I can't believe it

I can't believe that I am creating my own blog. It now as the RSS added as well as a poll. Now I just have to wait for the week 5 tutorial to become available - wiki's, that should be okay. It's week 10 that I'm worried about - mashups. Never heard of that before. Hopefully it will be straight forward like all the rest has been so far, even though I've never thought much about blogs before.

Week 4

So I'm trying to master bloglines and rss. Unless I've set it up wrong, I just find this technology a pain. It's just another thing I have to log in and check. Does anyone know if I can set it up so I can have them sent to my email address rather than having to log into bloglines?
I currently belong to a list called Library Link of the Day that's sent to my email address daily and I find some of the articles they sent useful as it keeps me up-to-date with the happenings of the library world (though it is predominately American).
The five feeds I selected are:
~ ABS blog for librarians
~ Bloglines news
~ The book design review
~ Librarybytes, and
~ Powerhouse museum - photo of the day.
But after seeing what they send, I might get rid of some and find something different.

Well, I'd better go find someone else's blog to comment on. I saw in the list a blog that may belong to someone where I work, so I'm going to go and read that and see if I can work out who it is.

Flickr pictures

These pictures brings back so many memories back. I used to sit at this spot when I was younger and read or study. I can't believe I found it in Flickr. I think I'm going to be addicted to this site. The pictures are from http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=bluff+lookout+glenbrook&m=text

Technorati

I've just been looking at Technorati at trying to find something good to read. I don't like the layout. Why can't people's comments be listed underneath the original posting rather than having to click on 'Authority'? I'll have to find another site to search to compare.

Frustrated

Okay, so I'm meant to be learning about Library 2.0 but where I work, IT don't allow anything so I can't watch anything on Youtube, we have no sound. Arghhh...
But somehow I am creating my own blog.
I'm hoping to get more up to date with the technology that people are using these days. I haven't got the technology at home, so it'll be up to mum and dad's to listen and watch some stuff I think. I'm all for lifelong learning. I just finished 6 years at uni, and my mum also just finished a diploma in some kind of gardening course at TAFE so maybe it's in the blood.
Blogs in libraries. Yes. Get info out to the technological savvy customers, and let them give us feedback anonymously. I think we also need an internal one so we can vent about annoying customers, give tips on how we handled a situation, alert each other to the latest assignment the kids are coming in for etc.
