Week 6 #14

Searching Technorati by keyword brought up a number of entries but there seemed to be no blog tags for "learning 2.0" when I searched in the blog option for it.

Looking at Popular it was interesting that you can see what the blog is about by looking at the tags listed. I looked at one that made me realize the F word is not censored out of blog postings. I hadn't thought about the censorship issue in relation to blogs. I was surprised to see that Arianna Huffington has a blog and that one of the most popular blogs, Problogger, is about how to make money blogging. I hadn't really thought about blogging as a money making situation but of course it can be.

Tagging (week 6 #13)

I really liked delicious and have tagged about 10 sites I found on the HCPL delicious. The tagging is great and I do see a real use for this as a reference tool. I put Fedstats in just because it will be a handy way to get to it. This is a neat tool I'm sure I will use for reference and personally to provide easy access to websites I'm interested in.

Ribbon Generator

Week 5: LibraryThing and Library Elf exercises completed.

I thought I'd done a post on Ribbon Generator and found it in my draft. For some reason it has disappeared. I need to find the ribbon generator again or ceate another one. So I am not yet finished working on that part of week 5. I've tried and tried to add an Avatar -- so I'll try to post one from Weeme again. So I am not finised yet with this week (5). I did set up 5 books in Library Thing and have set up and am receiving the library elf message about overdues.

Avatar from Weeme

Both Week 3 and 4 Completed

For the completion of week 3, please see post on PicNic. That was the last exercise I needed to do before it was completed.

RSS Feeds are an interesting thought and I may actually use them in retirement but right now I don't really see how I will have time to even look at them. I went to Topix to add a feed on breast cancer. That is the only one I'll probably make a point to look at. I liked the Topix site the best because it was actually news instead of what appeared to be posts from drug companies. So, I do think having this feed on my blogline will be something I will use on a regular basis. I may also look at the NYTimes book reviews as well. I am behind because of being on vacation for a week and I was behind before I left. Racing to catch up but exercises are so time consuming for me since I am more technology challenged than some.

Picture Edited by picnic

I edited a picture in picnic but now I'm not sure how to save it to the blog. I wanted to put it in the blog. It is saved in picnic under the name aimeann if anyone wants to take a look at it and I marked it public. The title is pencil sketch of blue hills. Let me know if there is something else I need to do to complete this assignment. It was fun but took about two hours after trying all three picture edited approaches. I had little luck with the other two.
