Very interesting, I use word alot and I enjoyed Zoho Writer. You have so many different things to chose from--colors, font sizes, adding pics, smiley faces.... I will probably use this again.

#17 SandBox.wiki

Added my blog to the long list. Such creative names for blogs!!! I was really impressed.

#16 Wikis

Watched the podcast. I iked the idea of the BookloversWiki/Princeton library. Whenever you are not sure about an author or a book to read, this would be a very useful tool. I know I have wanted to experiment with reading different authors but didn't know if I would like their books or not. There is not only a summary, there is a rating also which would be very helpful. I have often been asked about different books and now I can access the info by using this "wiki".

So...you would like my opinion about Library 2.0. Well, first of all, I think that it would have gone alot smoother as a joint project. I guess some of the branches were doing it that way. Good Idea!! There is always someone that knows more about these things than me & I am not too proud to ask for help. Now, I am determined to finish this project. I am doing this at home and have to ask my kids for help.

Watched the videocast about Technorati. I ended up on a YouTube site. Watched different videos, tried to put one on my blog, but I have to wait for help to arrive. Very technical. I don't think I will ever use this on my own.

#13 Del.icio.us

I do know about bookmarks! I wasn't completely in the dark on this subject. I do find these to be quite useful, especially if you use more than one computer . I used this to bookmark recipes--since I hate to cook, but love to collect recipes.

Rollyo

One of my favorite spots is KnowItNow. This is actually a website you can go on at Libraryvisit.com. It is such a useful site when you have kids that have tons of projects. I wasn't too impressed with this Rollyo. I had some problems with this. I got on ok & signed up, filled in the blanks and then?????what am I supposed to do now????? Anyway, it was another interesting task. DONE!!!!!

Library thing. I had no problem here, believe it or not! I got on ok and posted some of my favorite books. I have been on a Patterson kick. I just got done reading #5, The Fifth Horseman. I am waiting for #6. You can always count on some kind of twist at the end of these stories. So, they are now on my blog. Its A Miracle!!!!

Smileyface

What an ordeal this was!!!!!!I had fun creating my smileyface, I got to add the eyes, mouth, arms, legs....BUT----Getting it to show up on my blog took forever!! Thankfully, Julie is a very patient person & she was a great help!!!!! Added my little angel, all by myself!

RSS & Newsreaders
I found this part very easy--setting up an account. I chose some topics that I was interested in and added them to my favs. There is quite an extensive colection of sites.



This was even more difficult for me since I have been away from blogging for quite some time.
I found a site called Dog Reader. This site is about dogs that are deaf or hard of hearing. I did learn quite a bit from this site. I checked out a few blogs that other YPL employees did and mine is so boring compared to everyone elses.

About Me

I am very confused at this time about what I am doing. Hopefully, I will get better at this as I go along.
