Thing 10

We still do not have Flash installed on our computers here at the library. There is also a limit as to what we can save and change on our computers. I did not want to install a new toolbar and the bookmarklets option will not work without Flash. I did go through the steps and added delicious to my favorites. I could see the use of delicious because frequently I remember a good site I have used before and can not quite recall it. This tool would help with this occasional challenge.

Thing 9

You have to add a gadget under the layout to post the badge you make using Flickr. I had no problem making the badge but simply copying the code, as the completed badge said did not work. I wasted way too much time trying different things to make it work. A big thanks to Loretta for walking me through this one to finally complete it. My daughters and I use Kodak.com to upload our pictures and share them with each other and friends. I like the Kodak service because it is very easy to use and only those that you choose to share with can see your pictures. You can also choose which albulms to share with each person.

Thing 8




"IM" at last something I have already been using for years! Still, I need to learn all of the little abbreviations.

A big thank you to Loretta for helping me with this. It was not very intuitive! Now I know you copy the code, not the picture! I hope this helps someone else. Tigger by the way is my very sweet cat. For those of you who knew she had emergency surgery, she is just fine now.

Thing 5, Flikcr


young adult books 001
Originally uploaded by carladay58
This was a pretty difficult process. I had to create accounts for yahoo, flickr, set up the blog post to my blog from flickr, take a picture, upload it and on and on and on....My photo was taken with the idea of perhaps one day posting descriptions of the new books on my new young adult book shelf. This way I could let young adults know when we have new books in.

Thing 4 RSS feeds

This is one of those tools that I have been intrigued by. My way of keeping up with different technical sites (of all things) has been to periodically visit those sites to see if something has changed. Who knew that RSS feeds were so simple! Thank you NEFLIN for giving me the motivation to finally get started.
