Week 5: #12 The "Library" Elf will remind you!

I have registered under my personal email so that I don't have a million and one emails going to work, lol. This service seems very similiar to that which HCPL already provides. I guess we shall see if it is any different.

Week 5: #11 A Thing about Library Thing

Pheww....This one took a little while to figure out. Selcting the books was the easy part, but I had to ask a fellow circ assistant how to add it to my page. Pretty cool though. I enjoyed doing this activity, almost as much as the avavtar!!! My LibraryThing is added to the right of my page so check out some of my favorite reads!!

Week 5: #10 Play around with Image Generators

I edited this picture as a comic on a customize comic stip website and I created the avatar to the right from Meez.com. It was pretty cool. A little time consuming because there is so much stuff to look at and pick from. I had fun with this one!!!

Week 4: #9 Finding Feeds

This exercise did take a little bit of time. I tried just going to some of my fav websites and tried adding them without having to go through a search engine type deal. Unfortunately, most of the websites that I tried did not have that option so I ended up using feedster, which I found was a lot easier and less hassle then try to find a small link on a webpage.

Week 4: #8 Make life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader

This exercise, I do have to admit, was a little harder than the rest. Setting up the blogline account and subscribing to things like weather and news and quotes of the day was easy, but it took me a little while to figure out how to subscribe to someone's blog. But I got it!! And I must, me like! :-)

Week 3: #7 Photo Editing Tools

This is Picture #1 (left). I used pixer.us to edit it and turn into picture #2 (below). I had never used this feature before. It was really cool and now I know what to do when I want to make a black & white picture.

I used the colorpicker to find this pic. I love the color yellow and I am defenitly intrigued by the fact that I can search by a specific color.

This was defenitly something new to me. I have never used flickr or even photobucket for that matter. But it's really cool and now I know how to do it! And I love yellow flowers, they're my favorite!

Week 2: #4 Online Safety and Sharing

Online safety and privacy are very important in evading many problems. By giving away what may seem like harmless information, can actually be information that a theif can use to steal your identiy. I personally am comfortable with sharing information like a personal moment in my life or things like that, but as far as posting something about someone who is not aware of it or giving away information that can be used to hurt me, that I will no do!!

Week 2: #3 Grab Yourself a Blog in 3 Steps

When I was going through the directions on how to start the blog, I found that the video blogger tutorial was the easiest because I was able to see an exact example of what I needed to do right in front of me. The hardest was well, I'm not sure, I couldn't find one that I found to be the hardest.
