Week 5 Thing 11

I love Library Thing!! This has a lot of potential for Reader's Advisory. Another part of 23 Things that I want to revisit.

Week 5 Thing 10

Creating the avatar was fun, but what's with the "Stepford wife" body image? These image generators are interesting, but there's also something a little bizarre about them.

Week 4 Thing 9

These search engines for RSS feeds are amazing. They provide access to so much information. I would like to explore this in more detail at another time. For right now, they overwhelm me.

Week 4 Thing 8

Ok, this is where technology and I fail to see eye to eye. I find some time to work on my blog, and that's not easy on these busy summer days. I even get a little excited about it. And then I run into a brick wall. Trying to register for Bloglines, and nothing happens. So I wait ...still nothing. I'm not giving up, but this sure is frustrating!

Thanks to Scrappin'Erin for her hint on getting the time stamp changed!


A little blip with the server caused the problem. So now I have gone into Bloglines and set up my account and am receiving the newsfeeds. I can see where this could be very useful as an effective way to communicate important info in a timely manner. I do need to remember to check it regularly so the feeds don't pile up.
