played with different images for a while; lots of fun, then I thought I lost everything--computer froze--but when I signed in my avatar was there! Once I saw the tie-dye, I had to wear it and the cat was perfect. I guess you could change your outfit any time you want!

Week #5 LibraryThing and Rollyo 11 and 12

LibraryThing is just great. I'll use this a lot and will explore it further; there's so much to see in there. I put a link on my blog to LibraryThing.

Rollyo--I finally got it on my blog, symbol and all! It wasn't as hard as I made it seem--I spent lots of time on this and I didn't need to--but that's the way it is with most of these "23 Things".

Foolin' around

I know, I know, my Blog is titled FourCatsOnly. But the picture is so cute, and our dalmatian, Spot, (now deceased), knew all 4 cats.
I'm having fun with images tonight, on Monday I'll work on Flickr and my avatar. This is a slow-go for me, but it's kind of fun!

Week #2 3 and 4

Okay, I've created an account, named my blog and selected a template. I've written a profile and posted. Now I need to find out what's next. I've been looking at some of the other blogs and they are so neat looking. I feel like I'm in kindergarten.

I also registered my blog and am ready to roll.
