Pot Luck #55: Getting the Most Out of Facebook

I am a regular user on Facebook. I usually check in on it about once every 2 weeks or so. I have had it for about 4 years now. I found it to be an awesome tool to keep and catch up with old high school and college classmates. I really like the new gift giving feature. Since my birthday is coming up, a lot of my family and friends are sending me these cool 'Mexican Regalos' which are mexican presents. It's especially nice when you get a poke from someone you haven't spoken to in a while. At least you know that they are thinking about you. I definitely recommend to a lot of people because it alot safer and cleaner than MySpace. It's even better now because you don't have to have a college email to sign up, so most of my family is on here! Go Facebook! I'm glad to see iHCPL has hoped aboard!

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.
