Week six: Tagging & Social Bookmarking

I am so impressed with the whole concept behind delicious.com! My favorites are so cluttered and disorganized, and it's so much easier to save something in delicious. I like being able to tag things...maybe I'll get organized! And the potential for sharing others' discoveries is awesome. The portability is a big asset too. I'm thinking about trying Diigo for Library related sites and documents...I like their feature of being able to save text.
My delicious user name is heatherdreith and I'd love it if people would send me bookmarks. In addition to Library things, I'm interested in paper crafting (scrapbooking and cardmaking) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia sites/articles. And just about everything else...I love exploring new things. Sometimes it's just a cursory look, but other times, it's fun to delve deeper.

These 23 Things lessons rock! I am learning so much, and even using the knowledge!

23 Things Kansas Week 5 RSS feeds

For this week's assignment, I chose to set up a bloglines account and subscribed to several suggested sites: Dilbert Daily Strip, Entertainment Weekly Movies, Fox News.com, Library stuff and USA today.com books. When I tried to go to one of my favorite websites and copy their link, I found they don't have an RSS feed. Then I tried to subscribe to the NCKL blog, but bloglines said "data base busy, try again." I noticed the NCKL blog showed up on my list of feeds, but when I clicked on it, it didn't show anything. I clicked on "all posts" and it still didn't show anything. I'm going to continue this assignment later...I'm so tired I can't even think of any websites to visit and try to subscribe.

Week 4: 23 Things Kansas

This has been an interesting assignment for me...interesting as in challenging. I'm not very good at digital photography anyway and my son had to tell me about a million times how to upload the photos from the camera to the computer. (I think I've got it now, Tristan!)

So, I set up my flickr account, took pictures of a virtual tour of the Waterville Public Library and tried to upload one to this post. I guess we'll see how it goes. Setting up the flickr account wasn't bad, but working with the photos was a little frustrating. And as you can see, I didn't get the photo in the blog...it's separate. I did learn a lot though, and am looking forward to working with this more.

I've also got to get some of these pictures on the Library's KLOW website! I haven't done anything with it since October! How does one person have time to do all this?
